Warning about fake job ads

[Geoff Hart <ghart -at- videotron -dot- ca>]

Just spotted this on copyediting-l, courtesy of Ruth Thaler-Carter,  
and thought it was a good cautionary note for techwhirlers too:  
"Colleagues beware: Today's (Sat., Feb. 10) Washington Post  
"Business" section has an article about phony jobs ads for, among  
other things, writing- and journalism-related jobs... Listings  
appeared on Monster, CareerBuilder and Yahoo HotJobs. Those who  
responded and submitted resumes got spammed instead of hired, and may  
have had their personal identity info abused."

Ruth's wise advice: "... trying to check out any company you find out  
about via online job-finding sites". Of course, the clever con  
artists will still create seemingly legitimate Web sites, but doing  
some research will at least weed out the rank amateurs.
