Purchasing Manager Wilma Caton Job Scam

Here's another spam/job scam email I received supposedly from Beyond.com. Beyond is another one of those job sites, in my view that offer you positions but they don't really exist. What Beyond.com really wants you to do is return to school so they can market your interest to other companies.

A few comments if I may...

I wonder why you must be over 21 years of age. I think if you can fall for a scam you can do that at even as young as 16 years of age.

I really do like the quote, "We are keen to hear from talented individuals with proven experience in sales or marketing and ready to offer a brilliant development program for the right candidate."

If it was a real job it sounds very interested and in line with my experience. But sadly it's not.

What do you think?

P.S. I still monitor posts because of spam I approve posts even if I don't agree with the content. If you attack me personally more than likely I won't post your snarky behavior because I don't see the point.

Have a good week and weekend coming up!!
