New Job

Yay, I've finally founded a job. It is signed for in contract form just yesterday. And I will be starting Monday. I was going to give up and I was so happy when I got the offer. 

The pay isn't all that great but it is viable and as I said " beggars can't be choosers". Many companies will take advantage of those who are seeking jobs in this economy especially those who are small and  privately owned. They are well aware of the unemployment rate and will get the best for the least amount of money.

But this company that hire me is a mid-size company that is located in mid town Manhattan. I will be working in the customer service/marketing aspect of it and what I found attractive is the potential in growth both for me and the company.

However, I will be on probation for 90 days much like many other jobs. I really hope I won't wake up late or mess it up badly. Another thing is that I found to be stupid is that after accepting the offer, I've received three calls for interviews from past jobs I've applied to. A part of me wonder if accepting is a good choice, could I have gotten a better one if I've waited. But another part of me is very excited about the job.

New Job Scams - Using Your Last Name Part 2

Usually scammers don't give you a follow-up email....usually......
But apparently this Marsha does. Today (a Saturday) I received an email from her and it said the following:

(My name) I sent you an email yesterday about a
possible position with our company. But I have not
heard back from you.

If you are still available please go to http://airpcs.com/
to schedule an interview and to receive additional
information on our company.

I look forward to discussing this with you further.

Marsha (My last name)
http://airpcs.com/



At first I just stared at it....thinking wow....then i got angry and decided to respond:


Hi Ms. (my last name) AKA scammer,

Stop emailing me!!!!!!!

And go f*** yourself!
 

Now hopefully, they'll stop emailing me. XD

New Job Scams - Using Your Last Name

I tried applying through Yahoo hotjobs last night and I received a new and smart job scam.

The email is from 'office@edmisongroup.com' and it read the following:

______(my first name) I read your resume and would like to interview you for a possible position with our company.

If you are still available please go to
http://airpcs.com/ to schedule an interview and to receive additional information on our company.

I look forward to discussing this with you further.


Marsha ______ (same last name as me)

http://airpcs.com/


Due to the lack of details, I was a skeptical but I decided to check out it's website and in truth it did have a form for you to schedule and nothing else. So I decided to google it and found a forum of people talking about this scam: http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/8013100437. 

Apparently, the name of the contact is always Marsha but the last name is changed to fit the emailee's last name. So for my email, they used my last name. 

I think it was something different from the usual scams and is quite clever simply because the use of your last name seems to lure you into thinking this person is real. (Especially with a Chinese last name as mine.)

All you scammers out there... do you spend like hours thinking up this stuff?
