Craigs List SCAM ALERT - olivia@hiringbranch.info - quickcreditchecks.info - Marty Wolfe - marty.boy23@gmail.com
OK Well here is the way this works on Craigs List. There is a listing for a fairly good paying office admin job. I send in resume. A couple of days later I get this message from "Olivia" giving me a glowing review of my credentials and asking me to confirm my phone number.
I ask myself why there is NO company information, NO last name for Olivia and NO telephone number.
Then....
A few moments later I get a second email from Olivia asking me to basically send her a copy of my credit report before I can have an interview. An she sends me the link to her site of choice.
So... with a little "WhoIS" research I find that "hiringbranch.info" and "quickcreditchecks.info" are newly registered domains by a person named "Marty Wolfe" in Florida. No company information and a gmail address.
So... the world is filled with so much crap and you constantly have to sift through truth and fiction, deception and unreality. Everyone has a angle. Nothing appears as it seems to be. It is easy to get cynical. There is truth.
Use caution. Watch out for this information and addresses. I've included the registration information for these people.

EMAIL #1
FROM: olivia@hiringbranch.info
Hi! Thanks for sending in your resume, and I must say it was quite impressive and it was a pleasure reading it. After reviewing the the other 21 applications that were received, your's by far was the most impressive. The work environment is great, and you will love the atmosphere as it is quite fun and enjoyable. I am willing to schedule you an interview if you would be interested. Please get back to me with your correct phone number (Just want to know if the one in the resume is correct) and time to call you and I will give you a call! Thanks, Olivia-----------------------------------
EMAIL #2
FROM: olivia@hiringbranch.info
Hey, sorry to bother you, but I just got off the phone with my manager. She told me to tell you that before I can call to schedule an interview you need to get your credit check. I really don't understand the meaning of it, but she is the boss and I can't give you a call without a check. I searched around and decided you need to get your credit check here:
http://quickcreditchecks.info
You can check your credit there for free, without hurting your score at all. Again I am really interested in you becoming part of our team over here. Please if you can, get back to me soon with the credit check and I will give you a call! Hopefully you can get it to be so I can call you first thing this afternoon. Thanks for understanding, Olivia
