GrainCorp (GCP) Reports & Reviews (1)

I am signed up online with www.connectingcolorado.com used by the Colorado unemployment office for job searches. I received an email from [email protected] (see screenshot attached) saying: "Dear Applicant, Your resume has just been reviewed for immediate Hire via www.connectingcolorado.com and we believe you are capable of handling this position..." and so on. Then they say: "You are to set up a screen name with a Gmail account on (www.gmail.com) and then an hangout on (www.google.com/hangouts) and message Mr Charles T*** on (hrmgt***@gmail.com) for the interview and your verification code is (MEP-8803), this would serve as your identification number throughout the online hiring process."

I looked up the website from which the email came (gourmetselectronics.com), and it doesn't exist. Then I researched about job scammers using instant messaging to conduct fake interviews. I was weary about messaging Mr. Charles T***, but I did anyway.

That Google Hangouts conversation is the following:

Me: Based on my research, job scammers use instant messenger for fake interviews. Do you have a way I can confirm this, like by providing a phone number to continue the interview? I do not want to waste my time on my important job search. I left my last job on March 22, 2016. In addition, the email I received your information from is from a website that does not exist (gourmetselectronics.com). I was already weary of this before I decided to IM you.

Me: You must be a scammer since you aren't responding or typing.

Me: I think that was bs. I am reporting this company, all your information and this situation to the ScamPulse.com and unemployment office here. If you won't provide a phone number, then you are fake.

31 mins and counting... no response from "Charles"

I feel like my information was wrongly given out to a scammer by the state unemployment agency that I am enrolled through because of my being forced to put my contact information on their job posting website (connectingcolorado.com). I want this to never happen again! - *** ***
