I am very disappointed that job scammers have infiltrated Monster.com and Yahoo Hot jobs. Now I am starting to receive email notifications that companies have reviewed my resume and now want to hire me for jobs that do not exist. Or these jobs exist to serve as a scam because there is absolutely no way I can make money like what is described below and with such simple hours per day and week. I really wish I had the nerve to send all my personal information to secure fake employment just to take these scammers for a ride, but for now, I'm not nerve ready. I'd rather just expose the job as a fake job and sit back and hopefully help others from parting from any good money they may already have in favor of scams like the one below.
Any thoughts?????
Below is the fake job offer:

I just received an email notification from Kevin Miller offering me a job for this company and after checking this "Pound Group" on the website, I am totally appalled. Where in the world does this person get the audacity to involve himself in an innocent person life, while these people are putting their resumes on a trusted career website, only to have these people violate their private lifes? Why hasn't this person been stopped?
I wish I knew how to stop it myself. I know these fake jobs and scammers have accounts with Monster.com and Yahoo's hot jobs but neither company I contacted by email is overly concerned about the fake jobs and scammers having access to personal resumes submitted online by persons looking for work. I guess they get money from the scammers for the scammer's right to see what persons they can try and contact via email to get their personal information to scam them.
Hi ! I have the same problem and received the same email, but it's not the single one because they're popping in my inbox from over a month now... I have already claimed that to
TSST@careerbuilder.com which is CareerBuilder's Trust and Site Security Team. the more emails from us, the sooner this problem shall be solved. I just hate my data are hacked.
Yes you are correct. With unemployment high , these scam artist are trying to steal our identity and the little money we have. Kevin Miller needs to be arrested....
I cannot believe how we humans can take advantage of each other. We are hungry and we have families to feed. How cruel and low have to be a person to play with our life. I am discusted :(
Be careful, some other websites ask you for a initial payment, etc, do not pay anything I have paid by mistake an annual fee to a company to promise to send out your resume to over 500+ top Banks and Corporations, I don't understant how this sites exits and fool people, people that wants to get a serious job to support their families.
This website is another fake site.
Be careful!
