The spoof job debacle

I decided to take a look on the job site where I discovered the spoof job (which I applied for) the other day.  I wanted to see if they had removed it.

They had, but a search for the same job title, turned up THE SAME position being advertised by the same person three times in my short search of 10 minutes.

Here's one of them, but the copy is identical on all three I discovered (click for full size).

The sad thing, is that different agencies are handling this spoof opportunity, who are in turn using the Jobsite web site as a platform to attract a larger punter audience.

Sad because it shows somewhat conclusively, that none of these agencies are screening the jobs they are advertising and are helping criminals to "phish" for people's bank details by pretending to have a job for them.

Dunno about you, but I think this is pretty disgraceful.  Firstly, the leeches who scam bank details from innocent people, but the job agencies who are the sort of people you find when you scrape about at the bottom of the metaphorical barrel.  Recruitment professionals ?  Don't think so.

'Contact: Charles Dick' That sums it up, really.

In my younger days I took one of these jobs from monster.com, and while I didn't lose any money (actually gained about £200 but tend to keep it quiet) it's all a money laundering scam.

Ugh! That's disgusting!
