career network steals job listings from craigslist (on which they also frequently advertize jobs) & other employment sites, pretends that the jobs are listed through them or one of their dozens of link sites, and sends them via email to unsuspecting resume posters as if cn were the ones doing the hiring. if you apply, they sock you with text messaging charges, collect your cell phone info, throw up credit card offers, college pitches, and collect contact information re: your references - whom they also hit up.is it legal? whether it is or not, doesn't it sound scummy? and a scam by any other name still stinks. if you read their terms of service, it won't make you feel any better.
our advice: stay away from them, and tell everyone that you know to do the same.
