Career Builder Fake Jobs/No Concern By Careerbuilder
Hello everyone..sorry to be missing in action again lately.
So...please tell us...any job scams out of the ordinary lately?
I did receive a few out of the blue emails saying my long lost relative who died in a plane crash in Africa left $20 million dollars to her husband but I'm somehow the next of kin and I just have to send $500.00 to release the entire $20 million directly to my bank account.
Also, worthy of note, I've emailed Careerbuilder related to job scams and asked some pointed questions and asked for answers on why the job scams continue to show up on their website. I also provided a list of questions I'd like to have answered by the company if they are really sincerely interested in my well being as a job seeker.
So far, two weeks later I haven't received an answer despite this and showing a link to my email job scams blog.
Could it be that Careerbuilder just doesn't care?
I'm beginning to think so.
Anyone have any comments?
I'll be back with more job scams shortly.

If Career Builder is that concerned about the well being of job seekers, they should provide an email address so you can contact them directly. They like to hide behind their name and look good but really just don't seem to care. I agree 100%.
I am very concerned about the emails I get from careerbuilder(?) several times a week that tell me someone is interested in me. I was asked to send the email in original format to TSST@careerbuilder.com and always receive a boilerplate reply that is of no help.
The most recent one is "Parallel Employment Group (03-Aug-2011) is Interested in You, Blake@site.careerbuilder.com
3:20 PM (37 minutes ago)
In past emails forwarded to TSST I've just asked them to verify whether @site.careerbuilder.com is legitimate, but no answer.
I'm about ready to give up on these guys and have begun to doubt whether the TSST is real or just a tool to protect SCAMMERS.
Who can tell me what's really going on? I need a job, not email games!
I get emails from CareerBuilder saying "XXX company is interested in you". That is a LIE. CareerBuilder is trying to SCAM job seekers. They cannot speak on behalf of a company and say the company is interested in you (unless someone who works for that company indicates so). Avoid these morons at all costs
Careerbuilder my hairy ass. NEVER EVER give out your contact details on careerbuilder. This is a fraud company who sell your info to others. Most of the jobs on CB are fake.
