Easter Clean Up For Seek
March 24, 2008 by Geoff Jennings
I have noticed these type of ads appearing on Seek over the Easter break.
I’m not straight-up suggesting that the above advertisement is a scam, but it seems to be being used as a vehicle for promoting the URL. The site contains a few dodgy-sounding “work from home data entry” opportunities, and then some Goggle ads for ironically, “data entry jobs are scams”.The internet is plush with sites whose raison d’etre is revenue raising from ads or data collection.I think it’s time that Seek have an Easter clean-up.
Thanks for the tip Geoff – those jobs will be removed from the site very shortly.
Consumer Protection is something we take very seriously.
SEEK is in discussions with several of other job boards and interested parties to facilitate greater collaboration on this issue.
We’re working towards a more comprehensive industry-wide approach to this problem.
If there are any Australian job boards out there who’d like to join that initiative, please feel free to get in touch with me on (03) 8517 4100.
