National-credit-score.org Another Craigslist Phishing scam

Here we go again, yet another Phishing Scam. I responded to a legitimate-looking job posting on Craigslist and recieved the following e-mail response:

Hello,

Thank you so much for your interest in this position. I appreciate you contacting us.

I would like to take the next step with you. However, before I am able to schedule a formal meeting, my company will require that you acquire a recent (past 2-3 business weeks) credit score. We started this because our company had some bad incidents with prior employees taking advantage of having access to a company credit card.

The hiring company prefers it that you use http://www.national-credit-score.org/406323 to receive your credit report as they are offering the check for free to you unlike other places. We also discovered that their scores always reported back contain the most accurate information, but feel free to use any service you like.

Once you submit all of the required information, they will show your personal report. Please print it out and save it for your records. Please DO NOT EMAIL me the entire report, as it will have private content. You will need printed report for the personal meeting. If you have a lower than expected credit score, it will never prevent you from a position with us. I had a fairly low score when I started.

Once your finished please e-mail me your phone number that you can be easily reached, and your availability to arrange an interview.

Personally, I am hoping to fill this position with a new friendly face and am looking forward to your quick response.

Best Regards,
Nicole Taylor

This "generic" e-mail response obviously screams "SCAM". Nowhere does it reference the company or position applied for. So just for fun I decided to check out the domain name and came up empty on several web searches. I followed up with the link provided in the e-mail and it, too, was a dead end. Apparently the host website was "terminated" for a "policy violation". Nice try!
