Dear Consumer 1960,

Jobungo provides free job alerts to our users as a valuable service to job seekers and we never collect your personal information on our site. I can assure you that we NEVER text message our users, nor would it even be possible because we never ask for a user’s cell phone number. Please be advised that after you click on a job listing that you are directed to an employer’s website. Unfortunately, we have no control over the content posted on an employer’s website. With millions of job listings, we do our best to filter out any result that looks suspicious, but we cannot ensure the validity of every single listing. It is very helpful if you can provide specific examples that I can review and share with our Compliance Team. Always use caution when providing your personal information online, and know that Jobungo will NEVER ask for this from any user. You may contact me directly at [protected]@jobungo.com if you have any other concerns.

Thank you,
Spencer

Hi jwh051,

Jobungo does not work directly with employers to promote their job openings, so it is not unlikely that some personnel would not be familiar with the website. Like many job search websites, the jobs we display on Jobungo are sourced from many different job boards and employers. When an employer posts an opening online, that information is spread across the internet by job boards and search engines. Thank you for your question, and please feel free to contact me directly at spencer@jobungo.com if you have any other concerns.

Jobungo is complete spam. They steal your personal information from Career Builder and then you're finished. How do I know they are spammer because it's impossible to block them because the spam and the junk comes from different addresses or email servers every time. They suck and the best part is they know they suck so why bother even ask them to stop. They just are junk and if they were real the emails would stop. Just like Johnson Jobs lol they probably are in bed together!

I never signed up for any emails from them. A few days ago I started getting them and not even for the same city and state I live in.

Funny how they don't ask you to verify your account email when you sign up right?

Clearly they are spamming ### that create accounts from spammers mailing lists in the hope that people will continue to use their system and give them revenue.

I found the website www.jobungo.com and thought to search for job through this website. I was really surprised, when it turned out that all their offers were fakes. They posted fake posts about jobs and wanted to get only personal info from the customers. I was shocked and have no idea how they use your info, but I wanted to ask other people, if someone found real job through this website. Please, post your reviews and comments.

A legitimate website takes responsibility for its content. Surveys that invite questionable online "schools" to contact your users is NOT helpful to job seekers.

I am not buying into Spencer's comments that defend Jobungo.com. Legitimate sties take responsibility for their content. Thee are a lot of bogus websites out there to "help" job seekers with Schools that may not even be legitimate. Any website that wants you to take a survey should be treated with suspicion.

I recently started going to company websites to search jobs posted at Jobungo and always find no openings for the positions that Jobungo sends me. It is also apparent that their real interest is recruiting for college(s). The "agreement" that is required when a job seeker applies for their postings reads that you are agreeing to be contacted regarding college offer(s) and there is no way to submit your application without agreeing. I will delete Jobungo from my address book so I don't waste anymore time applying for jobs through them. They are not interested in finding us jobs, it's apparent that they are recrutiers.

Sorry jobungo you are judge by the company you keep. Like the others up here I was contacted several times for school. That's after I initially told them I'm not interested. They still called all of this occurred after applying to a job on your site. You can be sorry all day long or find a way for people who need jobs to not get phone calls from telemarketers (like who chooses to go school over the phone, a call they didn't request) as I say in times like this this, it's your business not ours find another way to pay for for it or get out of business. Just look at cable TV vs paid and or paid/ad. Viewers don't care about your business model. And in these days of the instant message you like so many firms are wasting time responding to people like me, I'm sure whatever the job is the investors set aside plenty of money for "web damage control" talk about chasing your tail.

Haven't gotten a job from the 'applications' on their site. You don't need to offer me a credit check when I apply for a job. Notice that their PR writers (Spencer) found this page and are claiming they aren't a scam. NICE TRY! Anyway, thanks for trying to take advantage of those who are unemployed and desparate to find work.

Spencer, Business 101 would teach you to take care of your customer base for repeat customers and referrals.

It would bother me a lot less if at least one link didn't dead end in a 404.

Just what exactly is your position and intent as host of jobongo?
You have a great idea and could retire wealthy if you could assure customers what you are offering is what they will actually be getting.
Shall we assume that Maybe you will retire wealthy and your real business is scamming?

P.S. Please note it didn't shock me at all that the link to unsubscribe at the bottom of your emails didn't work either.

I'm receiving all these alerts to my phone about jobs but when I try to go online on my laptop computer, the page freezes and i have to shut my computer down improperly. What is wrong with this website? If something is wrong with your site, then you shouldn't send out email alerts. I know it isnt my computer because i can go on any other website and it pulls right up but jobungo ALWAYS FREEZES WHEN I GO ON JOBUNGO.COM... FIX THIS OR I'M UNSUBSCRIBING!

I started receiving e-mails from Jobungo and when I responded they sent me to applicant tree.com who then had me fill out an online application. They asked me about schooling and cell phones, they also said I could get 500 dollars for taking a survey even asked if I use face book. They are a scam. Look up applicant tree.com and career-network.com on google and you will find all of these sites are just a scam. The alleged owner is known by our US government for multiple scams and was even convicted of a felony. Stay away don't respond back. Do your research on the companies they post like one they posted doesn't exists and another one the company does not exists in this area.

I just wanted to thank the folks who put this information out about the scammers on Jubongo. The fact that Americans should be protected from people who try and use the Internet to commit fraud and deceit against honest people looking for jobs. Once it has been established that they are scammers, they should be shut down and prevented from operating where ever they are located. Again my sincere thanks and hopefully no one will fall prey to the scam that Jubongo attempts to use to gain vital information from honest Americans.

I agree, for a couple of weeks now, I have been responding to job openings that I was e-mailed, and when prompted to fill out apps or send resumes, you have to answer questions about school, and other adds in which all you are looking for is a job. Then somehow, at times, my computer tells me an error has occured, probably because you decline offers or do not pay subscription fees. Unbelievable, if you had money to accept their offers, you probably would not be looking for a job. Scam

Scammers leave the unemployed people alone, need a job, not to be taking advantage of. Give us the free. (in my African voice) And stop calling me telling me you are a rep for the company i applied for, then try to get me to sign up for school, then when i tell you i don't want school you quickly hang up the phone, give us the free!

Scam big time. I constantly get e-mails claiming I'm hired but I have to first provide all my sensitive information to proceed. Some even take the time explain that I'll receive payment via money orders, cashiers checks that I am to cash and distribute to charities. All sorts of different scenarios ending with my having to disclose sensitive information about myself.

I am glad I googled their name and came across this site, you confirmed my suspicions. Thanks!
