I posted my resume to multiple online sites. No big deal. About 1 week later, "Jim Sims" from "The Trident Group" (yes, Minnesota) calls me. Long story short, very polished, very convincing. Unlike the previous respondents to this particular complaint, I was not unemployed, yet looking to change jobs. After all the questions (which were *very* well thought out & relevant to someone looking for another job), I — in 20-20 hind site — am embarrassed to death that I let the "How much do you have in your 401k, more or less than $50,000" question just "slide by" in that interview (well, I was on my cell & driving home, but...). Boom: the scammers knew they had a big fish on the line. And this is one of the main points: they sell 401k and/or whatever "financial services" along with fake job placement (placement masks their true intent). Period.
Nice.
Thankfully my "too good to be true" intuition kicked in along with the out-of-bounds questioning listed above, & my research lead me to this site!
