Thanks, Wolf. I personally watch Craig's List closely and have already responded to the 2 first ones.
Nice of you to do some due diligence on the posters: Craig's List allows anonymous ads (see the second one) and employers often take full advantage of it so caution is the name of the game.

For those interested in the 3rd one, Securitech is a legit guard service company. Its current PPO is 14085.
I wish that, as per BSIS regs, companies placed their full name, address, and license number on all advertising, including their websites, but some don't (if you look closely, you'll spot the PPO # on a photo of one of their patrol cars...).

We have the same issues here as well.. Companies not properly identifying themselves, and trying to always cut corners.. The way I look at it is if you dont have anything to hide then you will put ALL of your information on the postings..

Yeah, me too. I often play detective and sniff them out via a clue they leave, like the last name of one of their company's principals in the body of an email addy, but sometimes they're just too stealthy.
I've passed on a few jobs postings because I couldn't tell whether they were legit or not. I don't feel like sending all my contact info, background, and even photos, to what could be a crook.

But sometimes, a bunch of companies are vying over one particular turf and don't want their competitors or clients to know if they have trouble manning a contract, I suspect. Or they are small and don't want to be harrassed/overwhelmed by a flow of resume submissions and questions for months.
The company who placed the 2nd ad you posted just contacted me and it is completely legit, for ex. Those dying to know can PM me. :)

Regardless of their excuse, it is an annoying trend: "You just tell us everything about you, and then maybe, just maybe, we'll be kind enough to reveal ourselves... IF we call back, that is!" :mad:
