is this a scam? PLEASE HELP

I got the same thing seemed fishy so i checked online and found this forum... thank goodness lol

This is what I received

Thank you for sending your resume to me. So the job responsibilities are clear, you will be answering the phone, scheduling meetings, and running company errands such as buying office supplies and making bank deposits, in a company car. When running errands you will be provided with a company credit card to make supply purchases, etc. We have had some bad experiences with prior employees taking advantage of having access to a company credit card in the past, so before we can schedule an interview and to comply with the US Patriot Act, we need you to get a background check. We prefer you use http://www.freecreditreport719.com to obtain this information as they are reliable. We have also found their reports most accurate. When you submit your information they will send you your credit score. Please email me your credit score, so we can schedule an interview. Please do not email me your credit report, as this may have private information in it. Just send me your credit score. If you have a low credit score, that will not prevent you from having an interview with us, but it does show us that you are trustworthy and responsible. Please send me your schedule with availability for an interview along with your credit score. I am looking forward to your response!

@ dhedges82
Im so glad you found this site as well! life saver!

Headers contain valuable information where the mail is sent from. This is how you get them;

When looking at your inbox, right-click on the mail you want the headers from (don't open the mail). The last option in the list is 'View full headers'. A popup will appear with a bunch of letters and code, just copy the whole thing and post it here/PM it to me/mail it to me. If you decide to post it on the thread, make sure to remove your own email adress from it

It may look like jibberish to you, but they contain valuable information and proof needed to close down the site.

Update: thanks to the overwhelming number of people that submitted the headers on this domain we were able to close down the site. I am glad that it went down so quickly because this one was hurting alot of people. Let's hope that this is the end of that chapter

"Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught."

Welcome! I'm glad you quickly saw through the scam.

Ironically, they were trying to reassure you when they wrote that.

Basically they were saying they wanted the score, not the whole report, because they didn't want to steal your identity. That does seem to be true of these affiliate scams--they mostly seem to be after the affiliate fee, not the identity info. Of course the request is totally illogical, as you could just make up any score and send it to them.

It looks as if that site has already been killed.

So glad the site is down! Thanks you all so much!

They're now doing "business" as "Dyson Corp." Here is the mail I received from them today after I answered an ad on Craigslist:

Thank you also for posting this new information, it will go a long way to helping others, well done.

Hmm, looks like this gang is back. Weels have been set in motion to get it closed down, hopefully it won't last long

I received the following generation of this scammer gang:

Thanks for the heads up, this will be reported soon

I know that this is an old topic, but I came upon it while googling what I thought was a pretty sketchy response to a craigslist job posting. Looks like they're now operating under Lyson Corp.

Here's the email I received:

Welcome here Huskyforlife.

Thanks for posting this, it seems to be a fake website, as replacement of the previous websites.
