Indeed

This website is a great website to use for when you're in need of a job. They have businesses that are hiring on the website and give you a quick way to apply to them.

I received this email in my inbox (not my spam folder) from someone named Jason Whitman at employers-no *******@indeed.com:

"Subject line: please review your Indeed account contact information.

Dear Client:
Our team is here to help you hire and we want to be able to reach you by phone when necessary. A recent ruling by the FCC requires us to re-verify your phone information and re-confirm your consent to be called if the number you previously provided is a cell phone number. We will not be able to reach you at that number until you complete the following steps:

Please log in to your employer account.
Review the contact information you previously provided.
Review the statement of consent and if youre okay with being contacted by Indeed at the phone number listed on your account, select Yes when prompted to do so.
Please contact us with any questions or concerns.

Thank you,
Jason WhitmanSVP of Client Services"

I have no idea who this is or why they contacted me, so I can only assume it's Spam and should've shown up in the spam folder.

Clicked on the unsubscribe button. Opted out of the email. Also left a note in the notes field never to contact me again, and that if they did, Federal authorities will be contacted.

Also reported the email as spam through my provider.

I do not now, nor have I ever had, any account with Indeed. I have never contacted this organization and have no idea how they got my email address. This email from them is unsolicited and I regard it as a scam.

I am very dissapointed in Indeed right now. I've been a customer for years and referred others to them. I was literally in the middle of sourcing and interviewing candidates and just got a generic email saying my account was disabled.

Not only that, I responded to the appeal and I received another generic automated email saying that it was denied and ther is nothing else I can do?!

Then, I email my Acct Rep and I get a bounce back email delivery!

I was hoping that this was a terrible mistake but after reading all of the reviews there seems to be something new happening that is significantly messing up their loyalty and branding.

To think... I just recommended 11 other HR pros to them last week.

I am hoping that I at least get access to those we were in contact with so they don't think we are flaky. Completely disappointed that they would cancel someone's account without proper appeal and speaking with the customer.

When I go a few months without using the service, I get multiple calls then. But no call now? No personalization? No customer service?

I posted my resume online with indeed, the day I did, I started receiving phone calls from spammers from all around the US. I truly believe they are either selling your information to a third party.Or, spammers have access to your resume. Never once received a phone call from an employer. All the calls were a computer automated system. Who in the world falls for these spammers? If no one fell for them, they wouldn't be harassing people. I tried to delete my account and indeed has rigged there site to where it is impossible to actually delete your account, without contacting customer service via email. I honestly don't see how these companies keep doing this and not get sued. I have tried to use this site at different intervals and everytime I do, I get harassed by spammers. They always call when i'm in the middle of something. Personally, I believe we all need to get together and sue indeed for invasion of privacy. They say the employer cannot see your address or phone number when you post your resume on there site. I've contacted employers directly that were on indeed.com. They all said they did not have an ad on indeed. Com and they don't know why they have it posted on the site!

This website is FRAUD and they SCAM you. You call to set up an ad for your office and they let you know all about there 'deals and credits' but they do not tell you to NOT be charged YOU have to close the account yourself. We were told we were getting a free week trial since we were a new user so that would be a $50 credit. We were not told that after this week the ad would keep running and we would be charged $10/day. This is highly disappointing. We called the discuss this with the company and of course they were beyond unhelpful and would not credit our company back anything. We will be sure to send out letter to all of our Virginia and DC referrals to NEVER use this site and to always just use the FREE and SAFE and non SCAM Craigslist.
