Still diligently applying, Tim got a response that amused us both.
It congratulated him on receiving a tentative offer of employment with Miller Brewing Company. Sounds great, right?
All the applicant had to do was send a copy of his credit report to the company. Oh, and this offer expired in 72 hours.
What particularly amused me was that this contact for Miller was using an email that ended in “coachleather-usa.com.”
But obviously the real alarm-sounder here was that any copy would ask for you to supply your credit report.
Still, there are a lot of desperate people out there these days. I wonder how many will follow through without thinking, just because it sounds like the answer to their prayers.
Have any of you heard about something like this? People preying on the desperation of the unemployed?

Hello,
Congratulations! This is a tentative offer of employment for the available Administrative Assistant position in the corporate offices of Hurley USA.
As you know, this position pays a generous salary, plus benefits, and also provides potential to earn additional bonuses and incentives throughout the year. We are hiring rapidly at this time, and are fully prepared to make you an employment offer, provided that you comply with the rest of the recruitment terms.

This is a full-time position. You will be responsible for assisting the VP, filing, keeping track of interoffice expenses and supplies, reserving conference rooms, answering phones, planning travel for sales executives, payroll review, and other related tasks. Experience working as a receptionist, secretary, or administrative assistant is helpful, but not required as fully paid training is provided.
To accept these terms and move on to the final stage of the recruitment process, you must provide us with a current copy of your credit report to go in your employment file. Hurley USA, Inc. has a zero-tolerance policy in regards to theft of company property. Your actual credit scores and payment history are not important to us; rather it is a means of verifying your identity, and will also serve as your acceptance of the position. Once you fill out the report, an email is automatically generated that notifies us of your acceptance of the position. Once we receive notification that you have completed the report, we immediately mail you new-hire paperwork along with times for the next orientation. Be sure to bring 2 forms of identification with you to the orientation.

Yes, I got the same one!!! From hurley USA Inc from Kim Davis. I saw a job posting on craigslist and I was interested in the position until they emailed me about obtaining my credit score that doesn't make sense that they would want it anyways!! And they're excuse is they don't care about your payments and all that information they just want it because they ace a no theft policy ok!!! But what does that have to do with your credit score? Thank godness I found this page after googling it!! Now I know it's a scam!

Got the same email too, Except mine was for Hurley-USA. Since they already had my email address it did no further harm to give them this response.
I’m terribly sorry, I forgot to mention in my cover letter that I’m not an idiot. While it may be that the fictitious company Hurley USA, Inc. has a zero-tolerance policy in regards to theft of company property it appears you have no conscious at all. That’s what those in the medical profession call a sociopath. Please get help before you land in jail.
I have reported this fraud to the FTC as well as the Internet Fraud Complaint Center.

I too have gotten several of these letters all asking you to go to a particular web site to obtain a credit check. So for fun my Husband responded back that I already had a copy of my credit report. Their response was do you have the credit check we asked for. Its bad enough to be unemployed in this economy and then to deal with all these scams too! Also scams asking if you are interested in furthering your education after filling out online application. It doesn't allow you to say no you can only close the screen . Then you start receiving phone calls from Florida if you answer they pretend they can't hear you. If you call them back they put you on hold, I assume collecting high fees for the call.

I got the same lettter as Vivian in Carlsbad did, an I replied back to Sarah that 1) She was not very professional in not using my name in the greeting of the letter, 2) the e-mail popped up in my SPAM box, not my inbox, and 3) Who ever heard of a company that required the potential employee to send his own credit report? That is pretty damned low to try to lead people into giving away valuable information to promote their identity theft practices. I hope that the FBI or FCC, or whoever nails their ass does. Meanwhile, people like us have just another let down and have 1 less chance to get that dream job…

Yes I recieved the same email, also friday so I was in transit looking working. I reply Monday tring to beat the extenison. I credit info, page and was curious, I responed with a email to kim.

[Reply]
ugh! I got the same email yesterday. Replied to an ad in Craigslist.com for Administrative Assistant II (Mira Mesa). I thought it was weird, so I called Hurley and they’ve never heard of a MELISSA LEWIS in their HR department. So I emailed the so-called “Melissa Lewis” this:
Hi Melissa,
I am a bit skeptical in this job offer, my current and previous employers have performed credit checks on me and has NEVER asked for me to bring in my credit report. It’s a service that a company should pay for and NOT a potential employee, according to our labor law lawyer. In your email you state that it is a FREE credit report, but you fail to mention that it is only for 7 days AND that a person will be charged $25 monthly after signing up onto the website that you provided. Also, I have contacted the HR office at Hurley in regards to this matter, and they have not heard of you. do you have a contact number that you can be reached?
Thanks.

If you do click the link to nationalreport DOT net, it sends you to http://www.nationalcreditreport DOT com with an affiliate tracking code. The person behind this scam is a dishonest affiliate of their program. They get a commission for every person who signs up.

Mine was from Hurley in craigslist, Melissa Lewis is the name, that old saying applies here, if "it's too good to be true" most likely it's not. At times like this when everybody is hurting so much I'am sure a lot of people will fall for this. I wish I could spread the word about this, then again you guys are doing it. Great Job

Thanks for all this SCAM information. It's so easy to become a victim in this economic turmoil. My husband got the same letter from Hurley USA, Inc after sending a resume for a Packaging/Shipping position out of Delmar, CA. I researched the company and at the time did not come out with the SCAM blog. I'm just learning this after I had already sent for his credit report, for not just one, but three credit report agencies. The first time I did the report, I was being redirected to FreeScoresDirect and TripleScoresDirect. After not hearing from Kimberly Davis, I tried the link again and this time it was sent to NationalCredit Report. Thankfully I had cancelled the membership for the others and now working on cancelling the National Credit Card Patrol Membership. I hope these people get caught before more innocent victims, like us, fall prey! Thanks a lot for this BLOG!

Hi, thanks for your interest in applying to work for Milano Manufacturing Corporation. We have looked over your resume and we would like to have you come in for an interview. First, we need you to complete an identity verification process and answer a couple questions.
In order to comply with the USA Patriot Act of 2001, we need to maintain documentation verifying the identity of all employees. We have an account with Experian which we use to electronically document identity verification in the form of a credit check. This avoids the cost of running a background check, and allows us to receive an electronic response as soon as you've completed the application. This step is required before we are able to schedule an interview. The following url will direct you to a secure application through our Experian account. Please be certain to follow the link below, otherwise we will not receive the information on our end:

Please keep in mind our verification process is not an actual "credit pull" and your credit will NOT be harmed at all.
If the link below is not clickable for you, please copy and paste the link only and it should work.
