Another "WTF?" posting

Actually, it's an email with regard to a job I apparently applied for a while back:

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in our job opening.

Please can you upload your resume on our job application site. Sorry but we
no longer open resumes sent by email due to the threat of viruses. We have
previously received fake resumes sent via Craigslist which contained
viruses.

The application website to upload your resume is:

http://www.voomra.com/jobs/resume.html

We will also require job applicants to provide their credit score to prove
US residency. As a credit score is very hard to get fraudulently we have
found this to be the best method to determine someone's eligibility to work
in the US.

If you have not seen your credit score in the previous 7 days you can
download it for free from the link below or from the link on the application
website.

http://www.credit-score-us.com

Thanks again for your interest in this role and we will look forward to
reviewing your resume. Once we review your resume you can expect to hear
from us within 2-3 business days.


Kind Regards


You have got to be bloody kidding me. I'm supposed to provide my credit score to prove my residency? Me say fuck you big time!

Do they pay in credits? Is this a science fiction novel or a real job? Do they have an e-mail we can spam? Perhaps you should upload your banking information as well so that you may receive your share of the 9,000,000 dollars they can't get out of Nigeria.

Wait, the Nigeria thing ... that's real, right? Right?
