All kinds of nefarious people post fake job openings that don't exist for all kinds of reasons.

Yes, I run into that problem fairly often. I'm especially wary when there is a job posting that never list the company name. Even one with a name but no address is questionable. And all those "work form home" scams

I didn't like how that article ended; that it's supposedly gonna get a lot worse before it gets better, but we'll see, now won't we?
