Complaint Review: Rustox Marketing - Pittsburg Pennsylvania

Unfortunately many of us are falling victim to this due to the fact that it is a "blind ad" (compnay listing hidden from applicant view). The only valid way to strike back at this is to deluge the advertiser by forwarding this bogus e-mail. Hopefully if enough of these come pouring into Victorias Secret or Cash4gold they will get the hint. (those are the two I have gotten hit with so far) I have also began sending everything in complaint form to Craiglist although they will hide behind disclaimers and basically call it a "buyer beware" situation. I am now being very cautious about responding to any ad that does not list the hiring organization right up front.

Hi i got this email yesterday and went the website for the free credit report and put my information in there including credit card and ss number i just found this website and found out it was a scam so what all happened to you? I think i am going to call and cancel my card i don't know what else to do I am scared. any advice?

I received the exact same response to an ad for employment in North Carolina. I thought I was applying to a "Bubbly Event Planner" position and got the exact same response. ************* Thank you for your interest and taking the time to reply to our current open positions at Rustox.

Here is the email I received which is almost verbatim what happened to Amanda. Thanks Amanda for taking the time to file this report or I may have been "ripped off" too.
