I will pay $100 per phone call for you to act as a professional
reference. I'll provide all the information you will need as well as
my resume. Then my prospective employers will contact you as "the
reference". I am required to provide a total of 5 references to these
companies but I'm looking for 7 individuals in the event someone is
not available or decides not to participate.
Reference 1. 10+ years of management experience with technology
expertise
Reference 2. Strong technical background with some management
experience
Reference 3. MBA and strong management experience
Reference 4. Strong management experience, business development a BIG
plus
Reference 5. 10+ years of management experience with technology
expertise
1. If you're interested send me an email including your resume. I've
already crafted a "Reference Profile" which includes everything you
need to know to be a great reference. I want to make sure you have
the correct skill set.
2. I will select the best candidates who most closely match the
Reference Profile and those 7 who are chosen will receive my resume,
the reference profile document and other information.
3. This is your chance to ask any questions relating to the profile.
I will also provide my real email address, cell phone number and even
IM name so that I can help in real-time, even during the phone call.
If you're still interested send me an email containing the name and
phone number you would like to use.
4. I will send you an email EVERYTIME I give out your contact
information and I will also provide details on the company doing the
reference check. Since it's in my best interest financially to limit
the amount of reference checks I will only give out your contact
information when I am close to getting a job offer.
5. Please try to spend at least a few minutes going over the notes so
that you can present well. Once the phone call is complete you then
email me some notes on how it went.
6. Once confirmed, I will pay you within 24 hours via Paypal or
check/money order within 3 business days.
Repeat steps 4 - 6 for EACH reference call.
If you're interested in making a $100 with only a 30 minute phone call
then send me an email along with your resume and I'll provide more
information.
I look forward to hearing from you,
I can't believe this shit. What happened to your 'real' references?

He apparently doesn't have any or has a very poor work record that he feels
he needs to pay someone to be his reference.

He's a troll, and if not anybody who has the character to help him
will use that same character to blackmail him if he lands a job based
on bought refs. Imagine five guys all blackmailing you at once!
Hey, this would make a good movie, except that Ernie guy died,
so we'd have to settle for Don Knotts as the star.

He should pay the $100 first, before the phone call.
Then we tell them what a slimy twit he is, and that he paid for this
reference.

Did no one notice that he is fishing for resumes? No one needs a
resume for the person they are giving as a reference. This guy's just
looking for someone desperate enough to participate in such a slimy
scheme, wanting to place them with some equally slimy employer.
