Jobnab

To my surprise, JobNab still hasn't deleted my account since my request on 8/3/10. I'm still receiving emails. One email was from "John Wilkens" saying that I haven't completed the registration process and they needed me to follow a link to answer some more questions so that they may accurately match me with the most relevant open positions. There was also an email from "Greg Klein" telling me that "they" have reviewed my experience and think I will be the perfect fit for this architectural position, which I have no clue about. It says the email is from career-network.com, which I have never applied or sign up for; and it's in Orland, FL. So I assumed that this has something to do with JobNab. I requested for JobNab to delete my account again today. Hope they get it right this time. Oh gosh, another long wait again.

This supposed job site found me thru a job posting on craigslist. A fake company called Sterling Placement had a job posting. I completed the info and they said I could get phone interview right now, so I called thinking it was for a job and got side swiped with this "wanna go back to school" crap. Now my cell phone rings off the hook with these scammers and I am getting bombarded with emails. So watch out for Sterling Placement on Craigslist they give info to those jobnab jerkoffs!

Sadly, I was also sent a text message regarding a job, based on my resume, how nice they have a job need that I match. The sad thing is... I'm smarter and find the need to check things out as others I see do just to find out it's bull when I need a job and have the skills and get the idiots who prey on others misfortune. They should be locked up!

I had a similar experience to other posters. I found JobNab on Facebook last night and set up an appointment for a phone interview at 8:30 this morning. Upon waking, I had a text reminding me of the appointment. I called at 8:30 and got a recording stating that normal business hours were 9-7. I stayed on hold for 10 min or so, thinking that no small company is perfect and that they may have overlooked changing their voicemail message. No one picked up. I tried again at 9am and the same thing happened. I can now no longer reach either the site or the Facebook app. I agree with the poster who sais the site could be legitimate but they could be in over their heads. I am giving up on JobNab for now.

Appears to be yet another phishing scam to get your information to send you back to school. Don't these idiots know that even with loans and grants you will still have to pay back the money?

Note to everyone out there. You have probably come to the same conclusion that I have but if a site asks you anything about your education in the initial section where you fill out your information, avoid it as it will be a scam.

I was sent a text from anne called 2 times spent over a hour both times no one answerd just the play over mess. Someone will be with you shortly my butt! Don't send a text an call an no answer jobnab is crapp simple as that

I recently had an email conversation with the Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services. They directed me to inquiry with the Orange County Consumer Fraud with whom has overall jurisdiction about consumer complaints related to within Orange County. They also provided me with a federal website for Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), a combined effort of the National White Collar Crime Center and the FBI. Their website is: WWW.IC3.GOV. So, if you feel that you have been unjustly served or tricked into doing something that was not related to the original email that you received from JobNab.com. Make your complaint known with either one of the state or federal agencies.

I also received a suspicious looking text message and went to the website just to see what it was all about. After looking at it I came to the realization that no one needs you to register to a certain website to offer you a job if they already have your resume with all the pertinant information on it. Sad that people would prey on honest folks just trying to make it in these trying times. Shame on them!

Same schtick here- Cell text, entry form, call the number.

Young lady answered quickly.
School questions.
Affirmed a 3 day waiting period for listings in my zip.

I read above, where someone was asked for -and provided- a #SSN. THAT is a red flag. Since that did not happen to me, I won't get all hyper-negative-angry here. No point. Fact is, perhaps they're being creative with this marketing attempt. Better than an email spam I suppose, and if I never hear from them again, probably harmless. Lame-O insurance companies and even worse, nowhere tiny so-called "colleges" and tech schools are laughable if nothing else. Late night TV DeVry... Phoenix... just laugh and keep your spirits up, all.:-) tinyurl.com/marcsguitar

Like everyone else, i received a text message (totatally unprofessional) to register at job. Nab etc.
It is not fair for hundreds of people applying and seeking jobs to have phishing, scammers preying on people trying to find a job. Supposely Deb is texting me for a position she is filling in my area.?/ hmmm She text from this number *******890.

A real potential interested company would leave you a voice message to express interest in the resume or call to schedule a legit time to talk. I'm disgusted they have my resume.

Be careful and good luck to all who are job searching.

I did not go to the website, but I found it to be strange to receive a text message regurarding a job. I looked up the business and came across these reviews and I also received a text from a so called Deb, funny thing I have a totally different call back number. I am very uncomfortable about this and am considering calling the BBB. If they viewed my resume on the internet i should have been contacted by email. I gave no one my cell phone numer as a form of contact!

Nonsense, I think the job is a scam. I called yesterday for a training call and they forgot to do it, so people on the conference call starting talking to each other. Its was like, is this a traning call and people were like oh this is supposed be but, then this lady was like I started doing this in the beginning of August and I've posted about 75 jobs and I haven't generated any money. Then other lady was like I posted 50 jobs and generated no money, no check. I was like oh I posted 2 and I think i'm done. Then I found this website. And yes in the training class, they say you post the job, submit for approval(when verification agent calls employer to see if it is ok to post job), then if approved you can post job for a fee and try to market and sell these jobs. The problem is if after 75 job postings you haven't earned a dime, well, well, well there is some funny business going on here.

I recieved a text message that told me to get regestered and they had a job for me.
Now I thought I was already registered at this site along with about 100 other job hunting sites. So as I sat and filled in the info, they told me I was already registered. I logged in and found that they just wanted me to sign up for school. Scam or no scam? You be the judge.

When I set up my profile online I scheduled a time to call the office. I was told that this phone call was needed to finish setting up my profile and would take between 5-20 minutes. It took 20 minutes and I was on hold the whole time. I hung up, and I assure you, their office was not closed these were their normal business hours. Anyplace that would tell you to call at a certain time and then not answer is completely unproffesional. The whole time it felt like a scam too, I was contacted by this lady on Facebook whose profile looked fake, she was the one that pointed me toward this crap. I'm gonna ream her a new one.

I just received an unsolicited text mail from these scammers. I recognized the online address from my junk maik. I threatened to report them to the police and havrn't received anything since (fingers crossed).

Look to be honest there are many scams out there but there are few that are free and also have a free education connection. The conection that is given is if you want the service you do not have to take it. However if you are not working just a note if you are unemployed and getting a government check you will get more financial aid and can qualify for gov. Grants, did all you education avoiders know that. Today companies can be picky and the only ones offered a job are people with degrees or in the process of getting one. All the people who hate this site are the people who are not working and not doing anything to help themselves. So good do not go back to get a degree this will just help me to get a job faster.

I'm so glad I read these reivews before I called, well actually I didn't even call. I got a text message "reminding" me of my scheduled call. Once I read these reviews I sent a "STOP" text and proceeded to get 3 more text messages from them! I hate that all of you had to have this bad experience but I thank you for writing the reviews it saved me A LOT of time that I can now spend on serious job leads

I got an SMS message and an email from JobNab. I took a quick look at the site and then did like five minutes of research. Conclusion: Obvious scam. Even the BBB gives this site a C-. And that takes some effort for any business to get a bad rating from the BBB. (Important note: The BBB is not a consumer protection agency. They are a pro business public image marketing tool. If a business gets a low rating from the BBB, then there is a serious problem.)
Next I looked for the percentage of satified/dissatisfied users. And I discovered that up to %90 of users have complained about www.jobnab.com.
I immediatly forwarded JobNab's email to the FTC at *******@uce.gov.
Needless to say, I will not be registering with JobNab.

Thank you for all these posts. My husband almost got took and he was excited. Times are hard and everyone is looking for a job, they should be hung by their toes with fishing wire!

Thanks for the tip about the education question right up front. I was initiallly excited to get an email from Angela King for a consuling position b/c I have been unemployed for a vey loooong time! I thought it might be to good to be true? Peolpe like this who create bogus job opportunities are warped! People are desperate for jobs and really don't need this BS!

I had the same pattern as other people who commented. I got a text and replied but after checking the internet realized this site is a waste of most job seeker's time.

So I recieved this text telling me "I'm ANNE and based on your resume you match a position that I am filling"... As I need a job, I went along with it didn't recieve a response to my replies... She said register@ job nab I thought what the ****! So I did in a desperate situation that I am in there was an offer there to be a job scout there was a proccess to set up an interview for a time and date! I don't think that I will follow through with it though after reading the commentary! OH yes contacting you via text is soooooo unproffessional and down right questionable to say the least! There are a lot of tactics to prey on job seekers now so I will do my home work hope that you do also! Good Luck and happy hunting!

The site really takes you no where and after you sign in a few questions then a text later in the day might have something of interest for you. Go back to web site and will contact you there. This is a scam repeat THIS IS A SCAM and should be taken down..
