Your example is just the tip of the iceberg. I’ve been job hunting for about two years and have learned about at least a dozen different scams based on recruiting websites and companies. Posting a resume is like waving around a steak near the lion’s den.

The fact is, it’s nearly impossible to find a real job through websites like Indeed, SimplyHired, Monster, etc. because they are a target-rich environment for recruiting scams that exploit desperate job seekers who post resumes hoping to land anything they can get.

The only real chance is to hook up with a few different local agencies in your area (those that haven’t been quietly bought out by foreign agencies, and who don’t have a branch office overseas) and then hope you can swim upstream against the flood of H1B applicants who are really just economic refugees from their own failed countries.

The only real chance is to network with lots of people in your field, so that you can find out about openings and chat with the manager who needs the job done, and completely bypass HR and the "recruitment agencies". That's how I've found most of my work for the last 40 years.
