646-520-0697

I got a call from 646-520-0697 this morning. In the beginning, the voice speaker said they tried to contact me before but didn't reach me (I'm sure I didn't receive a call from this number before) and asked me to wait for a representative and the phone would be recorded. After about 3 minutes, a lady talked to me that she would like to verify my informaiton which I applied for a job position online last week. She reconfirmed my name, phone number, email address and home address which is posted on my resume. She asked if I am in employment (NO) and said she will send my information to their Confidential Client for the job opening. In the last, she asked me to call 407-506-0349 ASAP to ensure I am considered for the job. I'm wondering if I should call. Did anyone call this number?

I also received a call this morning with an automated voice saying they tried to contact me once before but couldn't reach me. Clue one that it was a scam. I waited for someone to answer, but no answer. So I called the number back and when I finally got to a real person she asked for my phone number. I asked what company she was with and and where they were located. She said Employment Select and after hesitating said "Florida..... Orlando, Florida." In amongst my questioning her she asked for my phone number 3 times. I hung up immediatedly. BEWARE! I AM SURE THIS IS A SCAM!!!

I've received more than 3 calls from this number regarding different jobs I've applied for. All companies did not "wish to be known" and were using this 3rd party.
It seemed odd to me the first time how they kept trying to push a "further your education" agenda on me. The first time I made the mistake of saying yes, and received at least 3 more phone calls after that regarding education programs. I finally told them to go away.
The second time I said no to the "further your education" question and the call mysteriously dropped, as in I no longer had anything they were interested in.
The third time, was a repeat of the second.

It seems as though these are just phishing scams, though in these particular cases it appears as if they want to use legal means of taking money *ie student loans/grants*.

What finally set me off was another one from today. Saying "you applied for this job within the past 4 days" Which was a blatant lie, I hadn't applied for any job in the past week+ considering I am about to be hired with a REAL company back in Texas.

Beware this number folks, if there's this many questions about it, then something isn't quite right.

I agree it is a SCAM. I remember the automated voice asked me to get online when answering the phone. And the next day news said someone stole the password online that day. I am so scared that deleted all my email and change my password at once.

They called me at 1:48 p.m. -but didn't leave a message.

They called me at 9 am and said they had called me 2 times last week... tho I have been home for the past 4 weeks and the phone has not rang once. called them back and the phone cut out. Came to find out its from  a scam sight on craigslist. Yiu respond to the post and they email you sounding like a company and claim you need to go to there resume upload sight. You fill out the basic name adress phone number and past employment nothing personal.So best advice is stick to the news paper and ditch craigslist.

Go to https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ and report what you can on them

They called me too...has anyone ever received a job through this process.  Sounds like they just want personal information.

This is a scam. I have never applied for a job and my resume is not out there for anyone to view. I am a stay at home mother. I have gotten 3 of these called in the last week. I would like to know who to report this to. I do not take kindly to scams and would like to take these loosers down.

they had call for me today about 1:30pm... soo..i'm researching it sooooo...from all this comment i read...it's a scam people.

like to know who called

I am a professional executive recrutier and I also received a call from these scammers.  IF this was legit, they would tell you about the company, the position, benefits, etc.  They may not give you the name, to protect their commission...however, they would want to "sell" the company to you.  This is a scam for an on-line education course.  Which by the way, most employers don't care about.  They want their employees to come from accredited schools - not on-line schools...

I just returned the call to 646-520-0697. They are Employment Select and said that they are contracted by various companies to verify application information, which they did. They had all of my application info: name, address, phone, and just recapped it. I believe that function of the company is legitimate. However, they also offer some type of career counseling or other related service(s), which they pitched to me after they verified my application. I declined.

In any case, I was okay with them, and we'll see if anything comes of it.

Got this call re: an application I sent out.

Looked up Employment Select on Google.

Found www.employmentselect.com, which is registered to nameking.com.

A quick visit to their website shows that they handle clients who deal in bulk domains, specifically 100+.  No reason a legitimate operation would have more than one or two, unless they're in marketing (like when every Disney movie gets its own website) or a scam.

Don't be fooled, I traced this number back and found it is a cell phone in the New York, New York area. Think about it, what kind of company would call from a cell phone? Especially at 1am??? If you cannot call them back, that is another red flag. BEWARE!

I got a call from them based on a craigs list thing I responded to a week or so ago.  I told them no to the continuing education question, so they asked 2 more times.
No big deal.

Received a call from these people and I actually remember how they got my number. I am currently looking for employment on craigslist. I found what seemed a good position for a warehouse position. I sent an email correspondence with my personal work background (nothing personal.)

I received what at the time seemed like a legitimate response back from a person named Forrest Anders (see below)

I went to the link which gives a couple of details about the position, and then ask about your contact information (name, address, tel, etc...) I inputted my information but upon clicking next I realized it was a scam as they tried to make me sign up for some educational courses and other crap, they have since called about 3-4 times.

Please be aware, this is a Bait and Hook tactic. This is the transcript of the recent call I received from an automated system.

I have also received calls from what appears to be the same invidividuals but from a diffrent # (800) 973-0379. They left a brief message and the person sounded human!!

Yeah, I've been called TWICE by this number. No message, nothing but a call from some unknown number that I have not picked up and won't.

This company is bogus, do not give them any info, its just like those phony emails that want your bank acct info saying you are going to get money from a will etc.. Beware!!!
