Can You Spot The Deceit?

This company sends me an email every week with an opportunity to interview for an account manager position.

They claim to have reviewed my resume on Monster and believe I have the skills necessary to perform the work.

What they don't seem to know is that I had interviewed with this same company last year for a training manager position that turned out to be a life insurance sales position that is strictly commission.

Look at the job description. Can you see any red flags?

(I will reply with the answers in a bit. I just want to help some folks learn to scrutinize job ads and interview requests in the process.)

Just got this same email from King5agency not five minutes ago! So glad I did a little research before responding to it. I'll just delete it and go on my merry way. Thanks so much for letting everyone know it's a scam!!

Yeah I responded to a job position on Craigslist Tulsa for Enrollment Specialist, Which they responded quickly, And asked if I can meet with Mr Young which I also did my homework, Which I found the negative reviews, Along with what the company really is which is saving me money for gas & childcare for my baby which I'd be out going to this bs interview/position which is commission only crap.

Various people often answer in various emails in various ways. Sometimes deceitful person will address you to seek what kind of person you are by sending information just to throw you off. You must maintain your focus and be understanding, vigilant to perceive what thoughts what comes oneself may make feel belittle if he or she doesn’t want you know what job you like to have in your future. Deceiving people masked their actions precisely using words; but, the thought that could count is when you talk person to person or over the phone.

I received the same one as Christine, called the number and it was to "Google Subscriber". Scams come in all varieties.
