Job and Recruiting Emails: Forsythe Recruiting .comHave you received an recruiting email like the ones below, claiming to be from
We have yet to hear from A SINGLE PERSON who has received a job through them. If you have received a job through Forsythe Recruiting .com or the others above, or have anything positive to say about them - PLEASE WRITE US! So far, all we have seen is very suspicious, at best. CFR RECOMMENDS THAT YOU DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION UNTIL WE CAN CONFIRM MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THEM! Do you have a resume posted online? We'd like to hear from you about your experiences recruiting emails that turned out to be scams or misleading - click here to write us. We suspect these are possibly a new wave of identity theft attacks. Note: There ARE legitimate recruiting and employment firms on the internet, and some with very similar names to those above. We recommend you check any company out before you give any personal information to them. If they do not have a posted address and phone number, or don't answer the phone, don't give them any personal information! The legal recruiters will be happy to give you contact information, return calls and act in the open! What to do, if you DID fill out their form:Report it to the following government agencies:
Below are a number of these suspicious emails received by our staff:
Observations:The email and their website have no phone numbers, no names of individual representatives of the company, nor a physical (street) address. That fact alone is normally a large clue to a scam. Notice that the email addresses posted on their website actually go to another domain, www.Stanford-Dale.com.
In Forsythe's privacy policy, it is stated:
So this "recruiter" is going to pass your email and contact information on to other advertisers who may then email and call you. That does not sound like a traditional and reputable recruitment firm, whose focus is on matching qualified job-seekers with appropriate company openings. There are a number of links within the Forsythe email back to http://www.subscribermail.com/, and email marketer. We don't know what the relationship is between Forsythe and Subscribermail, but again, this does not look like something a real recruiter would do. Finally, for a "recruiter" to ONLY require your name, email address, phone number, and zip code; and make option all the information relevant to a job matching process makes no sense to us, yet here is their application form. The yellow boxes are the required information:
Whois.org informationWhois reports that the domain is registered under a hidden (private) registration. Which means, they don't want their names available to the public: Notice also that the domain name was only registered on January 23, 2008 - a mere 2 weeks before we received the first complaint about them.
