Last September I searched for a job. I found one company and I dialed the number.I was interviewed was told that I am already hired and all I have to do is wait for an email regarding instruction. No email came until now.
Seven days ago, I enrolled to an on-line biblical studies. There was this on-line application form I filled-up. Untilnow I haven't receive any reply or at least a confirmation that my application made it through.
Now I am worried because my professor in the graduate school told us just this last Saturday that there are those who steal other peoples personal information on the internet, to sell it to whoever-it-is-who need-it.
What should I do?
What of my colleagues in the graduate school shared to us she has an officemate who was arrested because of an internet scum, but swears that is not in any way involve or aware about it. It's a good thing her middle name was different and was released. but all the other information are the same.

there are information thieves.. personal information are very expensive, and spammers always buy them...those who collect personal information collect names, email addresses, home addresses, phone numbers, ages, locations, credit card informations etc... and sell them to companies and intereseted people...

There are personal information thieves as well as con artist who would promise you a job or a visa or would simply tell you that you won some lottery even worse you might end up getting an email saying some activity taken place with your bank or pay pal account and to set it right click at the link and login. All such emails or fake and dubious. I m soon going to put some screen shots of such emails on my web site to warn others.
