They’re persistent, I’ll give ’em that. But I won’t give ’em anything else.

Now they’ve changed their company name, and instead of an IQ test they want a credit report. And I’m sure their web site is a completely safe and legitimate place to enter all my personal information for that purpose.

The fax number is different, but their phone number is the same.

How are you again <my full name>, I hope that you are having a nice Friday.

I am sending a quick e-mail because our department has still not seen or heard anything back from you with regards to the job.

Please understand that if we do not hear back from you by Tuesday, June 15th, we will need to move on to the second choice.

This is also a reminder that we need a recent credit report (Located here: http://JadinCorp.com/Credit-Report) and your availability for us to set up an interview.

If you already sent in the required information, simply disregard this e-mail and we will get back with you in the next few days.

Thanks a bunch and have a wonderful rest of the Friday,

I’d better get right over there before they give the fake job to somebody else.

Hello <my full name>, it’s fantastic to hear from you.

We appreciate you e-mailing us.

You are extremely qualified for this job position, and more so than the other 13 applicants we received resumes from.

The selection process is almost done. We only ask for you to complete a basic, simple IQ(Intelligence Quotient) quiz to complete and show to our Head of Human Resources.

Please perform the IQ Quiz here: http://LostonCorp.com/IQ-Quiz

Please reply back with the results and an availability schedule to set-up an interview.

Personally, I am excited to fill this position with a friendly face and looking to your quick response.

Have a wonderful Thursday,

Apparently others receiving this one were supposed to go watch a video, or confirm a phone number (back when they were calling themselves Charon, Corp).

As far as I’ve seen, if they want you to go to a web page and “complete” something—there is no job, it’s just a scam to get your information, or to generate clickthroughs, or both.
