STAY AWAY FROM 1st Premier Staffing and UVJmanagement.com
I responded to an add on Craigslist for "Payroll/Bookkeeper" in Fort Collins CO. The next morning I received the following email:
Hello,
I am Kent, the hiring staffing assistant. I got your resume today,
and I am excited to let you know that I think you are an awesome candidate.
Your previous job history is a huge plus. If you choose,
I would like to move you forward in the application process now!
The next step is to get your info over to Diane the hiring manager.
To avoid problems, she only views resumes that are viewable online.
To load your resume complete the instructions below:
1. Go to the our web site:
Uvjmanagement.com/application/
(Copy and paste this link to your address bar if it is not clickable)
2. Next, enter your personal info and upload your resume.
IMPORTANT! Each applicant is required to have a personal application
code in order to fill the application.
Your code is: T5x2SGvMe
Let me know when you finish the instructions.
If you don't contact me by tomorrow I'll assume that you are not interested
in the job, and I'll go on to the next candidate.
Joel, you're a decent candidate for the job,
but I will move on to the next candidate if I have to.

I was a bit skeptical and my suspicions were confirmed after I looked at the website link. Basically they are running some kind of fishing scam. One of the initial information forms asks to "verify my phone number". You put your phone number in and then they "send you a verification code". Except, they don't send you the verification code—Craigslist does. Meaning that they seemed to be trying to obtain a verification code that I received from Craigslist. I'm not sure what exactly they were trying to accomplish, but at the very least they could have hacked my Craigslist account and who knows what sort of personal information they could have gleaned from their.
