I submitted my resume to this website a couple of weeks ago. I am still receiving emails from "on fire employment" that read:

Subject: "Regarding your application for" (fill in the blank)

"Our company tried to reach you let you know about the Legal File Clerk position. Unfortunately, we have not yet received your response

This is a great opportunity. offers $15.00/hour plus excellent benefits, including paid sick days and holidays, medical and dental insurance, tuition reimbursement plans, and a 401k retirement plan.

Are these people even real? I have emailed this address back to inquire when and how this "company" tried to reach me, and still have not heard back from this "company". Does anyone know anything about this site? Has there been anyone who has gotten a job from this site?

I got a variation of this email myself, and found this site when I googled the name. Same "pay" and everything, but my "Angela Sanders" was only the "Assistant to the Office Manager". What a comedown for poor li'l Angela!

I think this is a way to get emails to contact them about "online schools". On the job application, it has a question on the first page about whether you are thinking about "furthering your education".

Career-Network.com fraud email

I was sent an email from C. Benn and he told me that my he has reviewed my resume and I was selected from a vast number. He told me to visit the link and put in my info. I copied the link into a separate window and filled out my name, address, email, phone number, and uploaded my resume. I did notice that the company name was confidential. I then did some research and tried to go back to the site-which is now "under construction". BEWARE of any emails about jobs that sound way too good to be true, more than likely they are. I hope that my infor doesn't get misused. I have also reported them to hotmail. com

That just happened to me, they sent me a text message to call them regarding the job I applied for, and yes I sent them my refer. After going to google and reading all of your posts, I went back to Craig's list found the ad, and I flagged them for removal. So this ad will be removed, and any other I see, I will flag for removal as well. Thanks for posting this info, it was very helpful to me and I hope to others.

Career-Network.com Online scam

Career-network.com is a bogus site that when you apply to a job through Craigslist you are directed to multiple bogus websites under the banner of career-network.com to fill out your personal information including your address and what cell phone carrier you use as well as whether you own your own business and what your credit score is etc.

Another thing is that I took my wife's advice and did NOT provide the 3 references that they had the nerve to ask for. I mean of course on an interview, I would be more than happy to provide the manager/recruiter with the references. But, they asked for names, email addys and phone numbers.

Nothing is ever heard back from them. The email you respond to on Craigslist always has a firstname.[protected]@gmail.com. As you can see this is in all cities. I'm looking in NYC. This is really frustrating as I am looking for a genuine job and have wasted my time several times filling out these bogus forms for what sounded like good jobs.

I hope that my personal information, (name, address and phone number), will not be misused.

I thought I was about to get an interview. They checked my references, which were stellar, then I have never heard another word from them despite my repeated requests.

seems that this company is at it again, not only are they fake, but if you find the number that they use "[protected]" if you google that number it shows up on a lot of websites, that are dealing with some kind of career, this site along with those fake sites should be shut down

I just got an email from Greg Klein stating he is interviewing for an administrative support position in the town where I live. Thankfully, a program I use alerted me to the fact that the website career-network.com was not considered a safe site. The information led me here. I will be out of work for a year this week. I do not find it even a little humorous that I am getting scam emails like this on a daily basis. And there's no need for them to try to coax me to go to school. I did that on my own and am in my 3rd semester. It is very disheartening to have people like this preying on those of us who are simply trying to get employment so that we can have a simple life. Why doesn't the government shut these people down?

The Career network.com website seemed fishy from the get go. The first thing you see is an add for higher education. That's all well and good but there is no way to skip this ad. I was able to skip the ad after several minutes. I started to fill out the application and notice that you HAD to supply a cell phone number. Also You HAVE to get their junk mail, no way to skip this. They say the PREFERRED way to receive thier ads is through texting. which means you have to pay to see the ad you don't want to see to begin with. On another page they want your Facebook information. Why? Nothing is ever expalined as to why they need this and they give you no way to skip over stuff. This site stinks to the high heavens and I wonder how they are able to continue withou getting into trouble.

The same thing happened to me. I live in Vancouver, WA and applied to Optima Consulting and Johnson & Armel. Same thing with both...they say the interview could take up to 45 minutes and I was on the phone with them in less than 5 minutes. It is very upsetting that they have my name, address, email address, and phone number and who knows what they are doing with it...it is extremely irritating.

WOW! I fell for it once, and it never dawned on me that the bum-rush of calls from different aggressive education recruiters was even related until now. I have been out of work for 20 VERY LONG MONTHS! And it is disappointing to find that there are predators out there takingi advantage of this very vulnerable situation. Every caller was even more aggressive than the previous one. They kept saying they were responding to my request for more information, I said I haven't requested any information, I am a student currently why would I seek more information from 10 other schools? When nearly anything you want to know can be found online? They're nuts, don't fall for it. The only reason I ended up researching Career Networks is because I keep geeting an email every 2 days worded the same but from different people and when you click the link within, it looks VERY generic, I mean I write some HTML, and i'm not expert but my 6 y/o son could have created a site that looks better than that! So yeah, they're done in my opinion, i'm going to flag them for spam on each and every email.

Hope this help someone, and good luck in the job search.

Signed,

I had a feeling Career Network was a fake, but I pursued the opportunity to get a 'at home' job. Sounded good.

The network contacted me through email after I applied for a VERIFICATION SPECIALIST and DATA ENTRY position through another site, I think Career Builder.com. I filled in repeated questions about continuing education and eventually got to a PPT of their company which you have to watch before you can get a face-to-face interview. I did that - it was interesting an explained clearly their company main stream is to promote continuing education, finding people jobs outside of that is an extra thing they do sometimes, maybe.

So, I figured okay I can call people and verify their information and then refer them to colleges still sounds good - so I got an interview of tomorrow or next day on an options drop-down list, and picked a time slot. I live in Lakeland, FL and the interview site is in Orlando, FL a drive of about 30 miles or so.

But I have my hesitation. This reminds me of the interview process of GEICO - 3 days I called in sick to work, only to be told I didn't qualify. So even though I have the appt. for an interview after reading this complaint list... I'm gonna be a no-show. Thanks everyone for info !

To everyone who has been scam by CN it is still going on today. And i have been searching for a job for over two months and have learned of a new scam.

Jobs are being posted on Monster, Careerbuilders, Craigslist, Hotjobs et etc you apply and 99% they are recruiters ads. You get the call to come and meet them and when you do you fill out the paper work and then you ask about the job that was posted and i get the famous words "oh it was taken" well this is bull! it seems that recruiters hurting in making money so they are collecting bulk mass resumes from job seekers like me and then they are calling company's to see if they need any help as they "Have several key skilleed candidates" and if someone from the bulk of resumes get called for the job the recruiter stills gets a fee Scam Scam scam!
