Scam information

This content is based on victim and potential victim accounts. Government agencies and legitimate business names and phone numbers are often used by scam artists to take advantage of people.

Description

On 7/6, I applied for employment at City of Moundsview for an Office Assistant position (15h/wk) through the governmentjobs.com website. I received an email on 7/21 from the city of Shoreview for the exact same position. I contacted the employer letting them know they were not the employer on the job application that I had submitted. I contacted the governmentjobs.com website support team and they denied having any involvement with the job applications on the website. When I brought this up to the employer a 2nd time, the employer (City of Shoreview) ignored my request. Whether the city of Shoreview or the website is responsible for this bait-and-switch job application, both parties are denying responsibility. Either the city or the website MUST be held responsible for this employment scam.
