Career Network Inc. They sent an e-mail to me claiming that I met the initial qualifications for a certain position. Orlando Florida

Yesterday (Sunday), I began browsing online for employment in my area. I came across a Receptionist position so I read all the details. The job sounded great and I was re-directed to their website to apply for the position.

When I got to the site, it looked legitimate so I entered in all of my information. After clicking the "submit" button, the site told me I'd get an e-mail in 24 hours with further information. Today (Monday), I received an e-mail from careernetworkjobs.com.



It looks like this:

So I clicked on the link it gave me and I was redirected to a completely different site. It then asked me to confirm the previous information I had entered so I did. Then it asked for three to five references including first and last name, phone number, years known, and what type of reference it was. I entered in four personal references and typed in their personal contact information too, not just my own.

I start getting this feeling that none of it's real, so I hop back online and google the company only to find on this site that people got scammed by this nonexistent company. Now I feel like I've compromised myself and those four personal references and I have no clue what to do.
