“They texted me with a message to my phone and knew...”

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.

“What a scam”

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.

Almost got sucked into this thing. I received a text message saying there is a retail position available for me without saying what company or even what state. I went online to jobnab.com and it asked me to register. I started by inputting my name, email, zip code and phone number and the next page asked me for my home address. I think that is a bit T. M. I. For a recruiter. Anyways, don't give out too much information whomever it is unless you know for sure. Apply directly to the company if you can. Similar site which I haven't researched yet that may also be SCAMS: career-network.com.

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.

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.

Jobnab is sooooooo fake! I never bothered with the interview because I knew when i got the (OBVIOUSLY) Indian response it was yet another fake site! If they want to interview, they will take the time to call you, in craigslist I noticed that all the legit jobs actually give a name of a company and a "local" contact number, never give your information, I have a special "Fake" email I use too when I am suspicious and sure enough, that email box is always FULL of garbage!

This is a scam site. It is just an attempt to get your information - which they basically initially steal from you by creating a phony job to apply to thus getting your resume, phone, and email which are of value. Total scam. The opt out email address does not work nor does the text message number. Anne is an imaginary person. I'm blocking them with my cell carrier and filing a complaint with the Florida Atty General.

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.

Unfortunately, with this economy businesses like Jobnab are trying to take advantage of people in desperate need of work. It's setup really good to get your attention by getting text, emails and a call but in reality it is all a scam. There are more recruiters now then ever before and they are willing to take your money and make it seem legal. I think websites like this who charge should be put down by the feds... What next? It just seems like it's getting worse...

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 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.

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.

I also recently received a text message to my cell phone on 1/3/2011 informing me that "according to my resume, they had a job that they were filling, if I was interested, I should log onto Jobnab.com and register." When I got on my computer, I looked up this site and read the reviews for this site. I agree with someone else that made the comment here~~who is going to send you a job offer in the way of a text message~~if anything, they would leave a voice message. That would be the normal thing to do. I deleted the message from my cell phone.

I also received a suspicious looking text message and went to the website just to see what it was all about. After looking at it I came to the realization that no one needs you to register to a certain website to offer you a job if they already have your resume with all the pertinant information on it. Sad that people would prey on honest folks just trying to make it in these trying times. Shame on them!

Appears to be yet another phishing scam to get your information to send you back to school. Don't these idiots know that even with loans and grants you will still have to pay back the money?

Note to everyone out there. You have probably come to the same conclusion that I have but if a site asks you anything about your education in the initial section where you fill out your information, avoid it as it will be a scam.

This supposed job site found me thru a job posting on craigslist. A fake company called Sterling Placement had a job posting. I completed the info and they said I could get phone interview right now, so I called thinking it was for a job and got side swiped with this "wanna go back to school" crap. Now my cell phone rings off the hook with these scammers and I am getting bombarded with emails. So watch out for Sterling Placement on Craigslist they give info to those jobnab jerkoffs!

They ask for you social security number, which like a dummy I gave them, I called, they ask if I was interested in furthering my education and when I said no I have never heard from them. The girl I spoke with said they would be sending jobs to me in 3 days, it has been over a week and I have not heard a work from them, Just another scam. I have closed all my accounts just in case they are into identity theft.

I set up notification by CommunicationsJobs.net, which sent me this "job lead." I got as far as the call-for-an-appointment part and was suspicious by then. My wife/job-hunt adviser said it sounded like a scam. "Sterling Employment scam" came up as the SECOND recommendation on Google, and here I am. Thanks for all the info. God, this job searching is such a minefield.

jobnab.com /aka career-network.com/aka skilledlaborcarees.com is totally designed to get you back in school, not find a job. Any company that contacts you by texting is suspicious, at the least. They do this so you have no way of contacting them, calling the number from the text gets your placed on hold until you give up. Registering at jobnab will get you endless email from schools. I registered just to see what would happen (using a new email account), checked the attending school now and got booted from the site. The new account still gets spam mail and I cannot log back in and stop it. If any one thinks otherwise, then just try what I did. I get 4 to 5 emails a day for the last 2 weeks and none -nada-zip have been job offers.
