Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether AI resume-builder sites such as Resume.io use dark pattern sign-ups, hidden recurring fees, and unauthorized data-sharing with recruiters and brokers.

What Job-Seekers Report About AI Resume-Builders

Users report signing up for low-cost trials (around $2.95) only to discover undisclosed $25–$30 recurring charges and missing “Cancel” links. Privacy pages also reveal default consent to sell or share personal data with third parties.

Why Job-Seekers Should Be Concerned

These practices may violate automatic-renewal and dark pattern laws enforced by the FTC, California, and Colorado, as well as state privacy acts like the CCPA/CPRA. Misleading claims about “ATS-optimized” resumes may also breach false-advertising laws.

Signs You May Be Affected by Dark Pattern Sign-Ups

You were charged monthly after a small “trial” fee without clear disclosure.
You couldn’t find an easy online cancellation option.
You later learned your resume or data was sold or shared.
