3. looks fishy
1 - why is Google not using a Google web address?

2 - they can't even spell correctly - "Join there Team"??
should be "their". Thats a big red flag.

I wouldnt waste my time on it.

7. Here's the page for contact re: Google
Edited on Mon May-07-07 11:43 AM by Whoa_Nelly
and they do hire, as per the the link on this same page

http://www.google.com/intl/en/contact/index.html

Seems like a strange thing you got re: hiring.

Maybe report it to Google...?

On edit:
And here's the page for security breach reporting
http://www.google.com/intl/en/contact/security.html

12. I've been getting a buttload of offers like that from eBay lately.
Actually, I've been getting A LOT of extra spam shit since about the time I joined DU. Perhaps it is just a coincidence ....

16. It's a spambot...
...the links go to 'ourglowingcaps.com' owned by BlueLightFreebieDeals, Riverhead, NY. They take you E-mail addy and send you junk.
