Well, it looks like you've learned to keep your guard up now, which is really all you can hope to do. It happens to everyone these days when they put their resume up on sites like Monster and Workopolis since it's an absolutely massive resource for companies involved in the pyramid schemes, etc. to use with a large percentage of resumes belonging to new grads like yourself, who are often a little uneducated (in terms of the number of companies out there that are scams, not education in the post-secondary sense), inexperienced, and sometimes even desperate to find some sort of work.
