Thanks for helping with 202-403-0827. I'm newly unemployed also. I only received a continuous loop message on my cell phone, about 2 minutes long.    It smells like scam to me.  It is really sad that with so many people out of work, scams like this aren't reported more widely by the news stations.  If they do catch me on my cell, to verify this is legitimate, I'll ask for

Business phone number
Business address
State of Incorporation
Name of corporate officer or officers

If I get an answer I'll post here.  Like the person did earlier in this thread.

Recevied a call on Friday afternoon about 3:30 pm.  After I spoke with a representative, I also was really happy that someone was interested in my resume.  She said she was going to recommend me for the job and that the job was located no further than 25 miles from my zip code.  Now after reading these posts I have figured it out that all they really wanted to do was sell me an online education package. So needless to say I am fairly certain an employer will not be contact me!

who?  why don't they leave me alone?

i received a call from this same number. called them back..seems legit and they only asked what info i already filled out on the application. they repeated what i had already filled out. if this number was fraud they already have my info why would they call. they did not ask me for anything other person info. number is legit.

When they call asking to speak to a 'Verification Specialist' then that is just Step 1 to their scam. Obviously they already have all that info. on the job resume. If you answer 'Yes' to all that then nothing else matters, except Step 2 to their scheme. Don't fall for it!! It's best to pretend it's a wrong number. That is the ONLY way to divert anymore hassle. Also, it helps to call your local telelphone co. and place a block on the number. It has worked for me. Good luck!
