866-994-0381

The number is from an org called work save retire.  I posted my resume on CareerBuilder and a few other sites and started getting unsolicited emails from various head hunting and less than scrupplous sounding individuals - price you pay for exposing yourself on the interwebs I guess.  Then yesterday, Bob Jones called from the above number and left a message saying they wanted to speak with me about my resume.  I called Bob this morning and got his v-mail, so I left a message asking him to get back to me.  When I got home this afternoon, Teresa from Work Save Retire left the same message as Bob.  

I figure their just mining the job boards looking for people to prey on.  No idea what their deal is since we keep missing one another, but they're either trying to sell my services for a bit off the top or a finders fee, or they're up to something nefarious.  Their website http://worksaveretire.ning.com/ doesn't give me much encouragement.  

Good luck!

Same experience and sequence of events.....except I didnt return their call

Same call, they gave me a recruiter who gave me access to resume software and a job finder gadget that have really helped me with my search.  The recruiter has also been helping me with strategies for my search that have really been working.  Still dont have a job but I've had several interviews and much more response out of my resume.

Yep. I have been getting several calls from them too.
You can tell it a sophisticated call center set up.
SCAM.

SCAM -  They are telemarketing my phone# everyday with "work-save-retire" ads. I had posted my Resume and phone# on Careerbuilder.

"Bob Jones" eh?  My cell phone voice mail was left by "Mary Smith."  Yeah, she wanted to talk about my resume.  I won't be calling them back.  Obviously trying to sell me something.

Caller left a recorded message from "Mary Smith" saying she has questions about my resume (which was posted on a job board). The caller ID said 704-612-2477, but the recording said to call "Mary Smith" at 866-994-0381.

Same old, same old.  I've placed my resume on a job board and "Mary Smith" has called me twice asking me to call her back on (866) 994-0381.  The recording of the call gives her number as  (919) 439-3666.

I called the number to see who was messig with me and the representative who answered hung up when I asked her who the company was and why they were calling my number.  Looks like she didn't wish to share their claimed "vast network and years of industry experience" with me.

Me

I got a similar call from Mary Smith and she left the 866 number.  I called back and got a totally different person who said she was taking Mary's calls.  I got the spiel about the job search but no specific job to fill.  To be part of their program I was told that would have to meet with a financial advisor in my area.  They wanted to  come to my home.  When I said no she suggested meeting in a library.  When I suggested that anyone who was in a business like recruiting that did not have a physical office to meet clients in was not a professional organization.  I spent about 15-20 minutes with this person and when she indicated they wanted to send me an e-mail with a link to their site alarm bells went off.  Maybe they are sending a virus or a trojan horse.  In the end the phone went dead so I assumed this sales person hung up.  The BBB gives them a B- rating.  The company is in Minesotta.  The information on the BBB site indicated they sold insurance.  I'm staying away from these folks.  Sounds liks some sort of scam.

I got the same message on my answering machine from Mary Smith. When I tried to call the number back it wouldn't even ring through.

You know have left me messages twice at work.  I cannot call you back and looked up your number and apparently this is some sort of scam, not interest in me or my resume at all.  I'm asking you to please stop calling me immediately.  Thank you.

Yep...basically the same identical scenario.  Thanks Me for posting.  It is sad that in addition to finding work during this difficult economy, one must deal with such individuals and companies.  It is no wonder we aren't all prematurely gray.

Got the same message as others from "Mary Smith" sounded recorded so I didn't return the call, but looked up the number - I was suspicious of the computerized sounding voice.

I got the same call, I looked up the number on google. Thanks for your comment it has saved me from calling back and going through all of the frustration.

Got the same call  and wanted to meet at my house. I said no so they want to meet on Monday by the  hosiptal. Had to do the retirment plan to get into the program. I too posted my resume on Career Builder yesterday. Man people suck when your down on your luck. Got down sized yesterday   SCAM

Received a call from "Barb" after my husband posted his resume on Careerbuilder. Had to push to get her to give me her company name which is "Work Save Retire". Asked if it was insurance and she said they are a recruiting firm and his resume was "forwarded" to her from Careerbuilder. She asked to have him call her back at 866-994-0381 but she was calling from 919-439-3666. Obviously a scam and he won't be calling her back.

left a cryptic VM saying to get in touch with them but no company info, no other info...very disceptive
I did just repost my resumeon careebuilders too, daily emails form peopel asking me to contact them but no professional info...I dropped Monster.com because of crap like this

Bob Jones, Mary Smith, ha!  Can you get any more generic sounding names?  Glad I have google.  Same experience as above.  Irritating and disappointing when you get a message about your resume and get this crap!  I have my resume on monster and careerbuilder and I never give out my cell to anyone unless I know them, but I do have it on my resume.  Grrr!!

I just got a call from 'Bob Jones' at Worksaveretire. Glad I didn't answer the phone!

They contacted me this week too.....and I am so glad that I found these post. They want to meet me at my house and a recruiter has called me....I will definitely be stopping this before it gets any further. Why does people have to mess with people when they are desperately looking and needing a job? Thanks again for the info.....
