JUST RECEIVED THIS EMAIL TODAY. I DID IN FACT REPLY TO A WALNUT CREEK CASHIER FULL TIME JOB
The email seemed odd to me because 1) When replying to the craigslist email, I already included cover letter and resume. He requested one in the first email. When I called he informed me that he would send another (from the same address) requesting an update resume. A total of 3 emails requesting my reply of an update resume. 2) When I called the number, he first off didnt speak clearly. Sounded middle eastern. I asked for the address of the store on walnut creek to come by and speak to someone. I didnt feel right providing the last 4 of SSN through email to someone I have not met or know. He didn't give me an address and instead explained that they have 4 stores in the walnut creek area. Right then I didn't feel right with this "job". 3) The email looked like a 5 year spaced it out. 4) I applied for a cashier, not a greeter and now what seems to be a sales associate job WTH? 5)Going to the site that the email was from, the site was suspended. Looking up the company got me no where. 6)The location says PA but the ip is TX
I've had fraud before happen to me and was out almost $2k. NEVER AGAIN. I saved the email to my scams folder and have not replied but I'm keeping the emails for further references if a friend or someone I know recieves emails from him.
Here is what the email consisted of.
