Vickie, I think I have been scammed on the internet. Recently, unemployed. Looking and applying for jobs on the internet, and I received an email from Career Experts, a headhunter, they said my resume was weak and I should do their resume expert which you pay through paypal. I thought about it for 2 weeks and then thought I should have them redo my resume and make it strong. Well, have heard nothing back from them and I do not have a resume or a job. I just want to warn others about this scam.
Thanks
