I saw this, but other than names and phone numbers, what else could they get? Your resume? Ohhh, I'm scared. It does not have your SS # or banking info or anything like that on there. Unless you are a real dumbass and are going to fall for a phishing scam, there is nothing to worry about.
 
a scam like a propective employer wanting to run a credit check or something....
And someone like Dano looking for a non union job....
