Text message that there is problem with my cr dit card account. Did not say WHAT credit card.

I picked up and put right on mute as this will sometimes trick automated callers to think a number is bad.  No one on line so must have worked.

Work/Save/Retire now comes up as CPR MyCareer.  Same crap just a different name.

BEWARE!!

hey, i just got off the phone with these people.  the woman said her name was teresa (which i had to ask for because she did not offer it voluntarily).  she called from 877-651-9478.  everything everyone is saying in the below posts is absolutely true.  it didn't feel right to me when i was talking to the woman so i decided to check them out when i got off the phone.  this is a total scam.  they said they were going to send a representative to my house in the next couple of days.  any suggestions on how to stop this from happening and/or what to do if or when they show up?  please advise.

Who the heck is "Worksaver Tire"?

I too have received several calls fromWorkSaveRetire. Caller ID showed a local number and since I am actively looking for a job, I was hoping it was a call back for an interview. I got their email but didn't download anything until I did some research and found this blog.  Maybe when they heard I've been out of work for 2.5 years they realized I'd have little savings anymore! Legit or not, they are acting in ways that make people suspicious, and that's enough reason for me to steer clear of them!

If this fraudlant outfit now goes by the name WorkSaveRetire;

Let me assure all here that this company is, in fact, a SCAM. They are NOT recruiters!

Here is the deal: These folks use their "career services" as a front in order to get a financial product salesperson in their "clients" front door to pitch them various annuity plans.  In order to access their "career tools", you must agree to this meeting.

What does a job seeker get in return?: A thirty minute webinar,  access to a very limited board of job postings, and some additional tools and "services" that are very generic and generally available elsewhere. One month later, and after my annuity sales meeting, I am still waiting for a phone call and my personalized job referrals. I won't hold my breath.

This outfit is a joke that takes advantage of today's lousy employment environment to sell their products. This is a sales company NOT a career service. Don't waste your time with Heather and her crew.

I will be rolling-over my wife's 401K into an IRA next month, probably into an indexed annuity, and I can assure you that this $140K will not go into one of this company's products.

I will be filing a complaint with the BBB in the morning.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Got a call this morning from some guy said he was from Work, Save and Retire.  The number on my screen was 773-799-9163.  In the middle of his schpiel, I stopped him and said:  "if this is going to cost me one penny, aside from my cell minutes, you are wasting your time".  He said, no it was all paid for by a government fund.  I said "go ahead, then."  He said he saw my resume on a webpage and wanted to know if I was still looking for work.  I said I was freelancing (true) and whatever he had better be a great job with fantastic benefits and better pay.  He abruptly said:  "I don't think this is going to be a fit."  Before he got the last word out I said:  "you are right" and immediately hung up.

1.  I thought it was one of those self-serving recruiters that set some crazy bar everyone one jump over before they will budge a finger - and even then, they are not very nice (99.9% of them:  this mean YOU if you are a recruiter).  So, I was just taking a swipe for all the hapless unemployed that have had ridiculousness head-hunters having others jump through hoops they could never accomplish.

2.  Then, on second thought, I felt I should check the number and voila!  He is twice the idiot - an unemployed, scamming, headhunter.

This one is for all you unemployed people out there who feel put upon by 25 year old headhunters just in it for the money:  "one idiot got back-handed by phone today!"

Here's my story. I got a call from these folks today and answered it. Had an OK conversation with someone who claimed to be a former elementary school teacher and she sounded like it. But, hey she's working so what do I care how chipper she sounds. She asked me some questions; I told her I was currently working but my contract would expire in a few months. She asked if it would be OK for a recruiter to call me and I said OK. I missed the call because I was in a work meeting but she sent me an email. In the email there was a "reminder" about a meeting I had with someone in two days. So I called back and I felt they were too pushy - red flag #1. I said that a "reminder" indicated I had agreed to a meeting and knew about it. I didn't. She kept pushing me to meet this week and I said I couldn't but maybe I could meet in a few weeks. No, no that's too far out for them; needs to be right now. So I said something like you called me; I didn't call you. Why don't I call YOU back when I'm ready to look for work. The whole thing gave me a bad feeling so I looked them up and found this site. I can't say if they're good or bad but it seems like they have an agenda and finding me a job might not be their real plan.

Have received 2 voice mail messages from Kevin in past 23 hours...same as everyone else.  He saw my resume and had some questions for me.  Unable to understand the company name...sounded like 'Work Saver Tire'.  He was calling from a landline in Collin County...Plano, Allen, Frisco area of TX, per caller ID: 972-649-0677.  He asked me to call 855-866-5768.  I won't be calling him....thanks for the info.

how interesting!
Yesterday I received a call from Kevin with Work, Save, Retire...phone 855-866-5768.
Had another vmail today from him & when I called back, I spoke to Alan.  Alan said they do the same thing & proceeded to give me the "hook" as I've read in several postings here.
- no fee to me
- free resume software
- free job search software
- according to Alan, 80% of jobs are NOT posted on normal job boards(like Monster & Careerbuilder) but ARE posted on company websites.  Their software accesses thousands of companies in your area which saves you lots of time scouring the web for opportunities.
- 2 step process with the first being a phone call from a recruiter to discuss opportunities they have found for me, then a one time, face to face meeting with their financial consultant.  I was told Jim Roller(not sure of spelling) would be in my area next week.
- was ask similar questions about salary expectations & 401k value.  plus was ask if in my next job I would be interested in having 401k and benefits....hmmmm, ya think?!

first instinct was too-good-to-be-true!!  After reading all these posts, I have to agree.
When I searched for the company, I found several different websites for work,save,retire which all had the same basic message but no other information.  Seems odd that a company would have so many different websites!
worksaveretire.ning.com
worksaveretire.org
worksaveretire.net

I would steer clear of this!

As soon as I heard 855 area code, I immediately went to internet and found all your posts about. It's the same person who called me named "Kevin." Have you contacted CareerBuilder about this?

I also got one of these calls, made no sense why a tire company would be calling me, guy left the name Kevin and gave the 855# while callerID said 773-799-9163.  I was afraid it was one of those scams with some overseas number where they charge thousands of dollars for one minute and then you have a hard time getting it off your cell phone bill. IT SUCKS TO BE LOOKING FOR A JOB, AND I HOPE THESE SCAMMERS GET WHAT THEY DESERVE.

Today I got one from "Kevin" of "WorkSaver Tire" with 773-799-9163 on the caller id. Message said he had a question about my resume, which was posted a few days ago at Careerbuilder, so I am headed over there to complain too.

-also got a call from kevin number came up at 773-799-9163 had questions on my resume. people interested in you for a possible interview wont leave a message with questions regarding your resume there usually calling to set up an interview or they wouldnt waist there time calling , i just blocked the number

My biggest complaint for Monster and for Carreer Builder is that they have become marketing tools for company who want to solicate sales people. there is nothing in my resume that would indicate i would be interested in a sales job. i get a few calls a week and and about 10-12 emails a week advising of great opportunitys selling life insurance or you name it

I received the same call, I want to report....

I got the same message as many people before me, Kevin from Work Saver Tire with questions about my resume. I did not call back thank you in part to all messages posted. Always search for the company before calling any job recruiters, unless you are working with someone locally looking for a job.

I just received the same call from Kevin.  Like a fool I returned the call and left a message asking them to call me again.  ha ha... i did that before reading this email string.  Fortunately I do have an "ignore" button on my cell.  Thanks for the heads up.  BTW, what a stupid company name.  I should have known better...

Got a call and message from "Kevin" with work saver tire. Never heard of them, nor applied to a tire company. Called from: 864-932-4109 and left same message everybody got to return his call at 855-866-5768. Thanks for the info everybody! Did a white page reverse look up and says the 864 number is a cell phone in Anderson, SC area. No I did not call back

Received a call from Kevin. Listened to message. Reserched and found this thread. Thanks.

Got a call from these people today.  Same story as everyone else.  I told her I would not meet with the financial guy because I already have one.  She is still going to have a recruiter call me in a few days.

Sounds like a scam to me.  I wonder if the software they give you to download has something that will mine your computer for financial information.

No other recruiter that I know of wants to make you meet with a financial person about your 401k.  I won't meet with them or download the software, and I suggest you do the same.

Thanks for the info.  Kevin called me today after I posted my resume on monster and careerbuilder last week.  I couldn't understand him either and thought it was "work, save a tire"  Glad to know it is a scam so I don't waste my time calling back.

I was so excited when I got a voice message from Kevin asking me to return his call at 855-866-5768.  I called the number that showed up on my caller ID (773-799-9163). Of course Kevin was not available-- the person that answered said he was a recruiter and that he would get back to me. It's hard enough looking for a job, but it's even harder trying not to be taken advantage of by scams and people who deliberately misrepresent who they are. Beware!

Actually I think it is Work Save or Retire.  I am blocking their number.  Thanks for the info.

Got one of these calls/voice mails as well. He definatly said Work Saver Tire. And just another telemarketing scam. Glad I too looked on line first. Not calling them back, and will report them as well.

That message was what I received on my home phone   ......

This is Kevin from Work Save Retire, I had some questions about your resume that was posted on Career Buliders website. Give me a call back tol free at 855-866-5768. (Repeated)

Same as the others...Kevin called, lft VM requesting return call to 855-866-5768. Thank you everyone for the input and help avoiding the pain of the work / save / retire (worksaver tire as they pronouce it on VM) scam as I too search for a job.

Just received a call from Kevin at Work Saver Tire. Yeah it sounded automated and the call back number (855-866-5768) did not match the incoming call number (920-266-4197).

I work in the computer industry and have never worked in the automotive industry. Weird. Seems like a scam to me.
