Latest ID Theft Tactic: Fake Job Listings

Posted by timothy on from the only-send-them-your-fake-information dept.

citking writes "News.com.com reports that, in an attempt to curb identity theft on its service, online career listing site Monster.com has begun warning its users of fake job postings bent on stealing personal information. 'Regrettably, from time to time, false job postings are listed online and used to illegally collect personal information from unsuspecting job seekers', according to an e-mail sent by the company yesterday to registered users. With the increasingly difficult job market, things such as background checks and non-disclosure agreements are becoming more and more difficult to avoid, so where does one draw the line for giving out personal information in response to a classified ad? CNN has a small article about this as well."

    Thank you very little, you sorry, misguided, sack of shit. I use monster.com along with several other on-line services. I also use the old fashioned newspaper and networking.

    My credit rating is one of the best you will ever see as I pay cash for everything ('cept the house.)

    Think before you over-generalize, you cretin.

    Seriously, I'd believe that you were gay, except that you are so hideous that bestiality is even out of your grasp. Honestly, take your paycheque, go see a plastic surgeon, and after he's done screaming in absolute horror, maybe he can fix your fat face up so that you're no longer referred to as "the older, uglier brother of the elephant man".

    And when he's done that, maybe he could break out the shop vac and remove a couple tonnes out of each ass cheek. Make sure he does that equator you call a gut as well, so it doesn't slide into those glad bags what would have been your asscheeks.

    After a year and about a million fucking dollars you'll be able to take it up the ass, instead of manwhores just jerking off onto your massive belly and watching you lick it off of your man tits. You are an absolutely filthy disgusting hippie loving fag-craving, butt-munching, cock-gobbling, take it in the ear for a beer, cum guzzling fag shemale whore queen!
