Kristin Walker Senior Supply Manager Job Scam

The fake job offers continue to come into my main email account. Here's yet another one of the fake job offers from someone unrelated to the email address you reply back to with your resume. I thought about sending in a fake resume but then I realized it's not really worth the effort to fight with the scammers.

Here's that verbatim email:

I was not familiar w/ this scam. I was recently laid off. I sent out my resume to many recruiters and applied to virtually every job board. I rec'd the same email thinking it was a recruiter. At first, I was a little leery, but responded anyway. I searched on google and could not find anything on this. My desperation clouded my judgement. Spoke to Emma Karlsson from JV Consulting (a Finnish company) for a couple weeks. Had a phone interview, checked out the website and everything seemed legit until I came across this blog. I feel like a dope but what a relief!!! Thanks a million for posting the warning.

Same thing happened to me. I went as far as a phone interview and got offered the position. Before signing and returning their employment contract I found this Scam Report. Thank you. It seemed too good to be true. I asked them for vendor references and someone in the U.S. that I could speak with. Haven't heard back since. Checked out the domain Reg. and it's registered in Nassau, Bahamas, not Helsinki, Finland.

I got the same message as above, it's totally a scam, because they never gave US address, nor did they have a formal interview for handing a salary upwards of $5000 a month????????

I got the one and only paycheck form ISO. Cashed it same day. I assume it was the last one sine they told that i didn't pass their training or whatever it was. You are unable to handle our supply projects - they said.

I received a job offer by an agatha Couri and a partner named Hugo Bakken. Both claimed to represent Globex Supply Co and directed me to what looked like a legit website to apply. I needed a job and foolishly I fell in the trap and played along and am owing my credit cards over $19000. I didn't see the fraud reports until it was too late. Please be wary of any jobs offers in your emails
