PSA: Job Scam - SEEMS legit b/c they use CareerBuilder.com but be warned...Copy of email I received in post...
I got this email today via the job site CareerBuilder.com.
It's totally a scam (you must have an existing bank account to get this job  ) but b/c it's coming from careerbuilder I could see how someone just MIGHT think it's legit which is why I'm sharing this...
Here's the email:

******************************
It was totally a careerbuilder email so I'm guessing the scam artists are using an account as a legit company looking to scam people.

The poor wording and grammar alone would raise a red flag with me.
Nothing to sale.
Yeah, OK

It's not so much that they're fake jobs, it's that it's a scam.
They want your bank account info b/c they're going to take your money.
It's like those email scams...KWIM?

OH-Yes, in this instance, its a scam, yes.
But I was also talking about posting fake jobs too-not even asking for your money or bank account info, etc. I've come across so many fake jobs.

I got this email when I first put my resume on careerbuilder. I thought to myself "Oh I am so glad my PhD qualifies me to launder money for you." A bit fishy that you'd have to use your OWN bank account.
