When you're applying for jobs, you'll take anything you can get. It's such a tough landscape out there that it's not uncommon to apply to 50 jobs and not hear back from a single one of them. As the internet has made it easier to find open positions, it has also flooded employers with mountains of applications. You're likely to get lost in the shuffle, doomed to climb Sisyphus' mountain forever until something catches. That's why when you hear something you have to jump on it. No matter how much of a dead end it might seem out there.

That's what happened to one unlucky job searcher whose application process ended up leaving them exposed to some dangerous online practices. It goes to show you just how much of a wild wild west it is out there when you're on the hunt for employment. Read on for the cautionary tale.
