203-768-3756

While at a job fair called Hire Live located in Orange County, I met a woman at the front of the Hotel where the fair was being held. She claimed to be working for a Marketing company hiring for middle management positions. Then she asked for my resume, that night the same lady named Mary Cacosa called and left a message on my voice mail stating, "My manager and I looked over your resume and we were impressed with your resume and your career accomplishments. We like to offer you a chance for an interview If you could call me back at 203-768-2229." I then checked the receipt of the message and a different number came up (714-924-3756).

The following day I returned her call she claimed to be working for a Marketing company called World Financial group and hiring for middle management positions. Again, her name is Mary Cacosa and she wanted me to return her call at 203-768-2229 originally she called from 714-924-3756. The address she gave me is 3350 E. Birch Street Suite 200 Brea, Ca 92821. The time that we set the interview time for next week--Monday the 17th at 1 p.m. I kept trying to ask more questions but the lady said to write any questions that I have and we'll go over them with you. She also wanted me to bring three references with me and to dress in appropriate business attire.

Thank you to all of you, for posting your past experiences with this cruel scheme targeting eager job seekers. For those of you who have not viewed the other postings--this company is only interested in collecting $100 to supposably run a background check on you.

P.S. The job fair I attended is legit companies who are actually renting booths and interviewing candidates seeking management positions for reputable companies. The lady I met was not at a booth located inside the hotel--she was outside the building wearing a business suit and walked up to me as I was about to enter the hotel. When I had asked her for a business card she reply that she had already handed all of them out.

I received a call from this very number from a woman. As previously stated this is a scam to get people to pay for a "background" check. No reputable company asks a prospective employee to pay for one. Good luck in your job searches...

Wanted to add that my phone number was taken from Career builders off of my posted resume. I am planning on updating it with an  email to prevent these types of calls as this is not the first and 3rd this week from various callers stating they were in the financial business.
