As we are committed to finding job scams, here is another alert for job seekers to watch for.
Some of you may know Kelly Services or Kelly Temp Services. The original Kelly Services provides temp employment, permanent employment and many other various jobs. They have been in the industry for quite some time now. Lately there has been a lot of scammers utilizing these big corporate names and adding just a small twist to its name in order to lure you to their site. We know it’s so hard to really pinpoint these people but when we get these, our staffing makes sure to alert job seekers.
Here is another one that claims that they have openings, however a credit check is needed. They are called Kelly Staffing Services. They congratulate you on your hire and then request you to sign up for the credit report. You should never have to worry about doing a credit check yourself. Employers are responsible for providing that info along with providing you a copy (if requested) of your credit report and background check.
Watch for these emails:
