202-403-0827

Got the call this AM too, the Career Network. Knowing the laws, I asked to speak with a supervisor. They were just suppose to be verifying information, right? The girl first time around, gave me another number to call. When asked to be transferred, they girl hung up. I called back. Got a lady by the name "Pinky". Asked if that was her real name, she stated yes. Went through the explaination again. She could not or would not give me any information but the name of the company & 2 different numbers to call. She could not even supply me with a physical address for the company. So, I called the first number: 678-691-4060, got a fast beep. Called the 800-875-5677 or the Career Institute. Got a little more information. Spoke with a Hannah. Told me that the Career Network (202-403-0827) was an outside 3rd party that they use. I asked to speak to a manager since I have not applied for a job in years, let alone use my cell on the application. I was told that the manager Mark Brown was in a meeting. I was politely asked to call back in a few hours to speak with him. I fully intended to do that, however I suggest everyone call Mr. Brown & complain. Maybe he will stop using this "outside 3rd party" to soliciate "students" to a crappy school.

This was a follow up call to an email I had recieved about a Logistics Coordinator position. They told me they were part of the Career Network and I had to be at a computer to complete the screening. Being at work I couldn't but I was given a number to call back to, 646-520-0697, when I was able to call back and verify. I looked it up and that number brought me here. as well as the number on my caller ID 202-403-0827. Sounds like a scam, I'll give it a miss.

I received a call this morning from 202-403-0827. I did not answer the call since I did not recognize the number.  They did not leave a message so I do not know what the call was about. I looked up the number and found your site.  Thanks for the info.

Called but did not leave a voice mail. Haven't heard from this number for awhile.

Got the call on my cell phone with a recording of the Brit asking me to "Hold on for important information from Career Network."  I let it go on for about 3 minutes while I looked the number up and found this site.

I don't know about you guys, but I've a program on my phone that puts numbers I don't want to hear from on a "reject" list.  They don't even get through to my voice mail.

It's a scam and a waste of your time.
Here's some info on Career Network. They're incorporated in Delaware, and operate local offices under this name, in various states. There are similar companies such as Education Bridge, Inc, based in
Bellvue, WA, that will be calling you as well, since these companies sell each other your contact information.  
Basically, they are advertising/marketing firms that submit fake job ads online, in order to get your personal information and try to sell you things.

Here's what I do:
Search through the Secretary of State's website for that State that they are incorporated in, for example, Career Network in Florida. Look up their latest business filings, and from them, you can get the name of
the president and officers of the company, and/or their lawyer. Call them and ask them if they are interested in furthering their education.
Or, do them a favor and sign them up to the calling list.

I got the same call at 3:48pm from the same number. When i answered no one was on the other line, they just hung up. The call only lasted 5 seconds. Their number is 202-403-0827

I got a call from this number too. The machine just kept on, I hung up. Everyone should check their bill, I heard they charge your phone for this. It's a scam....watch out. # is 202-403-0827 don't call it.

A brit-like accent for a D.C. number regarding a job nowhere near there.

May call back just for giggles.

Hey I called this number and I told the lady about this website she got super nervous and I told her if its a scam they are in trouble.. Try calling back by the way her name was Josefina..

they called and left no message. i dont want any solicited calls!

Called at about 8:20 A.M. PT. I didn't answer, but after searching the number and reading the other comments, I realized I did apply for a job and selected that I was planning to further my education. As long as they aren't looking for my information to commit identity fraud, I'm a whole lot less worried about it.

Got a call from this number, I did not answer and they did not leave a message.

got call from this number @ 3:45ish CST 7/21.  Left voicemail.  Live person (?), indicating needed to verify info I've provided for online job applications.  Even in the voicemail it said to hold for further information.  The call/voicemail ended.  I wish I could block specific numbers such as this.
