I understand your son?s pcrpseetive. Sometimes I just need my mom and I am a grown woman with ten kids of my own. Not all people feel this way, so treasure the blessing and make it happen. The other day I was at the shoe store looking for some comfortable flip-flops for my thirteen-year-old. I told the sales lady exactly what I wanted and all she heard was ?for my thirteen-year-old.? This sales clerk came back with everything BUT comfortable shoes. She had rhinestone bling, platform bling, bronze sleek bling; she did not listen to me. She heard what she wanted to hear. We did not connect, so I left and went to a store where someone would listen to me. We may be spending time with our kids, but if we are not hearing them, they feel the time does not count. Quantity time is useless if the quality of it is lacking in understanding. Make an effort to hear your son, repeat back to him what you hear him saying, and show him that you are available to him in whatever way he needs you. Having children is a blessing and when they love you in return the blessing is multiplied many times over. Enjoy the challenge he has placed before you.

Since you have to dial the prepaid card phone, your nmeubr doesn't appear on the caller id of the person you're calling. You will be safe  . Also you can try *67 before you dial any nmeubr and your nmeubr will be blocked so no body will now the nmeubr you're calling from.

same thing....i got the call....didnt return...went staight to the net to find out who it was or if the number has been flagged on this site..and sure enough...thanks guys for having our backs

I just got a call from this 213-325-3204 California telephone number, saying with an automated voice, that they were "Employment Select" and that they do employment verifications for a Company that will remain unnamed due to confidentiality, that I had already applied to. Likely story, I am actively looking for work right now. I applied to several Monster.com and other jobs yesterday. However, the so-called "Verification Specialist" never came on the line, and the telephone call eventually went dead. For Your Information - FYI - if you get troublesome telephone calls, you can <STAR>57 for a couple of dollars charge to your telephone bill, to record it with the authorities for later use, if you file a police report. Without Caller ID, you can also <STAR>69 to find out who called you, immediately after the call is made to you. Telemarketers are exempt, I think. You can also put your telephone number on Do Not Call - DNC - lists. However, if you call or apply for a job first, this does not apply, because you have established an ongoing business relationship with the caller, at least for the purposes of their initial call to you. Also, it takes telemarketers several weeks as an industry to process your Do Not Call request.

I recieved a call from this number just a moment ago.  I had applied for a position as an A/R Coordinator for a firm that was listed as confidential.  I really just wanted to learn more about the company and opportunities they had available.  

The phone call started with an automated message saying they were "Employment Select" and were calling to verify information on my resume as sort of a pre-screening for the position I applied for.  After waiting a moment a rep came on the phone and verified some info on my resume, nothing that I was worried about confirming to anyone. Just phone number, work status, etc.  

She did ask me if I was interested in furthering my education. They have some kind of set up with online universities where I assume they get a commission for signing people up.  I didn't get any additional details about it because I'm not interested in furthering my education unless the company I work for is willing to provide re-imbursement for it.

At that point, she said she had all of the information she needed and would send my info to the hiring company.  So at this point I'm undecided on weather it's just a company trying to sign people up for continuing education under false pretenses, or if they're legit.  If I hear from the supposed company looking to fill a position then I guess it's legit.  If not, I'd say it's still undetermined. But they didn't ask any questions that could be potential for ID theft or anything like that.

Employment Select has a blog type website at employmentselect.wordpress.com but I couldn't find a ton of info on the company.

Will post again if I hear anything back about a job.

I just got a call from this number. They stated they were doing an employment verification check. I was put on hold and a lady came on. I could clearly hear a call center environment in the background. I kept pressing them for details on who the company was that they wanted to verify me for. I was told Windy City (Cities) Careers - which of course there is not a listing for. I only applied for one job that was listed with a confidential company. Never again! Scam all the way. I was asked to verify some standard contact information including phone numbers and address, and asked the educational question as well. RUN DON'T WALK AWAY FROM THIS ONE.

i just got a call from this # and tried to call back twice, just got a busy signal.  Looked it up on-line n found your comments.
Thanks now I wont waste any more time.

I am pretty sure that you are all aware of that nobody has the right to get any information at all. First they need to identify themselves with name address and phone numbers, I just called the number and google it. Spoke to a Michael and he was telling me that he has some information from Monster.com when I send some applications, the entity to be blame is Monster.com too. They are now doing business with other entities so if you click any yes on their surveys you are screw. Honest the best way to get a job is the old fashio way NEWSPAPERS. I dont trust the internet anymore. Everybody is taking advantage of this

I had just received a call from this number as well for a courier position I had applied for. They asked me my current level of education as well and when I stated I was already in a school and just looking for a job, the call pretty much ended shortly after.

They've got my address, both physical and email, and my number.

What really bothered me was that they called my girlfriend's cellphone and not my home phone. I put my girlfriend down as a reference, I know I didn't put her number to be called when wanting to be contacted.

So I can assume I'll be on the look out for more calls from the same company some time soon.

Yup, me, too.  I got a call from this number, and they told me they were verifying information for a job I applied for at "Windy City Careers" which I had not heard of (nor did they have a website).  I thought it might be for a "blind" ad application, so I cautiously went through the process, which took about 2 minutes.  Is anyone really surprised that a scammer would try to take advantage of a job seeker??????  Don't be too vulnerable, people!  If an employer was interested in you, they will call you directly.  There is no need to "verify" information.  I should have known better......Good luck to all in your job search!

I received a call from a person claiming to be a representative of a "screening company" for a confidential employer.  I had put my resume on USA Jobs and the closing date was yesterday.  The only reason I answered was that the job closing date passed.  

The person informed me who he was and asked if I had applied for an administrative assistant position.  I made the mistake of saying yes and then he said that it would take 5 to 45 minutes to verify the information.  I said that I do not have that much time since I am at work.

He informed me that I could call back at any time at the number on my phone.

They said they wanted to do a 5-45 minute interview but I wasn't sure if it was legit or not

It's absolutely a telemarketing effort, verging on a scam. My wife applied to a few jobs on CareerBuilder.com and it would not accept her applications unless she clicked on "yes" to the question about whether she wanted information from Apollo College, the University of Phoenix and a couple of others. They have been hounding us with at least three calls per day for the past three weeks. We've asked them to take her name off their internal calling list, but that has done no good. Being on the "Do Not Call" list does not apply due to the fact that we now have a "business relationship" with them because of the careerbuilder.com contact.

That's right ~ you now have a "business relationship" with them....and ALL of their affilliates too. That's the reason for all this "brief" (5 mins.) to "in depth" (45 mins.) of verifying going on, it's worth a lot of $$$ to these people when they sell - uh oops - share...yeah share....your information with their "affilliates" <aka anyone who's willing to pay for it> and the more in depth (ie. what's your highest level of education? What courses would you consider in the future....) the information is the more money they get for sharing it with their business relationships - which, you are now one of.
Your phone will ring, and ring, and ring some more.
Maybe, just maybe, if the Feds or a State lay into them they'll submit a resume on someones behalf to Lockhead Martin.
There's big money in just your phone number folks. Especially for the phone company.

I also applied for jobs on Craigslist...This is some crazy scam....

I received a call this afternoon and this was the return number they gave me, listed below. The number that appeared on caller ID was from VOXBONE/NYC2 #212-601-9695. I was told that they were doing employment verification for a company called Invert Solutions. I did not remember applying to this company and my husband being in security has taught me to be cautious. I was not going to spend 25-45 minutes answering questions regarding personal information on a resume I don't remember sending, and after checking my sent items, I had not sent Invert Solutions anything. Checked VOXBONE, they are a provider of virtual phone numbers, they are untraceable. So heads up everyone, for those of us job hunting in this difficult economy we now have one more boogie man to look out for.

Thank you all for youyr experiences. I have received today the phone call on my cell, and they told that I can call them at any time after my work. First, I checked the number, and found out so many messages with explanations that I do not like.
Once again, thank you for your information.

No, what they do is not illegal. It's not fraud because they aren't soliciting money from you. They only get your cell phone number because they asked for it, and you gave it to them, with permission to call. Not to mention that just because you don't get interviewed for the job doesn't mean the job didn't exist. If your looking for work and send out a dozen applications your lucky to get one response back because they get a bunch of people that apply. So we can't even prove that they're asking for your information under false pretenses -- so a lawsuit won't do anything but waste yours and a lawyer's time. It sucks, but it's true. The law is actually on their side.

If they call, tell them your no longer interested. Tell them they can't call you again. When you get an email, report it to your ISP as spam and they'll block it before it even gets to you. That's all you can really do. Cut off their revenue stream so they go out of business.

Has anyone gain employment after getting screened by veriresume? Yes or no
Because I applied for a job that I wanted for a long time and was excited to get the call from veriresume.  They told me that I successfully completed the first phase of the verification process and that I will be receiving a call in about 5 days for a interview.  Its been 6 days already.

I thought this was a legit call because my wife just got hired at a great company that used a verification company called "hireright".
The main difference I notice between the two was the seriousness.  Because hireright had my wife faxing proof of work history and other documents. She got called for the interview and landed the best job of her life.

Is veriresume a legit company with bad habits or a scam?

I think it is against the law.  Lets call it using a telecommunications network for the purpose of commiting fraud and inflicting personal harrassment on innocent people. These calls also use you cell phone minutes as well and that's costing you money.

Well we all need to find out who this is and file a lawsuit against them.  First if an educational institution contacts you; demand that they tell you how they got your number and if they are affiliated with this number in any way. My time is valuable too and it is frustrating enough to be struggling and out of work then be harassed through false hope that finally you may have a chance to recover your life again with gainful employment.  They do this crap on Craigslist jobs too.

From Scam Researcher:

IF EVERYONE WHOULD GO TO WWW.RIPOFFREPORT.COM AND START A POST THERE.  THEY FOLLOW UP WITH THESE SO CALLED COMPANIES

If only that were true.Rip-Off-Report is about as useless as they come. All the guy who runs that does is allow people to put up their posts about being ripped off, and then charge the companies an exorbitant amount of money to have it pulled down as part of his "Corporate Advocacy Program." Other than that, he doesn't really care if you've been ripped off or not. He doesn't ask for your information to really be part of any class action lawsuits, he does it so when he's sued he can prove you're a real person rather than himself.

The reality is these guys calling you aren't breaking any laws. There's nothing you can do about them except not give them your business.

I received a call from this number a few days ago.  As I am currently looking for a job in another area, and had submitted multiple resumes, I figured that it was a response to a submission.  I was told that it was an automated recording from what seemed like an employment agency, and sat on hold for about five minutes.  The phone call disconnected before anyone spoke to me.  I attempted to call back three times (in the morning, afternoon, and evening). Each time I was on hold for a few minutes and was disconnected before anyone actually spoke to me.  I have not received any unsolicited phone calls since.

I recieved a call for 213-325-3204, didn't bother calling back based on information provided on this site.

Thanks

SCAM SCAM SCAM.  Don't listen to the posts from "VeriResume Employee" on this board; a REAL company would have their PR reps doing the damage control.  

I got a call from this number today.  I applied for a Non-Profit Coordinator job on either CareerBuilder or Hotjobs...and apparently, it was a scam.  They had me fill out some application info on jobspositionpro.com, and then two days later (today!) I got the call from 213-325-3204.  I spoke with Autumn, who wanted to "verify my personal info".  I went through with it, still not quite aware it was a scam until afterward.  I got an email from VeriResume immediately afterward, asking me to verify my information on their Web site.

I just posted a report on ripoffreport.com and hopefully it'll show up on the site soon.  

I called the number back and waited for "Autumn" to answer; I told her to purge my info from the system.  Autumn said she removed all of my information, and then ended the call.  It's now been two hours, and I'm going to dial back right now and give them my phone number to see if they still have my info....

1. Dialing...
2. Ringing...
3. "Employment Select provides screening services, blah blah etc...A Verification Specialist will be with you shortly..."
4. Jammin' to muzak...
5. "Mike" answers.  "Can I have your phone number please?" (I give it to him)
6. HE IMMEDIATELY HAS MY INFORMATION.

Even though I told "April" to delete it, "Mike" was able to pull up my name two hours later.  Don't trust these guys.  I told "Mike" to delete my information, and he told me that he could only "mark me as uninterested".  I told him again to delete all traces of my information, and he responded with "look, dear, I just work at a call center.  I can't do that."

DEAR!?!

Don't trust these guys.

I have been starting to look for a job because I plan on relocating so that my children can go to better schools.  Anywho, needless to say like many of you I have submitted my resume to many well known websites (i.e. Monster, hotjobs, careerbuilder), as well as a fellow craiglister (I check craigslist several times a day).  I came to this website because someone decided to post this website on craigslist talking about this scam.  
Like many of you I have applied to many of those ads, and received the email directing me to fill out an application (which asked the same information that is on my resume) and ask those questions.  I jumped through the hoops thinking that this is how they keep there website free.  Now that little voice in the back of my head was right.  Hats off to the person who put the alert out on craigslist.  Like many I do not take calls from unknown numbers.  I feel that these job sited should do more to protect us from these frauds and scams.  NOW TO THE EMPLOYEE WHY WHOULD YOU NEED TO VERIFY THIS INFORMATION FOR A 3RD(THRID) TIME.
FYI.  I have noticed on craigslist that on some of the postings that there seems to be some writing in the areas that was blank, so I selected all the text and noticed there is fine print on the majority of the ads directing you to another website.
I do feel that they should be sued, someone should check into a class action lawsuite.  I would love to know how many people that they so called varified actually got a job.  I would love to see anyone who received a call from these people and actually was hired to post.  
PLEASE GIVE US YOUR TESTIMONIAL.

I just got a call from these stupid people. Thanks to this site I didnt call back. For anyone on the fence about them, they said they were calling me to verify information about a job application I submitted online. Thing is, I haven't submitted any applications online. I am moderately happy where I am working, and only apply for jobs every blue moon. I only look for jobs every blue moon, or from word of mouth that someone is hiring. Most likely the last time I applied for a job was January 2008. Unsure if it was online, and like other posters here, they called my cell and gave no company name.
