Job scams
Is this a careerbuilder site? I had applied to like 13 jobs or something at 1 time. I started getting respones from what i thought was employers through text messaging. So this company had me to download a app called telegram. I did and done an interview. They hired me and the next moring i had a fed ex package. It was from them and it was a check for almost 5000.00. Then they wanted me to deposit it into my bank account. I called the bank on the check and it was a comprised account. I could have been in alot of trouble for this. So im not to sure about using careerbuilders site. Im trying to get a second job not go to jail. #scams

Email scams?
I'm looking for work in a small-ish Georgia town and I keep getting tons of emails from job promotion websites or services and some of them say "2nd Notice You have been accepted to ... Schedule your interview?" But I don't know what the job is and I do not remember applying to so many unspecific ones, and the email just gives me a link and honestly I don't even open the link because I've been taught not to trust stuff like that- what do I do??? #advice #interview #scams #followup #jobsearch #wordsofadvice # #

Yes it is annoying as hell I keep reporting and blocking but they just keep coming ugg

Also, if your email is included with your resume in a job search database but they refuse to email you from an official account. I've had several of these scams attempted on me.
