I received an email on Aug. 17th from a Mattias Olsson saying that I am being considered for a part-time position with their company after reviewing my resume on careerbuilder.com. I thought this was strange because I have never posted my resume on careerbuilder.com.
I did not respond to the email, but I googled the company name and found a very similar situation with a company called Aventi Soft Labs, Inc. It looks like the same scam, but they slightly changed the name a bit. Here is a copy of the email I received.
