Type of a scam Employment
I was first contacted via telephone by this "staffing company" that had found my resume online. They told me they had a job opportunity through the county available for me. I would need just need to email them my I-9’s, and fill out a TB Test, and I would be contacted by someone to make an appointment to finish the testing, as required by the county. I naively sent my I-9s (personal info) via email, and filled out the request form. I was told I would be reached out by someone within 72 hours. 72 hours passed, and I received no contact from the agency nor any establishment that did testing. I contacted my staffing agent via email stating I had not received a call, and she’s replied saying she would contact them right away to get things sorted out. Over a week later, I still did not receive a call from either party. I called the main office only to be given the run around about what was going on. Of course, my agent wasn’t available to speak to, she was in another office in meetings. I was called back and told that the information was already given to me. I TRIPLE checked all of my emails, and I never received any reply from anyone regarding a contact number for this TB Testing facility. I became upset and told them I felt like I was being played for a fool, and would be filing a complaint. I had given my personal information, via an unsecured source, and was worried about identity theft. I was then told by a manager they would shred my information. I informed them I gave them the information via EMAIL, which was/is unsecure and there would be no way to shred the info. It was now available for anyone to see. I feel foolish for having given up my information so easily, but it’s a lesson learned.
