I had the same problem some days ago, then the notifications were fine, but the problem arouse again this morning and if I go to that job posting I get this: 'There is no longer - or not yet - a job posting in this database with that ID.'

I've noticed this behavior in the notifications since yesterday evening.
That job was posted by a scammer, which surprises me a lot!
Isn't Proz monitoring this type of fraudulent job advertisement?

Please check the notifications that came after my post. The issue was fixed today, sometime before I posted.


The job posting http://www.proz.com/job/2150570 has been removed by the site staff. As a result, you may see an error message stating: 'There is no longer – or not yet – a job posting in this database with that ID.'

ProZ.com staff does review many job postings; however, some may occasionally bypass the vetting process. Regarding this particular job poster, appropriate action has been taken.

Thank you.

Bests,

I forwarded a job post to ProZ support that may have been a scam right before I entered my personal info into their portal. I never received a response which surprised me since I remember ProZ support being very reactive in the past.
