Hiring Executive

The red flag for me was, of course, their request for a credit application, as well as the dollar fee! So I finally had some information and there was no website for them, and the link for the application linked to a credit check (for pay) site.

As I would never send just anyone my personal information, I didn't fall for the scam, but I'm sure there are plenty others who will.

This is what they posted:
