They called to inform "Your resume has been received and schedule an interview appointment press 1,bla...". After press 1, then ask for personal information like "Your name...". That's so weird. Then I hanged up. Cannot believe that a company will schedule an interview even without knowing the name. How to stop being called by such numbers?

I use google voice which has a nifty feature. All voicemail messages are transcribed to text and then sent to me email address. This is exactly the message that was left when 877-519-1802 called me:
"Your resume has been received by our company and we believe you have the skills and abilities to be successful. We're hiring and would like to discuss the possibility of scheduling an interview with you this week to schedule an interview call us at 1(877) 519-1802. Have a great day."
I was immediately suspicious of someone who would leave such a message but not identify the company or even what type of business they are. I'm still researching it on the net, but I would advise everyone to not call them back or provide them with your personal info. This thing screams scam all the way.

yeah i received this call and have no idea who it is. so weird i definitely would not call this number back. I am pretty sure i have gotten this call a couple of times. they just prey on people who are looking for a job.
| Darla6758 2011-06-06 21:04:29 Unknown |
Why would someone be calling about a job interview that doesn't have a company name on the answering service? Why would someone try to scam you when you are looking for a job and leading you to believe that they are genuine? This should be against the law as wire tampering or something.
| PMH 2010-07-01 23:41:33 Unknown |
I also received a call from this # and they left no name. I did not call it back because I could tell it was a scam and I did not want them to get any information from me..please shut these people down before they mess with peoples identity..
| WW 2010-06-29 18:13:21 Unknown |
i hope they do call again and I get the call - that way I can get the information to try to stick it to these scum sucking bottom dwellers!
| WW 2010-06-29 18:11:57 Unknown |
I received a voice mail from this number. After trying to get through, I decided to search the net on it and found this site. it was rather funny they did not leave a company name, but it just didn't click right off. i don't understand what is so difficult about shutting these folks down. after all, it is obviously a scam, and the FCC should be able to pin felony interstate fraud on them. There has to be an owner of this number, with an associated credit card and/or bank account. The bills have to be paid from somewhere. And anyone associated with a number such as this would be guilty of interstate fraud. Hey, it is not rocket science! I should now, I am a rocket scientist. If no effort is being made to stop this type of thing, when it should be easy to trace the money back to its origins, means there must be some type of collusion with the government.
| Blade 2010-06-29 00:02:07 Unknown |
Got call from this number and was not home they left message to call back as they wanted to schedule interview to discuss job opening. Upon arriving home I called back got machine saying all operators busy someone would get back with me if I leave my name and number I did not leave etiher.
| hopeful guy in tx 2010-06-23 01:03:18 Unknown |
Hey Ya all I just got the phone call too and same crap you call it back and everyones busy leave a message. Typical line of crap like most telemarketers and prank calls
| DirtDiver 2010-06-18 22:52:24 Unknown |
This number is crap!!! Just got called...
| veromango 2010-06-16 23:02:05 Unknown |
Ha! I just got the call! I was hoping that it was from the hospital that I had applied at a few days ago, but they never said their name. I was going to answer it, but then I realized "who would call at 5:45?" Hopefully, they won't call again.

Articles on the internet about EMPLOYMENT SCAMS
Identity Thieves Prowling for Job Seekers
Fake job ads up 345% as recession creates opportunities for scam artists
http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2009/03/job_scams.html
March 9, 2009
With the unemployment rate rising and living costs going up, more people are looking for new jobs or second jobs. These are ideal conditions, it turns out, if youâ??re an identity thief.
Job seekers will register with employment agencies, check employment ads, mail out unsolicited resumes, network, post resumes on job search sites and search Craigslist.
In fact, the UK Association for Payment Clearing Services which tracks the prevalence of fake job ads said that fake ads are up 345 percent over the past three years. Unfortunately identity thieves are taking advantage of these uncertain economic times to scam job seekers and gather personal identifying information.
The Identity Theft Resource Center offers these tips:
? Protect your Social Security Number by limiting how many people see it. Never put your SSN on a resume. Let a company ask for it when they consider you a serious applicant. To minimize your risk, you also may want to not list your home address and just put your city and state on the resume.
? Consider opening a separate email account for your job search and keeping your primary email address private. Placing your email address on a resume could open the door to spam and phishing, account verification, and other email scams. (The recent Monster.com breach exposed resumes and email addresses. If you had placed your Social Security number or home email address on your resume, you could have made yourself a target.)
? Check out a company you found on a website carefully before giving them your information, for example Craigâ??s List. Anyone can create a website, but it doesnâ??t mean that they are a real company. You can find information on a company through the Better Business Bureau or the State Attorney General where the company is located. You can also Google the business to find out more about them. Most reputable companies will have a significant presence on the Internet, not just a few mentions.
? Avoid any website that requires you to â??pre-registerâ? with your SSN, home address or driverâ??s license number. Also, you should not be required to prepay to view job listings. Both these requirements are strong indicators of a scam.
? Update your computer security prior to emailing resumes and receiving email correspondence. Making sure your computer security is currently updated against viruses, Trojans, and other types of computer malware can help to protect you from any intrusion in an attachment you might receive.
? Make sure the person who contacted you actually works at the listed company and is not someone who has posted a job pretending to be part of a company. Does the URL address include the name of the company? If not, who actually sent it? Call the company involved, and ask for the Human Resources Department. Some companies recommend not responding via email to any person asking for more information, but rather to call the company directly. Rarely does a company hire someone sight unseen.
? Be wary of some common job scams. Avoid any company, especially a foreign company that wants to hire you as a â??payment representative â??orâ? accounts receivable clerk.â? This scam indicates that you get to keep a percentage of all checks or money orders you place in a bank account for them. Do not open a bank account for a company. You will be the responsible party should any money laundering occur, or if checks bounce. This is called a â??money mule scam.â?
Another scam is to notify you that you are one of the finalists for a job, and they need your Social Security number to do a background check. If you have not had a face-to-face interview with the company, you should be very skeptical. No one gets a job based on a resume alone.
Finally, watch out for the â??work-at homeâ? scams, especially those that ask you to â??forwardâ? packages you receive to a third party. That package may contain stolen goods or illegal drugs. There is rarely need to have a private party as a â??freight forwarder.â?
The safest ways to job search are to use local want ads, visit the unemployment office, use temp employment services, tell friends and family about your search, and network via professional groups and business acquaintances. When contacting a local company you can meet them, see the facilities, and ask acquaintances in that industry about their reputation. Consider not contacting foreign companies, especially those from Nigeria, Russia and third world countries.
Should you decide to use the Internet, ITRC strongly recommends that you read the safety tips on job seeking websites and report any suspicious posting to the website concerned.

Florida Probes Eight Firms For Alleged Employment Scams
Suspected of exploiting desperate job-seekers
February 17, 2010
The ads make it sound easy; let the advertised firm train and place you in a new job, or set you up in a work-at-home business that will triple your income. It hardly ever works out that way, however.
Now, the State of Florida has issued subpoenas to eight firms suspected of running employment or work-at-home scams.
"Unemployed Floridians are particularly vulnerable to scams that falsely promise quick fixes for people who are jobless," said Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum. "With the unemployment rate in Florida at record highs, we need to be vigilant in our efforts against people looking to capitalize on someone else's difficulties."
One of the firms receiving a subpoena is Career Services International, based in Orlando. McCollum's office is investigating allegations that the company misrepresents available services and collects fees for those services, but fails to provide them. Consumers have complained that the quality of service was not what the company had promised and indicated problems with missed deadlines, untrained employees, and lack of advertised expertise.
Federal-State Crackdown
The subpoena is one of a series issued over the past several months targeting employment scams and was announced today to highlight the office's joint enforcement effort with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)and several other states. Seven other Florida companies have also received subpoenas investigating potential violations of Florida's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. Allegations include misleading or deceptive marketing of work-from-home opportunities as well as job placement services and other Internet business ventures.
The other firms under investigation include:
? Coretech Media LLC, doing business as Netcadetpro.com and Net Money Training, located in St. Petersburg; Investigation of unfair and deceptive trade practices related to home business opportunity kits advertised over the internet
? Darling Angel Pin Creations, Inc., located in Brandon; Investigation of unfair and deceptive trade practices involving work at home job opportunity
? GC Displays, Inc., doing business as Atlanticpacificonline.com, located in Clearwater; Investigation of unfair and deceptive trade practices involving job placement services
? Home Biz Ventures, LLC, doing business as Bidfuel.com and Blogtoolkit.com, located in Clearwater; Investigation of unfair and deceptive trade practices involving internet business opportunity which offers on-line membership access to training and products to sell on auction sites
? My Career Corp., Inc., located in Tampa; Investigation of unfair and deceptive trade practices involving job placement services
? Pacific Webworks, Inc., located in Salt Lake City, Utah; Investigation of unfair and deceptive trade practices involving work from home opportunities
? Viable Marketing Corp., located in Seminole; Unauthorized recurring charges associated with negative option "work at home" internet business opportunity
McCollum says consumers should be wary of any company offering employment positions that require little or no education but claim to pay high wages, companies that charge an up-front fee for their services or products, companies that offer "memberships" to internet-based employment opportunities, and any other opportunity that sounds too good to be true.

FTC Cracks Down on Jobs Con Artists
Scams prey on Americans left jobless by the recession
By James Limbach
ConsumerAffairs.com
February 18, 2010
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has launched a new crackdown on con artists who are preying on unemployed Americans.
The fraudsters utilize job-placement and work-at-home scams, promoting empty promises that they can help people get jobs in the federal government, as movie extras, or as mystery shoppers; or make money working from their homes stuffing envelopes or assembling ornaments.
As part of the law enforcement sweep, dubbed "Operation Bottom Dollar," the FTC has filed seven cases against the operators of deceptive and illegal job and moneymaking scams. In addition, the sweep includes 43 criminal actions by the Department of Justice, many involving the substantial assistance of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
The agency also announced partnerships with the online job placement service Monster.com, the search engine Bing and the centralized network of online communities Craigslist to help job seekers recognize job scams so they can avoid being victimized. Monster, Careerbuilder, Bing and Craigslist will display FTC consumer education material to people who are using the companies' Web sites to look for jobs.
"Federal and state law enforcement officials will not tolerate those who take advantage of consumers in times of economic misfortune," said David C. Vladeck, Director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. "If you falsely advertise that you will connect people with jobs or with opportunities for them to make money working from home, we will shut you down. We will give your assets to the people you scammed, and, when it's appropriate, we'll refer you to criminal authorities for prosecution."
To help consumers avoid being conned by employment scams, the FTC has produced a new consumer education video in English and Spanish.

| TexasGirl 2010-06-08 16:06:26 Unknown |
I was puzzled about an automated call concerning a job offer. I called the number back and got a recorded woman saying that all customer service representatives are helping other customers at this time, put on hold, soothing music, and a repeated message. She then asked me to leave a message but I didn't... I got to this particular webside because I was extremely curious as to who belongs to this phone number... and this is what I see! I am very upset about this situation! I am looking for a legal, respectable job NOT some jerk(s) trying to screw with me!!!!!
| TexasBoy 2010-06-08 12:46:06 Unknown |
Yep, oddly enough they don't reveal their name! That sent a signal to me when they called and left a message but I don't think its anything but trouble.
| RCP James 2010-06-08 00:58:51 Unknown |
They said they received an job application and wanted to discuss the prospect of working with their company, they did however refer to the call as a customer service call, when I did call only to be put on hold with music in the background, then I was asked provide my name ( I wish I had not done that due to the identity so rampant) nonetheless I left my name and was put on hold again, then I was told that the person (unknown person) that I was trying to reach was not available and to leave a message. This time I left no message. Strange call.
