Monster.com goes to Nigeria!
:
I was laid off on January 30th, and as such I have my resume on Monster.com and Careerbuilder.com. And of course, I have my resume available to anyone who wants to see it -- and my email is on my resume. Well -- you know those Nigerian Scam emails, which offer you a share of a particular sum of money, provided you send them a deposit so they can handle the currency exchange fee or whatever have you? I'm more than used to them through regular spam channels -- but was surprised to see one of these scammers contact me THROUGH Monster.com.
Fortunately I recently learned someone I went to high school with works for Monster.com, and will be forwarding this to him for handling.
