I received the same email a few days ago. I feel absolutely idiotic because I actually filled it out without researching. I'd already applied at JCP about a month beforehand and just thought it was them getting back to me after so long. He already had my name, email, address, phone number, etc already attached to the bottom of the email. I figured that he couldn't have all that if he didn't actually see a job application of mine.

I have been looking for a job for a long time and really thought that this was a legit offer. I am angry at being tricked and terrified of what he's going to do with the information that he has. Which, truthfully, isn't much different from what he already.  

I only realized he was a fake after his email changed from @jcpenney.com to @aol.com. Better late than never, I guess.

The scam has hit here in Tucson, Arizona, where I confirmed that there is no "Robert Dewitt" at Penneys.  Trying to get Penneys to disassociate themselves from this.  Called the 888 number on Skype and got an answer "HR Department, please hold .... music .... music .... music .... sorry all lines are busy, please call back."  Busy, yeah!  Busy stealing our money!

The same thing happened to me only via email! I unfortunately opened the attached application through Gmail on my phone...everything seems fine but I want to delete it! Here is the information that I was sent.
Thank goodness I found this info!

lol same s***

I got an email from this joker in June....told him I was attending medical school and was not looking for work.  I walked into a JCP here in Denver and no one has ever heard of this jerk as being affiliated with the store at all.   And funny thing, he said the store was in Ohio; well dude I'm in Denver, that's a long commute isn't it?  Two words for this fool and I bet you know what they are.

GREAT! I knew it was too good to be true!

Fake J.C. Penney gift-wrapping job offer not just one scam -- it's two: Plain Dealing



It's finally clear how the J.C. Penney gift-wrapping job scam works. It's a combination identity theft and reshipping scam.
The fraud starts with an email that appears to be from Penney's, offering people full- and part-time gift wrapping work at $8 to $10 an hour.
A New York woman who answered the email reports that she received small items ? including cameras -- to gift wrap and then send abroad.
That's a classic red flag for a reshipping scam -- which scammers use to get stolen merchandise sent overseas.
The victim discovered the scam when a retailer called her to check on merchandise she allegedly ordered on her American Express card ? an account she never opened.
She suspects the scammers got her Social Security number off the job application and used it to open the credit line so they could order merchandise without paying for it.
U.S. companies stung by fraudulent orders often refuse to ship merchandise such as small electronics overseas. Foreign scammers skirt the rules by finding people inside the U.S. to accept the shipments and then forward packages abroad. They often lure victims by offering them "quality control" jobs for which they usually are never paid.
The gift-wrapping job offer appears to be a holiday twist on the scheme -- and it gives scammers a way to victimize people twice over.
The fraudulent email says, in part, "If you are looking for that 'perfect fit' career with a company that values your individuality and talents, offers clear career paths and provides opportunities for personal development - you have found it," the email proclaims. The wording is stolen from Penney's real careers page.
The email contains an attached application with the J.C. Penney logo. The sender is identified as "Robert Meisner," allegedly an HR manager.
J.C. Penney has said Meisner isn't an employee -- and its stores don't offer gift wrapping.

Received the email today. Considering the store number is in Hawaii and I live no where close to Hawaii. I figured it was a scam.

Yeah...I received this. Different number, different name, same email. I knew I hadn't applied for this, b/c, seriously? I can't wrap a gift to save my life! I'm dyspraxic and can barely button a shirt! hahaha
I, too, called the number and it told me to hold for hr, but I hung up b/c that seemed a little too generic.

I received a similar email. My gut told me that it was spam because I'm located in New England, and nothing in my resume, which hasn't been posted online or distributed in over 4 years, indicates that I would be any good as a gift wrapper. I'm curious about how they found my e-mail. I'm really sorry to hear that this has caused people frustration and wasted time.

Signed George Wolfe, HR Manager, J. C. Penney Company, Inc.  6501 Legacy Dr, Plano, TX 75024

A George Wolfe offered my the position of an Associate Gift Wrapper, and that he had read my resume.

I understand how you feel Susan, I had applied for JC Penny back on December...and then I got the same  e-mail that you got...and I tought it was truth so I replied back asking some questions about the job...all I got as response was the application to fill out. Right there I got a bad feeling so I googled the "HR" guy name: Kevin Merriam...and surprise surprise!!! I got all these scams reports!!!

So glad I took the time to hear my gut's voice, before those M* F*'s got my info

I got the same email:

"Susan,

And then - the same jamoke sent me an application to complete.  

I TRIED to report this the JCPenny Corporate Security - but was directed to a dead number.  

Who are these people? Doesn't he understand I am a very pissed off and frustrated out of work person - with ALOT of time on my hands with the inclination to hunt his a*s down?

I receive the very same e-mail you received.  Thank you for he post.

Got a message:

Yep, got the same email a few days ago.  At first I thought it was legit, since it came from a jcpenney email domain.  However, when the application was sent to me, it came from an AOL account.  Called the # and all it said was "thank you for calling the HR Dept. please hold for a representative."
