    There is this guy who sent my dad an email with his CV attached and mentioned that he is my friend. The problem is, this guy never even contacted me once for the last 7 years (knows me email) and now he shows up and calls me his friend. Me and my dad are in a debate I say he is not my friend and I dont need this type of favor friendship.

    He should not have mentioned that he knew you in the first place... that's unethical. You should get a job based on merits not based on who you know.

      That's a no brainer. -tell your dad to throw the CV in the recycle bin.

      Watched code never compiles.

          So he's lying about an easily verifiable fact - that just proves he's dumb

            Jesus, when are people going to wake up? Smack you father up long side his head. Does your father actually know the person? If so, why did your father and this friend stop talking 7 years ago? Was it something that this friend would send your father a little trojan to as some sort of revenge? Or perhaps, did this person receive a trojan of their own and your father's email addy was discovered by the trojan and now is trying to infect him? Tell your father to think. If the attachment must be opened, let google do it by sending the attachment to Google Docs or viewing it in HTML in Google Mail.

              Its a long story but my dad and his dad used to work with each other. I met him in school (my ex-friend) later he transfered to another school and never heard from him again. Now i.e. after 7 years he popups again.

                Find out why this guy is eager to send his CV to your father. Does your father own a company and this guy is desperate for a job? Might make sense - but then, if your father owned a company he'd get a lot CVs from people, I imagine. Did the guy get a promotion and send the CV to your father as a, "Hah! In your Face, man!!!1!"? If nothing else, just open it in Google Docs using the HTML view. IMHO, I'd say it's a scam. My father has been bitten so many times by scams that it raises my blood pressure to talk about. So, that thing I said about walloping your father up side his head, that was me picturing myself smacking my own father up side his head! LOL :P Parents just don't listen to their kids these days! When are they going to learn!?

                  I totally agree with you, nowadays I try my best to avoid endless pointless discussions with him because I am fed up with telling him just delete these kind of emails. My dad's position and a recommendation can get you a job in the company he works in.

                    Why be so cynical? Why not use this as an opportunity to restart the friendship?
