This is the only 'jobsearch' website that ask questions about FACEBOOK. It makes me uneasy. Maybe it's the sign of the times but I don't care for it.

they texted me with a message to my phone and knew my name when I called.
My Iphone did not give me a location that corresponded with the area code of the phone number they provided. After bombarding me with personal questions they offered me schooling via their education department. Where is the JOB.

Doesn't get any worse than this. Stay away!

what a scam. Just realized that they have been billing the credit card for months and havent gotten any emails from them. You can't even get a hold of them to access our account. The password retrieval function doesn't work and was probably never meant to. Jobnab is happy billing me for no service rendered. Learned a lesson about giving away any of my information to these creeps. One is better off writing a check every month. It is easier in the long run.

Can I give ZERO stars to these infamous and unprofessional E-terrorists?
They ARE crooks. They managed to access my name on a very major curriculum and database Web Site, now under my name and e-mail they beg me to access their Web Site just by giving out my information- I mean the complement. Do NOT post your resume, anything on these hiring Web Sites - this one based in NY And Maynard (cannot say the name of the Web Site.), or post your resume, NOT your full name and a e-mail. Believe me, they are kind of E- terrorists, their aim is to traffic your information, parasiting your existence, exposing you to ID theft by proxy. If you want a job, contact companies directly! Jobnab wants to NAB YOU.- poor soul in despair for a job.

www.jobnab.com, www.career-network.com

I thought it was incredibly suspicious when I asked if I could record the initial "registration" phone call and was immediately told NO and that if I was going to refuse not to record the call with Jobnab that the agent would hang up. I then spoke with a jobnab "specialist" by the name of Robert who obviously did not hear me say I was recording the call because he kept right on with his script. When I told Robert that I had a Bachelor's degree his reply was "you are of course going to continue your education aren't you?" When I said No he seemed very disappointed. I asked very detailed questions about how exactly do they match jobs when they have nothing but my name, email and phone number and was told over and over again that all I had to do was change the job category on the web page. When I commented that that was no different from Monster, CareerBuilder etc he became agitated and continued his diatribe that I could change my 'interest' on the web page. I then asked to speak to his supervisor and big surprise there was no supervisor "available" but I could contact the corporate office by clicking the Contact Us link. I asked Robert for the phone number to 'his office (by which one would assume is the corporate office) to which he again replied that I could use the Contact Us link. I laughed and said "You don't even know the phone number to your own corporate office? This sounds like an outright scam to me exactly how does Jobnab make their money" At this point Robert stated that he was going to have to disconnect the call. I immediately called back, got another rep named Alan who began with the same script when I told him to STOP I was calling to have my information removed from their database and that I had better not get a single call from anyone associated with Jobnab including colleges, college matching services etc.

DON'T REGISTER WITH THESE PEOPLE!!!

Just recieved text message from someone telling me to register with jobnab so I could be considered for a position. Glad I checked first! Just wish I knew how they got my info in the first place!

An email was sent from a Maria Schubert claiming they saw my resume and had the perfect position for me. It requested I go to their website and register. Mm k. If you saw my resume and I am a match for a job, then why aren't you discussing the position instead of trying to get me to punch my personal information into your registration form? Just look at the terms and conditions for the answer:

"By providing a valid email address to the Company, the User explicitly grants permission for the Company, its affiliates, advertisers, service providers, and other third parties, to send the User emails regarding various information pursuant to the Privacy Policy. If the User no longer desires to receive emails from the Company, the User may follow the opt-out procedures set forth in the email from the Company."

"4. Email Policy. If you receive an email from the Company, its affiliates, advertisers, service providers, or other third parties, your email address was obtained as a result of either your express and voluntarily request to receive information from the Company, its affiliates, advertisers service providers, or other third parties or your existing relationship with the Company, its affiliates, advertisers, service providers, or other third parties. Each email sent contains an automated method to "opt out" of receiving additional emails from the Company or its affiliates. If you no longer wish to receive emails from the Company or its affiliates, please follow the instructions at the end of any email. If you remove your information from the Company's database, it will no longer be used by us for secondary purposes, disclosed to third parties, or used by us or third parties to send promotional correspondence to you."

Funny how simply filling out a "registration" form suddenly turns into you are consenting to having your personal information spread to everyone out there. You call this a job matching service?

Sadly, I was also sent a text message regarding a job, based on my resume, how nice they have a job need that I match. The sad thing is...I'm smarter and find the need to check things out as others I see do just to find out it's bull when I need a job and have the skills and get the idiots who prey on others misfortune. They should be locked up!

I received an e-mail from them early this morning saying pretty much the same thing everyone else here received. Some guy named Zach Conner supposedly read my resume and decided to contact me out of the blue with a tourism job? I never applied to any job in that market. Add to that the fact that they are based in Florida and I'm clear across the country. So they are still slinging the same old hash here folks. I called the Florida number and listened to their recorded message: many pauses, false starts, and errors. I will attempt to call them again and find out who they bought my info from: I'm seriously doubting they'll disclose their source, but one can try.

I unfortunately fell for this scam and sent them a w-9 for employment. I learned yesterday that someone used my social and name to file a tax return. Do not fall for this company!

I just got a text from JobNab.com, I looked it up on google and found out about the scam. Thanks for the warning. I need a job not a scam.

T N. renda,
i've commented to a couple other users that i heard about universe.jobs on NPR. it's a network of job sites where you enter the city or the field or both that you're looking for (like orlandonursing.jobs) and it comes up with various listings. hope that's helpful!

Ok I'm like everyone else out there checking out any avenue possible to earn some type of income since I'm not employeed at this time. I somehow came upon this "opportunity" to work from home. Well I figured it wouldn't cost me anything to check it out. Sounded legit. I have sat through two conference calls. (did wait 10-15 minutes before they started) The 2nd call was to have an open forum Q&A with a mgr after. That didn't happen. I haven't submitted my W-9 as I had some reservations because of the SS # being sent to (not exactly sure where) I can't quite seem to understand who would pay for a job listing when they can find it themselves. Also, on the call it was stated that the "company" does push Education. Well if you don't have a job, probably don't have any extra money so who's going to pay for Further Education. After further thought and receiving text msg's from Kevin, Beth, Pam, etc all from either Career Network or JobNab, I have come to the same conclusion as others. When you go to the link to complete your application, you get the Education question along with another phising site. i.e. taking a survey to match you with your best career path. This isin't worth your time or effort, If you are going to do all of this research for positions, apply for them yourself and keep your identity safe

T N. i've mentioned it to a couple of other reviewers, but there's a new network of job websites called universe.jobs

maybe you can find something more helpful there.

i too got a text message indicating that a review of my resume showed a potential match. since my field is specialized, i thought it was odd that someone would send me a text message and not include any information about the potential job. i responded to the text message, figuring no one would respond to my question. no response. eight minutes of internet research suggested that the site is run by a guy who has been convicted for fraud and has been successfully sued for millions for his scams.
as the other reviews suggest, this guy is probably trying to get people to enroll in courses they don't need and can't afford. so if you want a sales pitch for some for-profit educational institution (as an aside, you should do some research on this phenomenon separately), go for it. if you're looking for a job, you might want to avoid it.

Spencer B. actually, it looks pretty nifty, and I'm seeing some of the same jobs that I see posted on some of the other sites, so I'd say there's a good chance they're legit. i'm definitely going to spend some job-search time on this one. thanks tran! i'll post back if i find anything fishy.

Spencer B. so far, it all checks out. i did find a listing or two showing jobs that were filled, but it's very well organized, intuitive, and as word of it grows, i'm sure it will become more comprehensive. definitely worth a look. i'll be posting a positive review of this website soon. start at universe.jobs and work down from there. very cool. thanks again, Tran.

I thought it sounded cool at first then when I got the email with the W9 attached wanting my information. A red flag came up!! If we are supposed to be independent contractors then why do they want a W9. I did not feel comfortable filling out a W9 & sending it to a site that I have no idea who they really are. That is just asking for trouble. I sent an email to fox 17 news.

Just received the same text....based on your resume you match a job I'm filling, if interested register at JOBNAB.COM....did a little info search and BAM !!! here ya'll are with the scoop...didn't even hit their site after reading these reviews...

A poster Googled the owner's name, and it looked very familiar. It's none other than serial scammer:
Alec Difrawi, Ayman El-Difrawi aka ...
Modeling Industry Scams - Alec Difrawi, Ayman El-Difrawi (Ayman A. El-Difrawi) aka Alec Defrawy, Michael Difrawi, Michael Chandler, Michael Jensen, David Mellon, Alan Madison: (This is from part of a link I found on Bing.)
I was scammed by his "Modeling Agency" garbage. They were looking for "Talent Scouts" for the "Wilhelmina Scouting Agency" which was a scam uncovered by the TV show 20/20. I lived in Portland, Oregon at the time. Right after the showing I called the "modeling agency" and quit! Remember Lou Pearlman whom got The Back Street Boys band started? He got involved with one of Alec Defrawy's scams and is prison right now. This guy, Alec, cavorts with convicted felons. He stays just within the law to where they can't send him to prison. I'm sure law enforcement authorities would just love to send him there. This guy is famous for his many types of scams. If you do a search for his name, all of those names are the same person. He's certainly prolific in his many ways.

David S. I'm just saying that scammers like you, IMHO, are attracted to each other. You hatch up get rich quick schemes for yourselves at the expense of innocent people, of which I'm sure that there's a special place in Hell for you all. If all was well with Wilhelmina Scouting Network, then why did they skip town after the 20/20 showing?
You can justify stealing money from others all day long, but the truth is just that. Someday, this will all catch up with you, and hopefully, you'll all be behind bars!
Like I said people, do a name search for this guy and you will see what a dirt-bag he is. So, common sense would tell you not to do ANY business with ANYONE connected with Alec Difrawi, or whatever alias he's using these days.

David S. The Portland, OR office closed down from their then location shortly after the broadcast. Finn B., I'm finished with you. Let others decide then. They have ample tools to do so. If they're smart, they'll have nothing to do with your ilk.
I could do more research, and get details of all of the wrongful deeds he has committed, but don't have the time. I don't get paid for all of this, but there are others that do. Obviously you are paid to run spin on Alec. I only used IMHO to prevent lawsuits from people like him.
There's no need to comment any further as I will not make anymore responses to you.

David S. I did a little more searching into Alec's dealings. Action 9 News out of Orlando, Florida has had complaints about him for some time. Evidently, according to prospective job seekers and his own former employees, he takes the information that you post on his websites and sells the info to technical schools as leads. The Better Business Bureau has a huge amount of complaints against him.
He, according to the news, IS a convicted FELON. He was evidently convicted of similar crimes back in the 90's, although he stated that "that was in the past". He has many different websites with different names doing the same thing. The news program stated that the business he owns out of the Metro-West Complex in Orlando was called Career Network, Inc. And, one of the websites was called Three Stars Media.
This is not my opinion. You be the judge.

My husband received a text message to log on to this site. Supposedly, they had received his application and they had matched a job according to his qualifications.

Well I googled this site and it so happens that many other people had received emails, and according to them its a scam. Just thought I'd share my experience with you.

I still don't know if its true or not, but I am not going to try it.

Thanks.

I received a text this morning. I am currently signed-up with several job search engines but know that not all offers coming from online or otherwise is not reputable. I looked at the company's website looking for a fee since usually job scouts charge for their services. When I didn't see one listed I decided to research more. I'm glad I did since I found this sight and now I won't touch JobNab with a ten-foot-pole. Beware.
