I recently read about a girl in humble who was contacted for a job interview, and upon arrival was drugged with tainted water and sold into human trafficking. If you are contacted about a job interview, please make sure the business is reputable, or find a job elsewhere.  4951

@cg99Would you please post the link to this story, as I have NOT seen it in any news, and this supposedly happening in the Humble area hits way too close to home, my friend....  @KingwoodDotComYo Joe...  Have you heard any news of the incident stated above, home-slice? 4951

It sounded a bit like an internet hoax, so I checked on snopes.com, but wasn't able to find anything. 4951

Speaking of fake job listings. Companies that use recruiters can be misleading. They take your personal information and transfer it to a potential employer. Some of those guys are phishing so it would be wise to get a credit monitoring company. 4951

I haven't been job hunting in a while, but if I do, I would only respond to and apply at well-known, very large companies, at the top of their industry. Sounds like this person maybe have been lured by a seedy scam from a less than reputable "company" and didn't check things out to start with, if this happened at all.  I still have some doubts. 4951

@BBQguy I think we found a job for you
 
@mm4731: Are you suggesting I get drugged and sold as a sex slave?? I guess it could be profitable if they pay by the pound. Emoticon

I recently read about a girl in humble who was contacted for a job interview, and upon arrival was drugged with tainted water and sold into human trafficking. If you are contacted about a job interview, please make sure the business is reputable, or find a job elsewhere. The way I read it is she was contacted for the job by a unknown company/person.It seems to me she didn't apply for a job, but someone called her. Maybe she has a resume online somewhere, but I don't know many places that go out of their way looking for employees. There's a very large pool of candidate, just post a help wanted ad. 4951

I doubt traffickers would operate this way in the first place, seems like they would prey on more vulnerable women, ones estranged from family, already on the fringes, undocumented, etc. 4951
