American Airlines Craigslist Identity Theft Scam


I emailed a job on craigslist for a customer service position.
I was told to email them the application back.
I called regarding the interview and was told by the Airlines this is a scam.

I should of remembered from my Human Resource Management Class.
Only put your last four numbers of your social security number &
and leave out the year of your birth date.

Tamia out there has my social.

This was the letter:

I found others on Craigslist.
To find these scammers type in Google or Yahoo Keyword:
americanaircareers.net

There are hitting all the free employment ads on the site.
Los Angeles charges $25 a day.
They posted all on the same day. 11/11/08.
This means they have moved on & pose as other companies too!
I found these scammers also made made post in the Midwest and East Coast.

I called but the mailbox was full!

If this happened to you!
make sure to call Equifax @ 1-800-525-6285 to place a FREE fraud alert on your credit files. THIS AD WAS BOGUS. You only have to call this one credit reporting agency and they will report it to the other two agencies. Also report it to your bank, the Federal Trade Commission I.D. Theft hotline @ 1-877-438-4338, your local police dept. and to the Internet Complaint Agency On line @ Federal Trade Commission ID THEFT to protect yourself and your credit.
