Not at all!
For since July 9th I have had 24 e-mails from several different Hiring Managers seeking my services.
Yes, indeed, twenty-four. Count 'em. In fact, here are their names:
Elba Calanche, Carl Arino, Jesse Euresti, Jordan Viego, Bobby Bobele, Aaron Batine, Lessie Porras, Bertie Galceran, Mari Alpuche, Paul Bada, Audra Rambonga, Luella Bonillas, Barbra Pajaro, Elba Ballagas, Timothy Oroz, Roy Vizcaino, Greta Togores, Mathew Lanuza, Alan Pedroche, Annmarie Baluja, Carlos Carcana, Derek Umpierre, Tommie Flandez, Tony Zetino, Nita Allala, Jannie Santisteban, Dale Luna.They are all "Hiring Managers with the International Student Exchange Center (EPSEC)" and in each e-mail along with the job description (which I can do from home), they state that "The starting salary is $31.28 per hour".
Well, where do I sign up? I guess I should just pick one of the e-mails and respond to it and give them all my personal details so that I can start getting paid the big bucks!
Strangely, each and every e-mail was tagged as "spam" by g-mail.
And they added a band of yellow at the top of each message with the following text: "This message was likely forged and did not originate from your account."
Why would they say that? Oh... upon close examination, each e-mail seems to have been sent from me (my e-mail address) to me. What? Oh well...
Oh, gmail, you spoil-sport! You non-believer! You'll soon see you were wrong...
I'll send you a postcard from the French Riviera not long after I begin collecting my $31.28 per hour for working at home!
