Job Scam
CareerBuilder.com |  +1 Job scam I am unemployed and looking for work. I posted my resume on careerbuilder.com and heard from this company (see all emails below). Basically I found that their website (www.kerkseyconsult.com) was only 5 days old (verified by: http://www.whois.net/whois/kerkseyconsult.com) and all of the text from that website were stolen from: (www.sostechgroup.com).
I believe they are running the check/wire scam. See excerpt below form this link for example: (http://jobsearch.about.com/od/jobsearchscams/qt/reportascam.htm)
\"Jennifer is just one of the many job seekers who have written to tell me that they were the victim of a scam. She was told that she would receive $490 a week. Then she received another email saying that there was a mistake and the company had accidentally sent her 3,200 dollars. When she received the check she was supposed to wire the rest of the money to someone else. That\'s a typical attempt to get you to part with your money. The check from the company wouldn\'t have cleared, and she would have already wired the money to the third party.\"

Scam EmailI got the same emails for the job kerksey consult.Could not get on their website after the first time. Could not bring it up after they told me I had the job and they were going to send me a check.
Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
