Possible spam that sends detailed web site with job offers that are bogus?

I have recieved maybe 4 emails from site saying they saw my resume online and have offered high paying jobs with a link to a site to fillout application. But while continueing the app. process there is always the same field that asks if you want to own your own business. If yes you are redirected but never sent back to the ap. as it says you will. If no you are redirected to a survey site.?? This has become frustrating and time consuming All emails have the simiulatity of ending with the q/a about cont. edu. and owning a bus. Who can you report this to and can you find out who is sending?

Possible spam that sends detailed web site with job offers that are bogus?
Oh gosh, this is called phishing and they are really fishing for your personal information, more than what they've gotten off your resume. If your resume is listed with Hot Jobs or Yahoo, then forward each one of these emails to:


If you received an email impersonating Yahoo! and would like to report it please forward the email to:


mail-spoof@cc.yahoo-inc.com. If you have already been tricked into giving your password, please visit

and follow the instructions there. Also:

Otherwise, I'd seriously consider removing the resume. Also, this sounds like a browser hijacker, which is spyware. If you don't have antispyware, you need to get it installed and up and running. Get SpyBot Search %26amp; Destroy to safely remove spyware. Best of all, it’s free. After installing it, immunize the computer against over 31,000 known pieces of spyware. Then run a full bot check and remove everything it finds using the Fix Selected Problems tab. Keep it updated and run it weekly to keep your computer free of this stuff. Then get Ad-Aware also from download.com and run it the first time doing a Full System Scan. Thereafter, run a Smart Scan daily.

Keep them both updated and use them.
