I have been looking for a job for a while and instead of REAL employers, this scam artist from Nigeria, I believe where he must be from, has contacted and is pretending he has a job offer for me. But, fortunately for me, and too bad for the scam artist, I can easily recognize these cheating scam artists by their email and how they write their letters! Here is a copy of what this scam artist has written me:

It is obvious to me he is not legitimate by the way of syntax, grammar and style :-)
So, I wrote back:
You don't sound legitimate. You sound like a NIGERIAN CHEATER!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

I also got the same mail. They also called me and asked me to come for an interview but i refused. Here is a copy of email that i got

I also got the same scammer! He is from career builder!
I just received the same type of email from the same scam artist. And yes, bad grammar and not typical of professional response for a job.
actually the company is legit they sell life insurance been around over 80 years rated AA+ with the insurance industry and just had a mention in fortune magazine to 100 hiring companies listed as number 15 sorry all of you are so un trusting that you cant even show up for an interview . I am just wondering what you thought you had to lose by going to an interview it wasnt like they are trying to take money from you or sell you something it is a job offer . I dont work for them but did interview and now my boyfriend works there it was a way better fit for him and let me tell you the income has been great if you are willing to work hard and put in the time to build your business you can make bank. not to mention the conventions we have been to some really great places we would have never gone to with out AIL
I thought the same thing. Through my current employer I have American Income life insurance. Great company, and great customer service
There is a real company. But this is a scammer. Mine came from Paul Leahy. I actally did a hangout interview with one of these guys last year. I ended up calling the real company and making them aware. Its scammers like this that make people untrusting.
This is an Email Marketing using monster Resume or indeed. It is not a Scam.
I am not sure why the poster will suggest a scammer from Nigeria will send email about a job. We all get junk mails all the time, and in most cases we junk them. So if this complainant is suggesting they received a job email, why will he suggest it can from a Nigerian Scammer? It could be an email marketing to engage job applicants. The complainant should remove this post because it does not make any sense.
Here is what I received and I just think it is a recruiters Applicant Tracking System working for him:
"I received your resume online and I am interested in having you come in for a personal interview. I am expanding in the area and I am interviewing for both sales positions and management positions. I would like to talk with you about your qualifications"
Because it is a scam. Ever heard of human trafficing? I emailed back and the email wont deliver. Wow shocker. My email came from Paul Leahey. Someone from the real company would have a company email to contact. And a company signiture. They take advantage of people who are desperate for a job. I've actually done an interview with one of these type of scams. They wanted to send me a company check to purchase supplies. Luckily, I called my recruiter at Pridestaff. She had done the same scam. Only she attempted to deposit the check and her bank stopped her. When I told them its unethical to deposit company funds into my personal account and I'd open a business accout. They demanded I deposit it THRU THE ATM into my account.
I agree that they are coming from candidate job searches from Indeed or Monster because the email address they arrived at is the one I use for them. Careerbuilders forces you to use a different email address every time you cancel and then sign-up again and that is a different email address than the ones I got. Careerbuilders sells your info to 3rd parties and that's how I know when it's from Careerbuilders because the email arrives at a different address. I've received some emails where I have to create an account just to unsubscribe. Between the lack of employment search results and this 3rd party crap, I will never use Careerbuilders again. Too bad because they were once a good site many years ago but have gone downhill in a really bad way at least for my job searches. I received 7 of these emails with the domain of tmkrms.com in one day. From my previous exposure to Direct Marketing, this then smelled of a system that people just bought into not some Nigerian scam as they traditionally are attempting to get money out of you. From the quick research I've done so far it's appearing to be more of an affiliate company that has recently done some kind of ad campaign. The biggest identifier of this is all of them have the same domain even though they are promoting different companies. After I did a little bit of digging around I found that tmkrms is associated with Torchmark Corporations which came from the WHOIS information. I know the site tmkrms.com is an affiliate site because when the tab is my browser shows "Join Our Sales" and when I hover my mouse over it, then it shows "Join Our Sales Team - Torchmark Affiliate Companies". This is also in the browser header code which you can see by doing "Ctrl+U". Further down in my search results is a link to torchmarkcareers.silkroad.com which show the Torchmark Corporation logo with social media links. I took a look at their LinkedIn profile. This URL for torchmarkcareers is a subdomain so I looked into who silkroad.com com is. Wikipedia says, "SilkRoad, Inc. is an American multinational human capital management software company. SilkRoad provides cloud-based HR software solutions that enable customers to find, attract, develop, and retain talent." So that just indicates that they are using this site for career development. Within these same search results for "tmkrms.com" is a link to torchmarkcorp.com. At this site you quickly see that Torchmark Corporation is a publicly traded company with the stock ticker of TMK. I discovered all of this in less than 30 mins of investigation so the original complaint being a Nigerian scam is just a shoot from the hip response that didn't look into this at all. Part of the online job search deals with legitimate insurance and financial investment opportunities. I used to get them from AFLAC and now they're coming from Farmers and American Family Insurance and a couple of others that are not so well known. The problem I have with these emails and the affiliate website is that is looks like a scam site and that's because of all the years of these type of affiliate sites that did scam to some degree. I've been interested in Direct Marketing for a long time and have taken part in some of these things where the seller of the system gets rich of of the opportunity given. It's not that the opportunity isn't viable but you make more money selling the idea than the process itself. From my quickie research I can now say that these are legitimate people just looking for a way to earn self-employed independent income in what has become known as the Gig Economy yet the marketing for a publicly traded company as large as Torchmark Corporation is deplorable and hurts these affiliates seeking income generating opportunities due to this. One of the companies that approached me that I had never heard of had a website informative enough for me to understand what it was about. I'm not personally interested in these types of things yet if Torchmark Corporation has any concern for its affiliates then they need to create a much better looking AND informative version of tmkrms.com so that those who may be seeking this type of work won't be put off. It sure would help the recruitment process for sure.
My reply to this email (mine from Paul Leahy) was undeliverable. From my past experience, yes there is a legit company. But if the email was from a recruiter from American Life Ins., then anyone from that company would use company email. Not gmail or tm.ktm whatever. Especially fortune 500's. Even a hotmail or outlook. Scammer have figured out that people will verify if its a real company contact. One scammer I actaully interviewed with did that. But 1st red flag (besides being written in broken english) I was offered reception, admin asst., or data entry...all paying the same wage: $17/hr. Then they demanded I deposit their company ck in my acct. via the atm. It sucks when your really wanting a job!
Thank you very much, Jeff. You did a fantastic job of conducting research and graciously sharing your insights in order to set the record straight. Bravo to you, sir! I wish there were more people online willing to invest the time and effort to ensure accuracy in matters that concern readers - vs. "shooting from the hip" with unfounded suppositions.
Have a great day and thanks again!
No way this is legitimate insurance. I phoned the number offered in the email and got voicemail that belonged to a different name than the email identified. I replied to the email and it bounced back. I visited tmkrms.com and the site's maintenance page is up. Maybe not Nigerian, but definitely not on the up and up, so I regret that they have my name, phone number, county, and email now.
I have been getting these emails as well. If it was a legitimate offer, the link to their career website would not have tmkrms.com as the start of the hyperlink. The actual insurance company uses https://agency.Some-Name-Of-An-Actual-Insurance-Company.com. I've had three different companies listed and all from tmkrms.com.
My email also said it was from "Ken Matson" but the body of the email had "Ryan Davidson" (I have changed his last name here) in the signature area. Ryan is a real person at the insurance company listed on the email. So why does the email come from "Ken"?
Don't click on any link you don't trust. If you really want a job with a company, find their official website and then locate their career section or direct email address to the company.
I received the same exact same email but from a Sinrad Satti... HumanResources-AILC2@tmkrms.com
