These guys aren't afraid to tell you they're from Nigeria. They have the nerve to send a PDF attachment. You should never open attachments from strangers, but you know that already (we hope), right?

You also shouldn't send your resume and personal info to a potential employer who has the gall to use a Gmail or other free Web email account. It should be an immediate red flag. Employers and recruiters aren't ashamed or discouraged from using their corporate email accounts to do such business as HIRING.

In this case, strangers are sending you an email, possibly knowing you're out of work or looking based on where they got your email address, and are hoping you'll respond out of desperation, because they know how hard it is for people to find work right now.

Please don't be a victim!

Message text:
PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE ATTACHMENT AND CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY FOR
SCREENING AND INTERVIEW.

SPECIFY YOUR FIELD OF QUALIFICATION AND CONTACT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

IN CASE OF ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO CONTACT OUR EMPLOYMENT CARE LINE.

ALL RESUME SHOULD BE MAILED TO zerocknigeria @ gmail.com

THANKS
PAUL WILLIAMS
ZEROCK COMPANY
