This is part II, for details of the scam currently playing on LinkedIn please read part I first by clicking here<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks to my kind readers I was able to send 3 bait emails to various ‘Global Resume’ e-mail addresses (USA, UK and Gulf) used by the Resume\/CV & cover letter review services spamming on LinkedIn. I used a dummy name, email account and attached a fairly decent copy of my own CV with some alterations to change identity and employer names.<\/p>\n

Within 24 hours they resulted in the responses below [yellow highlighting shows the difference between the replies]:<\/p>\n

\"USA<\/a>

\"UK<\/a>
UK response<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Notice that the email response from both the UK and USA email addresses are 90% similar, I didn’t bother posting the Gulf response but it was the same as the UK one except the prices were in US dollars.<\/p>\n

The same chap ‘Conrad’ responds to emails at all the addresses used. They all refer to localised versions of their review site ‘shops’ from where they encourage you to purchase their extortionate services. 60 Day Money Back Guarantee eh? So who is providing that guarantee – there is no legitimate corporate or business entity to back up this claim.<\/p>\n

The localised ‘shop’ links are as follows (please DO NOT follow any of these links and pay for any services):<\/p>\n
