Hello:
I replied to a job post on Craigslist for an Administrative Assistant position and I sent my resume and cover letter. My resume contained my contact information (i.e. name, address, phone number, and email). I noticed once I received an email back that it was a scam. However, since the person has my resume, I'm worried that they will use my information on it, should I be worried about this because I am worrying about it now.
Also on my resume, it had the contact information for my References and I'm worried that they will be contacted about the scam. Do you think this is possible and what should I do? Please help.
Here are the the emails I received from the person: E-mail: [email protected]
