First Advantage Bogus Employee Screening Services St Petersburg, Florida

This company purports to provide employee candidate screening.  I received multiple phone calls from a call center staffed overseas inquiring for me to confirm that someone worked at my company.  I did not contract for this service nor did I recognize the name offered in the multiple voicemails.  In fact, the company that they claimed that this person worked at was not even remotely similar to my company name. 

So being a Good Samaritan thinking that a non-response would hurt whatever job prospects of the candidate seeking a job somewhere, I called the client service number provided.  After waiting for nearly 15 minutes without anyone from client service answering, I found a different client service number on the website and called. 

When I tried to explain the situation to the representative who answered and offered their company investigation ID provided and candidate name, I was informed that there was nothing that he could do.  He refused to take my number and forward it along to the screening team so that they might correct their records. Then he hung up on me.

This is as I can determine it a bogus screening service with a very fancy website.  Watch out.
