Some genius posted his legit resume on this financial career advice sub, then a few days later he finds out someone editted it full of racial slurs and fuck knows what else, and submitted it to every major employer in his town, who have now blacklisted him.
Even better- when he initial posted it all the top comments were saying "Dude, delete this post and resubmit it with your real name etc editted out", but he decided it was best to just ignore them all.

Is there a HR contact at firms in charge of applicants who have been black listed? Are blackballs from large firms company-wide or location specific? Need to do damage control.
I posted my resume on this sub about two weeks ago without removing my personal information for purposes of having the formatting reviewed. Someone took/made a copy of the resume and applied to 30+ jobs across at least 15 firms with my resume and information, but replaced some of the info with lewd language and slurs in a cover letter or the resume itself. While applying to the jobs they kindly used my actual email so I got all of the notifications that I had applied, which is how I know it’s at least 30 apps and 15 firms.
I received a few calls from angry hiring managers asking why I’d submit such info and if it was a joke. After explaining myself, I’m pretty sure they don’t believe me, which I guess I expected. One of the firms told me regardless of whether or not it was a joke, they do not wish to work with someone so careless with Internet security and as a result they would be blacklisting my name for future employment.
I’ve been attempting damage control to no avail when I’ve been called, but I have a feeling I’ve been pretty much blacklisted by all firms, though only one has told me such. I know it may do more harm than good, but I’m wondering if there is a particular role/title of a person who deals with such HR issues at firms that I could call from each firm and do what ever I can to keep from being black listed. I am sure general HR employees don’t have authority, but I’m wondering if Vice Presidents of HR or other positions exist that I may be able to send an email/call to explain myself. I figure I’ve got nothing to lose regardless, so damaging my image from a 1/10 to a 0/10 won’t hurt any because either way I’m not getting a job.
Beyond that, I’m pretty sure my name has gotten around in circles because I was suddenly contacted by a firm with whom I had one interview with and had scheduled another that they went with a “more qualified candidate” even though I had an interview three days later.
Charlotte is a pretty damn small town and all of the major employers have been applied to with this falsified info so I’m really in a bind to somehow clear my name. Specifically, Wells Fargo, BofA, US Bank, Barings, Regions, Ally, Fifth-Third, BB&T, Suntrust, PNC, Jeffries, and a few others that I can’t even think of right now as I type. Basically, they got every worthwhile employer and even some lower tiered ones.
I just purchased a home in April so moving would be a bitch, but if it’s my only option I’ll have to. That’s why I’m wondering also if blacklists are firm-wide or city specific? I.E. if I moved to a different city, would records even show my apps in Charlotte? I’ve applied to and interviewed at some firms multiple times and they have said they had no record of me even applying or interviewing before so I’ve always felt like record keeping may be not-so-great on a name basis, but unsure how blacklisting works since I assume I’ve never been blacklisted before.
Just trying to figure out my options for who to contact and whether relocating may help. I know it may change by firm, but I’m wondering which department/general title to start with? Thanks bros (except the dick that is using my information)."
(it's worth checking the actual thread- this guy trying to maintain dignity while the whole comment section laughs at him for being a huge fucking retard is pretty funny)
