At least once a day I get a piece of SPAM – usually from CareerBuilder – looks legit – until you open it – then you get an email that looks something like this:

All kinds of bells and whistles should be going off.

1. I never applied for a job yet that is the opening line.
2. “our staff is industry experienced”  – really in what since the name of your company and the product are never shown.
3. “opportunities right for you” – huh? the rest of your email sounds like you already have a job for me.
4. The whole paragraph sounds like a 7 year old wrote it.
5. I love the requirements and benfits…Yeah you can make that much money with no experience…seriously – then why did I go to college?

I have known people that get swindled into these scams – all I can say is if it looks too good to be true – IT IS!!
