There seems to be a lot of generic job postings IE on Craigslist. They want you to send them a resume through an email anonymizer that is part of Craigslist security measures they could get a lot of personal information about you this way. There is no way to verify who the originator of the “job ad” really is I look into these jobs this way, send an email from an anonymous email address disposable and just ask them to provide their credentials if you are interested in the job offered. if they are a legitimate company they will give you this info. I have found that 90 percent of the job offers posted are fake you will never get a reply and can not find out who posted the ad. Specifically the job postings where there is NO company information given in the ad. Remember if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

There are usually ways to make profiles private, but those settings have been known to change overnight with no warning, and their privacy is easy to get around. People have been known to make fake profiles of old friends of a target to connect with an otherwise private profile and get the juicy details of their life. Even if you don’t reveal any information on purpose, a loose lipped friend may let something slip, the profiles of the people in your network can reveal your location, even the pictures themselves can have GPS coordinates embedded into the code of the picture, which have been used to track people right to their living room.
