TopCV: Another International scam to to milk South Africans dry

I would like to warn South Africans subscribed to Careers24 to be on the look out for pop up messages from TopCV, an international company that is trying to scam unemployed work seekers to review their CV online , where they also use ATS to look for key words highlighting the strength of your CV. This is a scam! They are using South Africans high unemployment to their advantage to milk money from the poor. And a lot of people overseas are complaining about the poor service .

On the 4th of July I was on Careers24 checking my profile and then I saw an advert to have my CV reviewed for free by professional CV experts who will be able to answer your questions on why your CV is being ignored . So I decided to send it and the following day I received a message with my results from Katie Warren, who reviewed my CV and used ATS. All that I can say is that her review was full of insults than guidelines and it was clear that she down not care abouttemplates and formats that most South Africans use .e.g. She said I must never include Refferences or mention my personality . Because I had registered for Yest4Youth I could tell that this was a scam that was apposing this useful template . And Katie Warren wanted me to consider getting professional CV writers to write my CV and fix my "minor errors" at a cost of R500 to R1000.

I am now getting messages from her everyday harrassing me to consider getting a professional CV writer . I had already rejected her offer and told her that I will take my time reviewing my CV. I feel the need for tighter security because she might use all the information on my CV to harass me .

This has to come to an end ! Companies like TopCV are going to worsen our current challenges of unemployment and depression amongst the youth . South Africa should try by all means to get rid of such noncompliant companies.
