Saw another post on HN talking about an employment scam. Since we're talking about employment scams, just a note to everyone. There is also another scam going around where the company runs a fake ad, the ad says they background check, and for you to be considered you must submit a background check with your resume. They ask you to go to anysitenamehere.com and get a copy of your background check. The so called background check site is just a phishing site set up by the people running the fake employment ads.

We're in the public records industry and have heard about this numerous times very recently. They even gotten bold enough to offer you a choice of several background check sites, all of which they control of course.
