Indeed.com

This site allows fake job listings from individuals to gain info to steal identities and other scams. A recent posting from chevron oil and gas uk listed several jobs for expats. So I posted my cv/resume and received this response. :

I should have looked at the chevron usa postings prior to applying through indeed and jobrapido.

I have put my resume on the site, and I got an emailed response for a place that I applied for. They wanted to do the interview through yahoo messenger. They sent me to a site to see the company and it is a real company (Seppic) then asked a few questions. I was told I was hired at $34.00 an hour for an 'account manager' position. I told my father in law and he did some research and emailed me saying that this was a scam. When I contacted the 'hr' person this morning and started to ask questions they got rude and I disconnected from them on yahoo messenger. They repeatedly changed the story on what the job was to where they were and the fact that I had to be up at 5 to meet with them when they said that they were willing to have me work later in the day is wrong.

The person I got the email from was jesses christina and the yahoo messenger account is [protected]@yahoo.com.

Indeed.com is truly a fraud. They advertise jobs that are either no longer available or donot exist at all and are posted by scam artist seeking your personal information. I recently applied for a job that I assumed was a real. After applying I was emailed by some phony recruiter who told me that I would have to set up a yahoo account to be interviewed on yahoo messenger. Who interviews potential employees on a messenger service?! Additionally, I emailed the company to tell them that scammers are using their information to snag victims, that's when the company informed me that they didn't post a job and don't even market to my city!

Scam artists ! Be warned !
I foolishly uploaded my details to theses chancers in the mistaken belief they would assist in my job search. All I have received from them are jobs that are no longer current or have never been there in the first place. The first time it happened I was prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt and tried contacted them to inform them the job listed was no longer current. I say tried because there is no way to contact them. That was the first warning sign all was not as it seemed with this lot. Then more and more non - existent positions began to appear in my inbox. Don't go anywhere near this mob of scam artists if you are truly serious about finding employment!

I recently applied for a job in solar energy, only to find out I wasn't applying for a job. I was signing up to get spam phone calls non stop for months! This is how indeed tricks people into signing up for the "customers" stupid online ads! I am livid! I am filing a complaint with the bbb on indeed.com's practices. If you have been screwed over by indeed.com, email me at: [protected]@hotmail.com
I'm starting an anti indeed.com facebook page and i'm making it go viral. How do they stay in business? Why are they not sued daily?

I am a nurse. Put resume on indeed.com. Got a lot of spam. Unwanted phone calls. Not a single person with job possibilities. Plus my resume including phone numbers was available to everyone. This is potentially an identity theft problem. After all someone could use my references for themself. A potential employer would call my reference with my name on a job I was not applying for.

Although the original website. indeed.com is a very effective employment search engine and I highly recommend it, in Colombia they allow Companies (especially multi-nationals) to blatantly discriminate and violate National Equal Opportunity laws. They ignore inquiries and basically don´t care. I feel the main site www.indeed.com should explain their position on this. Proof? Do a search with "edad" or "años" and other terms too long to list see what you find. 49000 links of companies openly recruiting employees based on their gender, age, marital status etc. A non.discriminatory clause should be made available and enforced. Employment discrimination is a law which is punishable by jail time here in Colombia.
