I, like most people, have been looking for a job. I got really excited about this position and now I feel like a fool. I did get my credit report, but not from the company they requested (profinity.com or pro-finity.com). I went through the government's site - annualcreditreport.com. I feel like such a moron to fall for this. I got my hopes up so much, but I do appreciate so many people posting their reports. Otherwise, I'd be sitting waiting for a call that will never come.
The sender's email was [email protected]. Rule of thumb for me from now on: Don't trust a dot-info. This is the second or third one this week for me. Lots of scammers out there. Be careful.
