I received the same E-mail. As soon as the person( no name just Accu corp) said they REQUIRE my credit report I knew this was not a good thing. I tried to find the company on the internet and came up with this site. THANK YOU to every one who posted their experience to help others. We are all so anxious to find a job we must not let our guard down.

This is the email I received.

Hi all,  I got the same message that you all did this morning from a Craigslisting post!  I am so happy to have found this thread so as not to have wasted my time with them, not to mention possibly something seriously worse.  Red flags totally went up with the mention of filling out credit information.  Good job guys and best wishes in your job searches.

I RECEIVED THIS EMAIL TOO AND I TOO AM GLAD THAT I FOUND THIS SITE WITH ALL THIS FEEBACK ABOUT THIS WIERD EMAIL. THANK YOU ALL!

I also received the same email and like many of you thought it was suspicious so I of course had to do a search and ended up here. :)
Thank you all for posting this info an confirming my suspicion.

I wish we could arrest these scammers. It's just ridiculous that they are even allowed to do this sort of thing. We are honest people searching for honest legitimate jobs and these people have to ruin that for us and make us leery of even putting our information out in the first place.

I wish everyone the best of luck.

mee to got this email,,,,can anyone guide wats this case. thank you

I think you just brought up some interesting and similar to email i received and i think it's for a job that i apply/contact via craig list [i think].

i did not realize it's from them -- due to i do not remember that craig list have their company name on the craig list.

i hope craig list will catch them and block them from post on craig list again.  plus catch and block other scammers too.

it's rediculous [spell?] and terrible that they take advantage of people at their weakness and weak stage.

they put my first name and no last name and no title.  When I took classes at my college -- the way they do this is non-professional or something like that.

I do not like when people scam people when they are volunable [spell?], weak, ... .  This Data Gateway is an example of it -- I think.  It's really unfortunate--to say it gently.

I am so glad that I found this message board.  I have a some kind of feeling.  This board assure me that may be it is a scam or something like that.  thank you to you all.

Heres my message: but now they are using a different phone #

=====================
EXACT SAME EMAIL.
I'M TAKING A PASS.
=====================

They are stating that they wanted to Interview me, but I had to fill out a credit report first and then send them the confirmation numbers.

It was from a Marque Priddy.
Supposedly they want to Interview me tomorrow at 10:00 am
Both receptionists said all personnel works remotely and they were all Asian decent which could hardly understand what I was saying.

However, I was able to bring up a web site tonight but not during the day.
They referred me to the Free Credit Report site etc.

Here is part of the e-mails that were sent:

I gave them the confirmation number but not a valid credit card.

I received the same email with "Hey".  Pretty unprofessional.  I am really getting mad about these scams when you are trying to search for a job.  Sad statement.

I got it too! They didn't even use my first name.. it just said, "Hey ********" (with my last name in place of asterisks...

In response to a Craigslist job listing I replied to on 2-Oct-2009.  I made the call but while I was waiting for "the next available operator" (this should have been a clue) I put the following words in my search engine: Data Gateway Scam and was lead to this site.  As soon as I saw these posts I hung up and searched for the original ad to report it.  The job listing has already been pulled.

Thank you all for posting this, it is clearly a scam.

Happy Job Hunting,

Still Desperate

I got the same email except using phone number (888) 820-1933.

Yup, i got the exact same email message too, in response to my reply to a Craiglist job listing.

It was clearly too sketchy of an email to have been sent by any legit HR dept.

Thanks for confirming what I already suspected.

Steer clear.

I also received the same email today.....I haven't called....busy digging up any information and if they are ligit.

I'm sure that everyone else here that received this email is sure to have this same message at the very bottom of their email:
(I noticed in the reply above that the address is similar but different)
READS:
""This message was sent from Data Gateway to ******.*****@mchsi.com. It was sent from: Erik Amistead, 4000 Main Street, South Bend, IN 46601. You can modify/update your subscription via the link below.""

No company came up under this address either...uummmm! I wonder how many people are going to get trapped or sucked in....if this is a scam.....There sure are alot of people out there desparate for a job.

I got the EXACT same email as the one listed above. The website looks extremely sketchy, and based on the other posts here, I definitely think this is a phishing scam. No thanks!!!! Especially since they ask for your credit card information?!? Hello!!!!  Such a scam!!!

I received the same message and I called back today( Oct 26, 2009). They set me an interview time and send me the link to fill out before the interview. But, it's so funny it asks me my ssn and credit card number...

Take care guys!!!!

looks very fishy. I think it's a scam. What kind of professional (especially from HR) doesn't include a name with the e-mail?

I received the same email?word for word. I never applied for a job with them, never sent them a resume.
