News: Monster.com warns of ID theft
In an attempt to curb identity theft on its service, online career listing site Monster.com has begun warning its users of fake job postings bent on stealing personal information.

The largest U.S. online job board, a division of TMP Worldwide, sent e-mails to its users this week telling them that fraudulent job positions were being posted as a way to obtain personal information. The e-mail offered suggestions to prevent theft, such as never revealing social security, credit card or nonwork-related information to potential employers.

"Regrettably, from time to time, false job postings are listed online and used to illegally collect personal information from unsuspecting job seekers," according to a copy of the e-mail forwarded by a reader. "The placement of such false job postings is a violation of the Monster terms of use and may also be a criminal violation of federal and/or state law."
