But my momma didn't raise no fools (well, there's my brother, but that's another thread), which is why I try to be very careful about things like this.

Oddly enough, it's only in the last month that I've come across any sort of scam as a result of a Craigslist ad (I've been a Craigslist user for years, for buying and selling various things). Of course, given the shaky state of our economy and our terrible unemployment numbers, the scammers have a desperate/unsuspecting audience that will jump through hoops to be hired.

Clodfobble, thanks for the link! I've never heard of it, but will be sure to visit frequently from now on.

Cicero, I like your idea about asking for company verification before sending in my resume - can't be too careful, these days.

Thanks again, everyone!
