Applying for Jobs - Be Aware!

Monster.com warns of ID theft

Responding to a growing problem, online job site Monster.com is warning new and existing users about phony job listings that are being used to steal personal information from job seekers.

The company has posted a warning on its Web site that read, in part:

"Regrettably, from time to time, false job listings are listed online and used to illegally collect personal information from unsuspecting job seekers."

The message goes on to warn users not to provide prospective employers with any information that is not pertinent to the job opening. Social security numbers, credit card numbers and personal information not related to one's work history should not be disclosed, the message said. (See http://help.monster.com/besafe.)

That Web page was posted approximately four months ago, according to Kevin Mullins, a spokesman for Monster.com.

Monster.com also sent a copy of the message to each of its active users in an e-mail message on Thursday, according to Mullins.
