    I was thinking the same about them being a scam, or certainly advertising fake jobs to get details anyway. Applied for a job - saw maybe one or two others across a few sites by them but no more than other agencies. Thought nothing of it. Since then I've seen far more though. I think for the same jobs too.

    Some have been looking at these on the Ipswich Unemployed Action blog.

    As these ppl have been posting their URGENT- vacancies for weeks now, and must have had 0.5 million applications.

    Has anyone had:
    A reply from an employer via them,
    An interview,
    Or even started one of their "jobs"?

    Nope, just a few spam emails that go to my junk and stay there lol.

    One email says about a sister site for searching for jobs. X-jobs.com.

    That should also be avoided:
