The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I too received a letter from Jim Stepp at Star Group Company. He claimed he got my name from Careerbuilder. My suspicions were raised due to the generic comments made in the email: "we are headquartered in the USA", etc. I am reporting this to careerbuilder and the other job sites.
