Welcome mgx123!

You shouldn't worry too much if you sent a scan of your ID. This type of scammers is after fast money. He might use these scans in future to show to other victims as proof of his identity, but you can't get those scans back.

However, you need to worry if you sent him your social security number and/or details of your bank account. In this case you need to contact the authority which issued your social security number and/or your bank immediately.

Our site killers will have a good look at the scammer's fraudulent website.

I'm glad you spotted it as a scam. The recent one-year registration makes it bogus, and it isn't a Danish word.
I wouldn't worry too much. It's very unlikely that the scammer is interested in the scanned ID, and yours won't be .the only one he has been sent. He just asked for it to try and convince you the scam is legitimate.
We'll try and get the site shut down.

It also appears that they are working the careerbuilder dot com employment website under Zodiac Electronics .

I fell for the scam too. Sent them all of my info and will probably have my identity stolen now. I checked on all of their certifications that they have listed on their homepage and they are all bogus. BSI, the agency that commissions these certifications, said their regulatory department is going to go after them for this. I reported them to the FBI and IC3. Hopefully they'll get what they deserve with a nice long prison sentence, if they're not already behind bars while running this scam already. I get more of these scam company job offerings from CareerBuilder than is imaginable. This is definitely the best one by far yet. It simply amazes me that nobody makes them shutdown the website though. It seems as though nobody cares about enforcing the laws by going after these thieves. The government seems to do nothing in response to take action, and it's really sad.

I would love to get my hands on a set of headers and if possible, all emails they sent. Could you please post them? If you are unsure how to find the headers let us know which email provider you use and we'll explain.

Most likely we'll be able to get the website offline, but we will need headers for that. Thanks for sharing your story

So shennessey since your getting so many fraud employment offers . Post them here . Save someone else . If you need assistance to do that , I'm sure any member will help . If you sent them your details than it would also be wise to periodically google your details to make sure they are not being used in scam .

IE

"Name Name" in paranthesis . "123 Any Street Anytown " etc .
