I saw an Ad on the Philadelphia Craigslist for a receptionist position at a Wellness Center. The ad did not mention the job's location, so I sent an email to the response address listed to find out more information. I received an email which did not contain the location of the job. It did contain a link to the High Rise Career's website which allowed me to fill out my basic information and submit my resume. Which I did. The next day I got an email stating I met the job criteria and could go ahead and apply, and my application would be forwarded to the Wellness Center. So I went back to the website to fill out what I thought would be an application.instead I was asked on page one if I would be interested in furthering my education. I clicked no. Page number two wanted to know if would be interested in investing in a home-based business. Again I clicked "no". Page number three: would I be interested in a debt relief program, I clicked "no". The next page, they wanted something like five references including addresses. Phone numbers, emails... At which time it was pretty clear to me that THIS WAS A SCAM!!! What application asks for so many references and so much information as the first bit of information needed on the application?! So out of respect for my personal and professional contacts I bagged the whole thing. I can only pray they don't call me or sell my information... But I'm sure they will.
Don't waste your time, folks.
