Email scams?

[thecarrotdude]

I've been getting many emails from @live.com email addresses about job offers. I'm pretty sure these are scams but I've never received any spam emails coming in my gmail inbox.

This is the latest one. I've deleted about 3 other ones so far over the last couple of weeks.

Anyone else using gmail receiving this kinda stuff?

I started using gmail because it was renowned for having great spam filters.
I stopped using it because I received, over the space of about a month, more than fifty spam messages and scams - job offers, lottery wins, penis enlargement equipment/viagra etc.

Seriously, I'm surprised that this is all you're getting.

I received hundreds of spam on my gmail address every month...all of it goes to the spam folder though, so the filters are quite good.

..if a company does not list their address and phone number, they're a scam; plain and simple.

Poland Investments... that's funny actually!

Scam.

Have you posted your resume on any job sites? A legitimate offer would have mentioned the site they found your resume on.

Do you have any special qualifications on your resume that would indicate you'd be suited for a career in metals certificate trading?

A quick google for "metals certificate" found this link. The exact same wording... spelled S-C-A-M.

Run. Don't respond. Filter. Live peacefully everafter.

Well I do get all those other ones, but they go straight to my spam folder. These job offers, I've been getting in my inbox. I have been reporting them as spam so hopefully gmail will start to recognize them as spam
