Jobungo review: Jobungo.com posts bogus employment ads on Craigslist 33

I was job hunting and I came across this website, and everyday they send me job alerts about the ame jobs and location for the the job. This website seems to be a scam, and I hate that I gave them my personal information. Please careful if you get emails from this fake company.

I receive job alerts daily and they are outdated and I would recommend that people stay away from this site.

Stay away from them. Fell for it and regret I gave personal info. Received text from Smith and Noble HR. What HR would send text? Scammers... ugh!

I began receiving daily emails from Jobungo, a company I never heard of and have not signed up for email alerts. I finally opened the site and the first thing they wanted was all my info for a quick search and any job listed was out-dated.
I am glad I googled their name and came across this site, you confirmed my suspicions. Thanks!

Scam big time. I constantly get e-mails claiming I'm hired but I have to first provide all my sensitive information to proceed. Some even take the time explain that I'll receive payment via money orders, cashiers checks that I am to cash and distribute to charities. All sorts of different scenarios ending with my having to disclose sensitive information about myself.

Thank you to all who have submitted info regarding Jobungo. Last week I just started getting emails from them and just deleted because I never signed up for them. Today I was curious and googled "What is Jobungo" and found this complaint sight. You all saved me a lot of time and frustration. Thank you!

Scammers leave the unemployed people alone, need a job, not to be taking advantage of. Give us the free. (in my African voice) And stop calling me telling me you are a rep for the company i applied for, then try to get me to sign up for school, then when i tell you i don't want school you quickly hang up the phone, give us the free!

I agree, for a couple of weeks now, I have been responding to job openings that I was e-mailed, and when prompted to fill out apps or send resumes, you have to answer questions about school, and other adds in which all you are looking for is a job. Then somehow, at times, my computer tells me an error has occured, probably because you decline offers or do not pay subscription fees. Unbelievable, if you had money to accept their offers, you probably would not be looking for a job. Scam

I just wanted to thank the folks who put this information out about the scammers on Jubongo. The fact that Americans should be protected from people who try and use the Internet to commit fraud and deceit against honest people looking for jobs. Once it has been established that they are scammers, they should be shut down and prevented from operating where ever they are located. Again my sincere thanks and hopefully no one will fall prey to the scam that Jubongo attempts to use to gain vital information from honest Americans.

My husband has been unsuccessful in trying to find a job - any kind of job in the southeastern section of NC - he received info from Jobbungo yesterday - was excited that perhaps FINALLY he found something - the guy calls him immediately - wow - could this be - oh heck no - wanted to know if he wanted to go back to college - he replied NO - guys quickly hung up - yikes - isn't there something that we can do to shut these guys down?

I started receiving e-mails from Jobungo and when I responded they sent me to applicant tree.com who then had me fill out an online application. They asked me about schooling and cell phones, they also said I could get 500 dollars for taking a survey even asked if I use face book. They are a scam. Look up applicant tree.com and career-network.com on google and you will find all of these sites are just a scam. The alleged owner is known by our US government for multiple scams and was even convicted of a felony. Stay away don't respond back. Do your research on the companies they post like one they posted doesn't exists and another one the company does not exists in this area.

I want to delete my ad and can't find no way to do it. I understand it is a fraud.

someone help me, I do not know how to delete my account. can anyone tell me how?

Hey Spencer, why is it that no HR personnel in the companies you list have heard about Jobungo?

Hey Spencer, why the secrecy about how many levels to go through? Also, you send me job listings for Sumter, SC, but most of them are located elsewhere.

I am very upset with jobungo right now. I'm receiving all these alerts to my phone about jobs but when I try to go online on my laptop computer, the page freezes and i have to shut my computer down improperly. What is wrong with this website? If something is wrong with your site, then you shouldn't send out email alerts. I know it isnt my computer because i can go on any other website and it pulls right up but jobungo ALWAYS FREEZES WHEN I GO ON JOBUNGO.COM... FIX THIS OR I'M UNSUBSCRIBING!

Do any of the job applications from this website ask for Social Security #'s cause I was an idiot and filled mine in, I should have known better? Don't like reading all these complaints about Jobungo but when you really need a job you fill in the info asked.

man i wish i wouldve came here sooner because for the past week!...ive been gettin the same emails everyday about the same jobs and when i go to fill out an application it always takes me to this other spot where its basically a blank page and it will not let me go past that! i gave my personal information to it and still havent got any calls or anything!...i hope this website is not a scam because that would suck so bad

Spencer, Business 101 would teach you to take care of your customer base for repeat customers and referrals.

It would bother me a lot less if at least one link didn't dead end in a 404.

Just what exactly is your position and intent as host of jobongo?
You have a great idea and could retire wealthy if you could assure customers what you are offering is what they will actually be getting.
Shall we assume that Maybe you will retire wealthy and your real business is scamming?

P.S. Please note it didn't shock me at all that the link to unsubscribe at the bottom of your emails didn't work either.

Haven't gotten a job from the 'applications' on their site. You don't need to offer me a credit check when I apply for a job. Notice that their PR writers (Spencer) found this page and are claiming they aren't a scam. NICE TRY! Anyway, thanks for trying to take advantage of those who are unemployed and desparate to find work.

I got lots of email from jo bungo i really don't know how to delete all of this .could you help me pls, where do i click to delete my account..

Sorry jobungo you are judge by the company you keep. Like the others up here I was contacted several times for school. That's after I initially told them I'm not interested. They still called all of this occurred after applying to a job on your site. You can be sorry all day long or find a way for people who need jobs to not get phone calls from telemarketers (like who chooses to go school over the phone, a call they didn't request) as I say in times like this this, it's your business not ours find another way to pay for for it or get out of business. Just look at cable TV vs paid and or paid/ad. Viewers don't care about your business model. And in these days of the instant message you like so many firms are wasting time responding to people like me, I'm sure whatever the job is the investors set aside plenty of money for "web damage control" talk about chasing your tail.

I recently started going to company websites to search jobs posted at Jobungo and always find no openings for the positions that Jobungo sends me. It is also apparent that their real interest is recruiting for college(s). The "agreement" that is required when a job seeker applies for their postings reads that you are agreeing to be contacted regarding college offer(s) and there is no way to submit your application without agreeing. I will delete Jobungo from my address book so I don't waste anymore time applying for jobs through them. They are not interested in finding us jobs, it's apparent that they are recrutiers.

I've clicked 'unsubscribe' from jobungo emails before but not only did this not stop the emails, it increased them and added new spammers. Jobungo is obviously part of a spam network.

I am not buying into Spencer's comments that defend Jobungo.com. Legitimate sties take responsibility for their content. Thee are a lot of bogus websites out there to "help" job seekers with Schools that may not even be legitimate. Any website that wants you to take a survey should be treated with suspicion.

Dear Jobungo.com:

A legitimate website takes responsibility for its content. Surveys that invite questionable online "schools" to contact your users is NOT helpful to job seekers.

I found the website www.jobungo.com and thought to search for job through this website. I was really surprised, when it turned out that all their offers were fakes. They posted fake posts about jobs and wanted to get only personal info from the customers. I was shocked and have no idea how they use your info, but I wanted to ask other people, if someone found real job through this website. Please, post your reviews and comments.

After I applied a job and gave my information on Jobungo, I started to get at least 5 unknown / random numbers EVERYDAY. The calls are either about some education sale or they just hang up right after.

Your fake... There is no Spencer...and you are responding from a script.. You DO ask for personal info. On Jobungo & then u sell it... There are No good comments on any of these sites.. But Ian sure, now you will address that & make some up! Have a blessed day
Sincerely,
Spencer
PS. I already had my compliance team look into this.
You may also know them as the BBB

You are scammers..
Sincerely,
SpencerBc

I never signed up for any emails from them. A few days ago I started getting them and not even for the same city and state I live in.

Funny how they don't ask you to verify your account email when you sign up right?

Clearly they are spamming ### that create accounts from spammers mailing lists in the hope that people will continue to use their system and give them revenue.

Jobungo keeps sending me E-Mails every time i click unsubscribe they e-mails just keep on coming . Is there anything you can do to stop this company from harassing me ... Thanks Jay McDonald... jaykimsheba@sbcglobal.net

Jobungo is complete spam. They steal your personal information from Career Builder and then you're finished. How do I know they are spammer because it's impossible to block them because the spam and the junk comes from different addresses or email servers every time. They suck and the best part is they know they suck so why bother even ask them to stop. They just are junk and if they were real the emails would stop. Just like Johnson Jobs lol they probably are in bed together!
