In a few years, deaf people were a major target of Nigerian scam and lottery. Nigerians now are targeting desperate people who need a job real bad by posting resume in cragistlist. I just simply list what I can do but my personal information remain private. I did not disclose that I am deaf, but I did say I know ASL.
In the fact, it is bad idea to post resume in craigslist because of private information and lure scammer. I just removed the list cuz it is not good place to post anything in there even though i keep private information in private. I discourage anyone to post anything in resume category in craigslist. Also, never disclose that you are deaf in any categories because it is a lure for scammer. I disclosed that once long time ago by offering tutor for ASL and scammer contacted me and tried fool me, but she or he failed to fool me.
Now, I would like to expose the truth about potential scam. Some people tried do that to me, but they failed to make me a victim. Someone tried lured me and work for him for nothing. I posted ad to offer computer work in craigslist. Let me show you what he tried to do. There are several red flag that he is a scammer. He emailed me at first that shows red flag. Red words indicated as a red flag.
Attn Job Seeker,
I wish to inform you that you have been selected for an online interview by the company (Global Finance) in respect to the resume posted on craigslist job online, Hence, It will be required of you to set up a yahoo instant messenger and add up Mr Gregrey Barry on this Email: gregreybarry@yahoo.com for more details about the job and interview. Regards,Gregrey Admin. Error grammar and lack of information about the company. He doesn't ask meeting in person or do not disclose office's location for interview that is first red flag, but I am in game because I want expose the scammer to help others not to face the fate.
