As what I understood, it came from SnagaJob HR Department. So i logged in to Yahoo Messenger and there he was, Mr Frederick Mims. He said the job is strictly online and work from home. He went on with the interview questions and then asked me to wait for 5 mins. He came back & said that I passed and gave me a list of all the materials & softwares that i need for the job. I will be paid $26.85/hr with Paid time off, 401k, health & dental plans, etc. All the benefits only one can dream of. He said i will receive a check which i can use to purchase the materials. It was too good to be true so i started to ask him questions. Everything seemed legit until i asked him if it's a full time or part-time job. He answered "full-time/part-time". That's when i knew it's a scam because no company would give all those benefits if you work part-time. He asked me to be online at 8am the following day so he can introduce me to the "training supervisor". So i came back online the next day & of course there was no training supervisor. He just told me that the check has been processed & i will get it the next day. He then told me i have to be online at 8am today so he can give me the Fedex tracking number. I didn't show up at 9am & he didn't ask any question about why i was late or anything. But i just went along with him and got the check today. It is a US check, bank is in Illinois. I called the bank's check verification and the account number does not exist. I told Mr. Mims about the fake check & never got a reply. He is still online & just ignoring me. I have attached a copy of the check. I also sent an email to snagajob asking them about the legitimity of the job posting.

I was just wondering how many people these guys have fooled. It is a complete waste of time. It was to good to be true and it's not. What do they get out of this? I just wish SnagaJob would screen employers before they allow them to post jobs.

The company claims to be there for job seekers, you can go there and lookup jobs near you, so you can apply for them if they meet your interest and needs. They also offer you to post your resume on their site, so that employers who are on their site may see your resume and contact you. I fell victim to this scam. Its a lesson learned and I'll be more careful in the future. The registration process was simple, but little did I know they include a hidden option that is called: "Yes I am interested in furthering my education and would like to learn about opportunities"

This option does not show up during registration. It shows up only during editing your profile. I didn't find this option until I got a call from a college recruiter and they directed me to where they saw the option listed. I deselected the option and when I viewed my profile the option became selected again. I've been getting phone calls from college recruiters, salespeople, etc. This site basically took my information and gave it to third parties without my consent. They did not inform me originally of the hidden option.

Its outright privacy invasion. I called Snagajob's customer support line which was only an automated system, I pushed the correct sequence of buttons to speak to a live person, but it kept sending me back to a automated service. Avoid the site.

I’ve dealt with this website for 6 months now. It has become progressively worse with time. At first it seemed great – submitting dozens of applications with a few clicks, finding localized hiring – but soon I got sick of it. I have never been contacted by employers of the website. That alone does not make me angry because I know I have weird hours due to school and most places are not willingly to work with those hours. But the fact that I’ve tried to unsubscribe from the SnagAJob emails twice without avail is ridiculous. I tried to unsubscribe the normal way; submitting my email address and waiting 10 days for the emails to stop. That did not work. I personally emailed the “contact” on the website and expressed my anger. I used to get about 10 emails per day from this ridiculous website. It has reduced to about 5 per day but it is still extremely irritating. There is no response from any of the website contacts. I do not know who personally runs this website but they’re either on a permanent vacation or they take pleasure in flooding people’s inbox’s with junk. And it is JUNK! I click on one of their emails, exclaiming somewhere near me is hiring, and the link takes me a list of locations NO WHERE near me. Not even in the same state usually! This website is terrible and the customer service (IF it EXISTS) is run by a bunch of ###s.

I have been trying to get a job since I've been in my car accident, and I came across snagajob.com cause they said they had jobs in my are. When I feel out the information, they ask questions about school and loans the whole time, i have came across this before. But didn't pay it any attention which i should have though. Any who I get a call not even 5mins later saying that I filled out info about going back to school which I said no in the first place. So i was nice enough to let her finish, then i said i hope this is being recorded. So I let her know I thought she was wrong for running scams like this knowing people need jobs to even go back and forth to school. She didn't try and stop me from talking which was good cause it would have made it worse, do not use www.snagajob.com or any other off brand site that has questions about anything else other than the job. Good luck and God speed...

I have been trying to use SnagaJob.com for over a year now. I have had ZERO job responses for positions that I am very well qualified for. I think that SnagAJob.com is a scam and others should decide looking eleswhere for their job search needs.

I had just called to delete my account and make sure that i no longer recieve emails from your company (the woman i spoke with was very nice and assured me I would no longer get any). Not 5 minutes later i recieved an email requesting feed back on the applicaton I had just completed. I have not completed any applications in quite some time because I find this website to be a scam. On several of the applications that i had sent out in my area it stated not to contact the employer, i would recieve an email back saying i was not quailfied for the postion. Hard to believe that a Food and Beverage Manager of 5 years is not qualified to be a barista at Starbucks! So, i decided to go to the Starbucks, at the location that Snag a job assured was hiring baristas and management, only to find out that they WERE NOT hiring nor are they affiliated, in any way, with Snagajob.com. I then decided to visit some of the other companies that i was deemed not qualified, and recieved the same answer. I find it rediculious that in a time like this, when so many people are fighting to find and keep a job that this site just wastes your time with 45 minute applications for jobs that don't exist! Shame on you Snagajob.com for wasting the time of people trying to make an honest living!

snagajob.com dosen't help you progress in job searching. it appears to be helpful but it's really a scam to get personal information. i asked to stop sending info to my email but it continued. they wouldn't let me delete my account. I believe that there holding personal information and i no longer need this site. i would like for my info to be deleted or further action must be taken

They charge for listings and the hourly jobs while they may be in your city are hard to figure out how close they are to you..

I have been applying on this website for the past 6 months. I haven't received any notification on my applications being approved. Every time I check my profile, it says still at employers website. I have called several companies that I have applied for and they have not received my application, per this website. I personally think this website is a scam and I am going to submit it to the BBB.. I have given personal information to this website and I am very worried that my personal information is about to be used in fraudulant activity...

I have tried to apply for a variety of positions at several companies including Kohls; I am well qualified as well as capable for each of these positions, yet according to Snag a Job Im not. The questions asked are so vaugely general how can you fit peronal qualifing criteria in such a general manner? I would allready have the job if I could just get past Snag a Job! I know this for a fact since with out Snag a Job I was able to get a similar position at Target overnight, however I prefered to be at kohls and hope that Snag a Job doeas somthing different with its application set up.

I have tried several times to apply with this company, and have been denied and the site does not tell me why I have been denied. A third party site should not be allowed to make the decision that I am not qualified for a job. I am tired of having to apply online and missing numerous job opportunities because they feel I am not qualified.

My son filled out over 20 applications using snagajob. After 2mths. it came to his attention that they mixed my profile and his profile up in one on his applications. It was showing not only was he born in 1992 but that he graduated the same yr. Now he is being told he can not reapply to any of the companys again for at least 90 days. Any that sucks because students only have a limited amount of employers that will hire them. He already applied at ever fast food company in the area. Not to mention all the grocery stores. Thanks for listening, Missy
