After responding to a craigslist posting for an "Office Associate" position, I received the following email:
Good news!
We've decided we'd love for you to come in for an interview. We think you'd be great for the position we have available.
However, our company policy requires us to run credit and background checks for all new employees. This policy is a result of past problems we've had with other employees hired through craigslist.
While the background check can be done in person, during the interview, the credit check can be done at your own leisure. We will REQUIRE the verification # of your credit check to schedule you for an interview. You will NOT need to send us any personal information. Simply send us the verification # and we can set a time slot for you to come in.
Click here to obtain the free credit report. All information is completely confidential. Once we confirm the verification number we can schedule your interview.
Feel free to e-mail us with any questions you may have. We are looking to hire as soon as possible, and interviews will be on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Just a typical creditreport.com referral scam. The website is nothing more than a Wordpress page with some stolen copy and a few hotlinked images of juice. Remember, if a potential job requires a credit check, it is the hiring organization's responsibility to run it, not the applicant's.
