Credentity Solutions, Inc Think Credit Reports, Running a Craigslist scam Valencia, California

I responded to an ad for a job on Craigslist. I received an email in return telling me that I needed to go to this website (thinkcreditreports.com) and obtain a credit report in order to get the job application.

The email did not give any indication as to the name, address and phone number of the company that was hiring. The domain that the email was sent from was just a web page that said "under construction". I sent an email back asking for the name, address and phone number of the company but I didn't get any reply.

This is a pretty obvious scam since you have to pay for getting their credit report. I didn't go any further, but from what I hear they get your credit card information and then charge you for magazine subscriptions or something like that.

Again, that didn't happen to me because I'm aware that any employer that wants a credit report on a prospective employee will get it themselves. Also, any employer serious about hiring you wouldn't have any problem giving you the name and address of their company.

Beware.
