    Hi All, I was interested to know if anyone else has had a slightly strange Email from Total Jobs. It read like a recruiter was just trying to finish my details I have pasted it below.

    Quote:

Our company is searching and attracting the best employees for the most interesting positions in most popular industries. We've found a new job opportunity you may be interested in. After reviewing your resume, we can offer you a job corresponding to your qualification. The Employeer interested in your resume and would like to ask you a few questions. 1.

Your daily routine plan, for example: "7 AM I wake up, 9 AM I eat breakfast, 12 PM - I go to sleep" 4. Do you prefer to work part-time or full-time? Before you can change your life, you must first change your thinking. If you are interested in working at home and you answer these questions, the company will e-mail you detailed job offer description and you can get the job. King regards, Roger Damon Recruitment Coordinator VMC Recruitment via Totaljobs.com Job Request ID: 96751467

    also there was 'something' attached that my email client blocked. Odd right I tried to send it to Total Jobs and have heard nothing. I am getting paranoid. Cue Black Sabbath :~

      Total-bin-job. It's either malicious (so your client blocked it) or it's a "fishing trip" to get you on their books. I hate recruiters: why don't they get a real job, as a telephone "your computer has a virus" scammer perhaps?

      Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

          Clearly spam. Dodgy attachment, crap English, odd questions, stupid empowering tagline. Delete it, then delete it again.

          Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

                    I've been an MVP since 2011 ((Status page)[^] - but the sheild indicates Protector, it's a diamond for MVP. If you hover the mouse over the symbol it labels it. (And I've been a Protector for ... oooo ... couple of years, I think?) :laugh:
