I've been using an online source for a job search, to lesson the need for banging on doors and filling out applications, saving shoe leather and precious time.

As a result, this showed up in my email today, with the immortal heading in the subject box:

steel unemployed?

Our company name is xxxxxx, and our main business is to sale and to
collect ancient furniture all over the world (Asia, the Europe). We
distribute the remarkable sets of the furniture created by the demand

representatives of the Middle Age high society, each of which ordered
to embody
its position and the category in a complex stucco moulding. The ancient
furniture brings thevspirit of history and charming beauty (both

The post was unsigned. I swear this is for real, the usual edits put in by me to avoid injury to the party sending it.

Yup, things are surely looking up.

"The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades".

Um, sounds like one of those Russian or Nigerian scams where they promise to deposit $$$ into your account via a medium such as Western Union after you first write them a check.

I love the fact that good communication skills are a pre requisite for the job. I guess they have to hire SOMEONE who has them..

They obviously haven't hired a proof-reader yet. Spellcheck wouldn't hurt, either.

This sounds similar to a 20/20 program about a week ago where they tracked fraudulent purchases made using stolen credit cards. All the merchandise was sent to a small town in upstate N.Y. to a person who did not live at the address but the people who lived there would sign for it and when they had possession of the items they forwarded them to an address in Africa where the items were sold on the black market. The people who lived in the house in N.Y. were scammed into spending the $$ on the freight charges to Africa with the promise of a partnership in the business. Also the guy who was signing for the stuff fell for what he thought was the hot chick he was sending this stuff to. They IM each other and she would send these sexy pictures of herself to help rope him in. Needless to say she didn't look like that and he ain't no partner in the company.

Sounds like a sweet gig, man!

Seriously though, best of luck with the job search. I'm sure all of your hard work will pay off!
