866-603-4796

Call asking me to call in reference to a resume the observed of mine. And to apply at the following website newjobpath.com

Same Story (05/23/08 5:50PM PST): I got a call from this number 866-603-4796 - an automated male voice saying they saw my resume online and had a match please go to www. new job path . com and if interested, fill in the application.  I went to the site, it looks pretty complete, except it seems to carry a bunch of "scripts" vs. HTML so you can't really see where the info is going.  An initial search of this number prompted nothing but weirdness including this site.  I called the number back and got the same voice at "Administrative Careers", repeating the same info and saying if my call was not about the job, I could call the cell (a number of course I do not have).  I looked up the info on www.consumerfraudreporting.org and found nothing.  But while that site is often very savvy in reporting multiple scams (including those stemming from info YOU yourself put out there looking for a job), i bet it won't be long this info comes up on the site.

Just received a call from 8666034796, didn't answer it, but saw this webstie after googling the number. 5/23/08 8:16 pm CST

Just received a call on my cell phone from this same 866 number and googled it.  I live in Florida.  Thank goodness your notes came up!  Thanks for taking the time to tell your story.  Thanks!

Just got a phone call from the same number. Thanks to everyone above, I know who called. I didn't answer, and the voice mail was a bunch of weird electronic noises.

Just got a call but they hung up just as I answered. Googled and instantly got this site. Recently I applied to a job through NYTimes that directed me to a website saying I had to fill out basic mailing info for resume to be submitted--now I get spam from 'job' & 'career' placement companies...?

Missed the call and googled it-so here I am. It's Mermorial Day, I shouldn't be receiving telemarketing calls!

I just the call too! Luckily I didn't answer and looked it up here.
I hate telemarketers.

Just got the call too....didn't answer...google and here I am....

what is this exactly?

Well - It's nice to know that I am not alone.  Looking for employment can be bad enough without being bothered by telemarketers!

I just got a phone call from 866-603-4796 and googled it as it rang!  here i am on this site, they didn't leave a voicemail.  i wonder if we all have something in common where they are getting are number.  anyone have a resume up on hotjobs.com?  i took it off bc i was getting annoying phone calls from employment agencies etc.

Unbelievable! The job sites like CareerBuilder and Monster should get off their butts about issues similar to this. We put our resume on their sites for legitimate employers to review, and for them to contact us with legitimate job offers. We do not put our resumes to have our personal information sold to or borrowed by ILLEGITIMATE scam artists, trying to get another stone added on to their pyramid of life!

The thing that drives me so crazy about these "job offers" is why, if they are so great, do they not start things on the right foot, and honestly state why they are calling? Some guy called me once for a "PR Assistant" position. I went to the interview, and it was a group interview for Primerica, to become an insurance salesperson! What the?

Just be careful, people. There are some deranged lunatics out there with too much time on their hands!

I've gotten a few calls from this number which I've never answered.  It shows up on caller ID as "Toll Free", which I ALWAYS ignore.  I posted a resume on CareerBuilder more than a month ago.  I got a job almost immediately (on my own, not through them) and I've been bombarded with spam and unwanted calls since.  I've removed my resume from CareerBuilder, but continue to get these unwanted solicitations.  Most of them are from Primerica, just as SW33TN1CK above said, to see insurance.  Some of them are looking for investors of some kind (like we can make so much money investing that we wouldn't NEED to get a job).  I wouldn't use CareerBuilder or similar again unless they fix this situation.

I also received a call from this number. My resume is posted on Careerbuilder.  I didn't answer and they left no message.  This may be similar to many emails I get (usually filtered into the junk folder) telling there is "match" to my resume, and I need to go to their website and provide add'l info.  You may find a vague job description and the info you provide is sold to various marketers such as "start up" job bulletin boards as well as "Your warranty is expiring" type of scams.  Reputable firms such as CareerBuilder and Hotjobs with Yahoo don't sell your info, but it is available to anyone with an internet connection. Be cautious with what contact info is provided on your resume as well as any additional info you provide.  You're being car-jacked on the information super highway!

I just received a call from this number.  My resume is posted on Careerbuilder.  I answered the phone and got the male voice recorded message.  I thought the whole message was strange.  So, I googled and found this.  Unbeliveable!

just got a call from this number. answered it and they hung up. I also posted a resume on careerbuilder and monster.

Just got the infamous call right now from the same number 866-603-4796, I answered and the call(er) hung up. Did the Google search and found this info; yes, I have posted my info in careerbuilder and a few other sites, I do remember repeatedly solicited from for education sites, etc. Look, we just want a damn decent job, there is no money for you telemarketers or others, thank you!

i received the call around 1:50 pm pst about 20 minutes after uploading resume to monster. thanks for the help, i won't nock myself out to go to website. i agree with all above

Number called, I didn't answer. They didn't leave a VM, but now I know who was calling!
