Scammers post fake job ads; prey on unemployed

A new online scam targets the hundreds of thousands of unemployed people who use the net to job hunt and those who use it to fill job vacancies. Scammers are posting fake job ads on Craigslist and the big job sites such as Monster.com and Careerbuilders and then taking the resumes they receive and selling them. They are then sold to recruiters all over the world. These recruiters are told by the scammers that the resumes are all from individuals who are fully vetted and have been thoroughly checked out.
