The company has several false ads using and identity of ******, scorethejob, and possibly others. Reported the fraudulent ads to ****** who was hosting the ads. I saw one to work for Delta for $31 hour from home with no experience. I sent the ad to my wife. Who signed up. The ad then changes from what she was applying for to some random job with way less pay. Additionally, she is now receiving spam emails unrelated to jobs. I have taken screenshots of the activity. If you take note to the statement at the bottom, the site (which changes names) say it's ads are not endorsed or affiliated with any listed employers. In other words the job posting you think you are applying for is not an actual job, and they are just collecting your information to later spam your phone and email.

Better Business Bureau:I have reviewed the response submitted by the business and have determined that the response does not satisfy or resolve my issues and/or concerns in reference to complaint # ********. Please add your rejection comments below; if you do not provide any details, your complaint will be closed as Answered.
The source is ****** Ads, who discloses the company behind each ad. I was not affected by the scammed by the job site. My wife who I forwarded the link to was the one who was affected. ****** ads targets it's audience so the ads are more effective. This company is indeed responsible from the fake job applications. I have provided copies and evidence to the corresponding business, Delta, Amazon, and Frito lay. Additionally, it is clear I am not the only one who has identified this business as a scam business using fake ads. As their was another BBB complaint about the same subject. Attach is an example of how ****** ads identifies the company who owns the ad. Because I have been blocking these ads I do not have the screenshot of this business.

I would call it luck, but the mass spamming of these scam ads I highly doubt it. Attach is the evidence ****** Ads provided that these are indeed owned by your company. You can shee the website names for these two are jobhat and jobsflag. Can you explain why your company name is attached?

First of all, I don't know how I was signed up to a site that I have never visited. I've never heard of Career Boutique until I received an email thanking me for signing up for their site and to confirm my email ???? Why am I on your list? Also, who signed me up for your site? I also see that there are multiple people that have had and will probably have the same complaint as me. I know this is some scam nonsense and you guys need to be shut down. Getting signed up to a website you've never even heard of randomly out of the blue?!?!?!? Come on. Please remove any and all of my information from your site and any other site that you are associated with any where in the world. I don't who you are or what kind of shady business this is but its wrong ... extremely wrong.Business response

Unsolicited emails for non-active job offers. Intentionally deceptive branding in headline and hyperlink tags suggests that "************** ************ purports to be an agent of the ***********. Admittedly, a disclaimer is included in tiny print at the bottom of the email but clearly this scam outfit is attempting to prey on vulnerable unemployed people by misrepresenting themselves as an agency or division of the *********** (and likely other states as well). The open position for *********************** a company that no longer operates by that name. Percipio is merely trying to assemble mailing lists, directory information of unsuspecting victims.

I started receiving emails wanting me to view jobs from a company that's listed at the bottom of the email as Percipio Holdings. I have not signed up for any of this, and want this spam to cease immediately! I have reported this as spam through my email provider. I've also selected the option through my provider to report spam, and unsubscribe, but to no avail. Today at 3:56pm I have received yet another email from them.There is a banner in the email that says, ******** JOB DEPARTMENT. It then goes on to say that the ***************** is hiring immediately in my city and they think I'd be a great fit. Although as per the email it says, "...and we think you'd be a great fit." It's the word 'we', that makes it sound like they're connected to/that they are working for the *****************. Then there are links that are shown to be clicked on to view job offerings.The email that this is sent from is as shown:***************** is hiring @ ******** Job Department ************************************************ That also is very insinuating that it's actually the *****************. I just see now in small font towards the bottom it says, "******** Job Department values your privacy and is not affiliated with the state of Michigan." That's a direct copy from the email. After everything else, and where that is placed it can be easily missed, as I almost didn't see it.They value privacy?! They don't value anything, but falsely getting your information and spamming you with their scam. Even with that sentence in the email it's very heavy handed in portraying themselves as representatives of the *****************. Which is funny, because at the bottom it says they're in ************************************************************************************************* to be exact. According to what's listed at the very end of the email.As stated above, I want this to stop immediately. I also want to never receive anymore emails from these people ever again. It is unsolicited.Business response
