I applied for a job through craigslist for a administrative assistant. I responded to the email and attached my resume! I received this email:

Hello,

The job will need you to work in a high financial environment so it will be our corporate policy that we perform a financial verification check into all staff to verify applicant registration info. Its company policy that we have applicants sent through our link so we are compliant with the U.S employment standards act. Please copy and paste this link in your browser and complete the free report now: http://syntexsolution.com/id.o32w91/report . Fill out the form and indicate that you want the free report. PLEASE DO NOT email us your report. Instead print it out and bring a copy for the interview as we must have it in file. Since this is just a pre-screen formality your actual score will not affect the chances of you being hired. Please take a few minutes to get this done now.

After finishing the score report please reply stating:

-The account reference number you received after you completed the credit check (we'll cross-check with our records at the interview).

I will call and confirm your interview upon finishing of the above mentioned.

Seems legit but then I received this one a few hours later:

Hello,

We would like to thank you for sending your resume to Ronsystems and Partners. After reviewing your initial credentials, I think you could possibly be a great fit for our company.

Our Human Resource manager would like to schedule an interview with you before she leaves for vacation early next week. You need to complete the pre-interview screening before we can schedule an interview, which can be found at http://orin-corp.org/application . Your applicant code is 143267.

Please write down your code, as that is the only way you can gain access to your application and employee profile. Once you complete your screening someone from HR will contact you within 72 hours to schedule an interview.

Respectfully

Okay, seems fishy to me. Great thing is I didn't fill out the credit report info on the link provided in the first email, because I had already ran my free credit report for an assignment for school. However I did respond with the report number and a time I'm available. :( I didn't give my credit card info, thankfully! Please watch out for this scam!! I told them I was reporting them and flagged them as well!
