Reviews and Complaints

Oh my goodness. I was contacted by him too. I sent him my passport photo. What should I do?

I received the same message. I asked if we could Skype because I couldn't give him a copy of my driver's license without doing this... I didn't hear back from him...go figure. If you ever receive a message like this from someone saying they are from ZipRecruiter it's a scam. I had this happen another time. I was just messing with him... I knew he wouldn't Skype. A personal assistant doesn't do the crap he was wanting done. He needs to get a real job!

Yes talk to your bank. They are prepared for stuff like this and will change your account number. And thanks I just hot the same email. I told him I don't give out personal info.

Hi Sabrina,
I'm so sorry to hear about your unfortunate mishap. Here in the US, where we are free to do whatever we want. For example, someone many contact you on the phone, they might say they are with a religious organization or maybe they want you to donate money to help the needy. Instead of calling you, these people sometimes show up at your door. They claim to be with XYZ Organization (Fictitious Name) and their walking around collecting donations for whatever reason. There might even be someone standing on the side of the road, with a sign, asking for money!
These were just a few examples of how thieves, scam artists, etc try and manipulate anyone who they think may fall victim to their scams. This is where you, unfortunately, fell victim to their heartless scam! I'll be honest with you, from this point on, you must, when applying for ANY job, do your research. If it looks to good to be true, it probably is! If you come across a job posting, and you're thinking about applying, before you have ANY communication with the prospected job posting, do your "due diligence", meaning, make sure you do your research! This mean, Reviewing a Business's Website to Determine Legitimacy (look for the address and phone number) If the job poster mentions a "REQUIRED" upfront cost before an applicant can proceed with employment. Here are several more examples on ZipRecruiter's site; https://www.ziprecruiter.com/blog/how-to-avoid-job-scams/.
I also wanted to mention that, unfortunately, ZipRecruiter has a "Terms of Use Agreement" that states' -----> "You understand and agree that you may be exposed to User Content that is inaccurate, objectionable or otherwise unsuited to your purpose, and you agree that ZipRecruiter shall not be liable for any damages you allege to incur as a result of User Content."
I hope you see this as an informative response to your original message and not as an attack. BTW...I currently work from home and I'm very knowledgeable when it comes to a business being legitimate or not! Feel free to contact me; jthompson61210@gmail.com.

Good Luck with Everything,
Monica

Zip Recruiter is full of scams im out of 3500 due to applying for a job that was a scam the application was submitted on the site. no background checks are done on these ads and that crazy. i went through 2 weeks of training from a ad posted and was scammed out of my hard earned money im seeking justice i think this site should be shut down

I am told by their company that a GS11 makes over 115,000 a year. Most make around 200-300k a year.

I searched for these HIGH PAYING GS11 jobs on their website but they only list the ones that pay 46,000 to 62,000 a year— well below the picture attached.

This is clearly a scam — remove the

Misinformation from your website

Company allows for scam employers to post fake jobs. Their customer service will only speak to clients - not job seakers. Beware!

We agree and had a horrible "customer service" experience with Joshua at Zip Recruiter in early Nov. 2020.
Almost identical issues. Someone inside must be training these customer service representatives about how to become extremely unprofessional, deceptive and practice rudiness.

I recently filled out personal information to post a job opening on a ziprecruiter website but when I read their terms, I backed out. Almost immediately I started getting SPAM calls from ziprecruiter soliciting my continuation of the application and subsequently and suspiciously started getting serial spam calls from someone else selling medical insurance. I seriously suspect that ziprecruiter sold my information to a third party. Any company who conducts this sort of serial harassment should be put out of business.

I had the same person, probably. She asked my email address when I kept repeating it at least 6 times. I told her she needs to listen so I don't have to be a broken record. She said that I have not told her my email and refused to spell it. My business I told her was Ace My Course which I told her, spelt it explaining it is a basic elementary word. She still didn't spell it right so I asked for her boss. She said she could not do that. I either had to repeat until she got it or she would hangup. She chose to hang up. I called again hoping to get a better rep but it was not answered and I was forwarded to directions or watching a demo to know how it works. Of course how will it do my any good when the lady won't even active it.
