Another Scam Alert
Good morning all, I am posting yet another post from ZipRecruiter.com that I believe most assuredly is a scam. Below is the ad:

All Jobs at PolyOne Corporation
Now, what made me suspicious was:
The position title is broad. Notice they claim "Administrative Assistant - Office Assistant / Customer Service.
They list the salary as $87,000 yearly plus commission. Now, "commission" would indicate working, at least in part, doing sales yet nowhere in the job description is sales mentioned.
The use of Quickbooks as the accounting software they claim to use. Now, I have nothing against Quickbooks, in fact, I've used it myself, however, PolyOne is a major, multinational publicly traded corporation that would not be using Quickbooks simply due to their size.
Now, notice at the bottom of the ad is a link for "All Jobs at PolyOne Corporation." I clicked the link and there are in fact 20 ads posted on ZipRecruiter for the EXACT same position with the EXACT same job description for employment in different cities all over the country. Please, folks, protect yourselves. Do as much research as you can before applying for a position. I went on to the REAL PolyOne Corps website and checked their career portal. NONE of these so called positions are listed.

Awesome detective work, Scott! Thank you so much for sharing with the community!
Hello job case friends,
I, unfortunately have been a target for thsee fraudulent job posts or answers to a resume to many times Mostly through ZipRecruiter.
While ZipRecruiter is a well recognized, trusted and one of the top jobboards, we have to practice due diligence when it comes to these "scum!" I have been very "let down and disappointed" when getting the fraudulent posts in return for my resume and trust.
However, ZipRecruiter has sent me an email address to send these fraudulent posts directly to. trustandsafety@ziprecruiter.com
Goodluck and let's watch each other's backs!
