“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.

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.

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'm so glad I read these reivews before I called, well actually I didn't even call. I got a text message "reminding" me of my scheduled call. Once I read these reviews I sent a "STOP" text and proceeded to get 3 more text messages from them! I hate that all of you had to have this bad experience but I thank you for writing the reviews it saved me A LOT of time that I can now spend on serious job leads

Like everyone else, i received a text message (totatally unprofessional) to register at job. Nab etc.
It is not fair for hundreds of people applying and seeking jobs to have phishing, scammers preying on people trying to find a job. Supposely Deb is texting me for a position she is filling in my area.?/ hmmm She text from this number *******890.

A real potential interested company would leave you a voice message to express interest in the resume or call to schedule a legit time to talk. I'm disgusted they have my resume.

Be careful and good luck to all who are job searching.

I scheduled a phone interview half an hour ago. After waiting ten minutes past the scheduled appointment time, I called the phone number for Robert Schaffer (given as the only phone number on the Contact Us page of the site). His mailbox was full, so I was unable to leave a message. I have read additional comments where those who were able to have a phone interview and go on to work for jobnab were not being paid reliably for their work. The bottom line, in my opinion, is this: This is a company which probably has a legitimate business and for some, may be a solid opportunity to earn some extra money working from home. However, the way communications have been handled imply that either jobnab doesn't have the resources to handle itself professionally (I have never heard of a facebook page being set up for any purpose besides networking), or staff sufficient to take on the high volume of responses they are receiving. I'm not willing to write this company off so quickly, but the fact that my interview couldn't take place because the company/Robert Schaffer can't be reached via phone makes me believe they may be in over their head.

Thanks for all your comments about this site. I was thinking about trying to be a job scout with jobnab but I got very, very nervous at the idea of sending the company a W9 with my social security number on it. This may or may not be a legitimate company but from everything I have read here they are, at the least, extremely unprofessional. I know I was pretty annoyed at going on a training call with them, using my cell phone minutes and having to stay on hold for 15 minutes before the so called training started. Just today, I tried to email one of their managers and was sent a message that there is a "delay" in getting the message to the recipient. So, legitimate company, maybe... poorly run, definitely.

I called and spoke with a person who I thought was going to help with a job. Just asked a few questions and then switched to hard sales on returning back to school. They will email you a few jobs but they are the same jobs that all the other internet job sites have as well.

I had a similar experience to other posters. I found JobNab on Facebook last night and set up an appointment for a phone interview at 8:30 this morning. Upon waking, I had a text reminding me of the appointment. I called at 8:30 and got a recording stating that normal business hours were 9-7. I stayed on hold for 10 min or so, thinking that no small company is perfect and that they may have overlooked changing their voicemail message. No one picked up. I tried again at 9am and the same thing happened. I can now no longer reach either the site or the Facebook app. I agree with the poster who sais the site could be legitimate but they could be in over their heads. I am giving up on JobNab for now.

When I set up my profile online I scheduled a time to call the office. I was told that this phone call was needed to finish setting up my profile and would take between 5-20 minutes. It took 20 minutes and I was on hold the whole time. I hung up, and I assure you, their office was not closed these were their normal business hours. Anyplace that would tell you to call at a certain time and then not answer is completely unproffesional. The whole time it felt like a scam too, I was contacted by this lady on Facebook whose profile looked fake, she was the one that pointed me toward this crap. I'm gonna ream her a new one.

I was taking up for this site a lot at first, but now I'm not sure. I started my orientation and training as a job scout for the company last week. I haven't been able to start my new updated training this week that they have because they are redoing the site.

I still have a job finder profile on the site so i've also been logging in to that section. I logged in today and saw a job post that I was interested in. As I scrolled down I saw that I had to PURCHASE THE JOB FOR 89 CENTS?! I don't understand why I would have to PAY to APPLY FOR A JOB? That is what really threw me off about JobNab.com.

Could someone please explain to me why I would have to PAY to apply for a job listed on this site or any other site? And if I'm paying is it guaranteed that I will get the position?

Hi all,

Just thought I should share this, since I live in Orlando. I don't know if any of you have Googled the address that shows up on your text messages from "Ann(e)", but I did, and I found this to be very interesting. The address belongs to Florida Website Design, 7635 Ashley Park Court, Suite 503, Orlando, FL *******.
*******107

The initial search resulted in this:

Hours: 8-7pm M-F EST

Credit Card, Money Order, Cashiers Check, Cash, Personal Check, Paypal

Florida Website Design is a full-service, Orlando-area Web Design and Internet Marketing company with more than 8 years of experience transforming business strategy into tailored internet solutions that meet your company's marketing needs now and in the future.

Then I searched further, and found Florida Website Design's website address: http://www.flsites.com.

So this explains why job seekers are being told not to contact JobNab directly. They give a tollfree number because they know that the phone calls will be going to this company and their scam will be discovered! I will physically visit the building next and see what's actually there, and report back. This is not the way to do business, by taking advantage of those of us who are out of work and seriously seeking jobs!
