    They are called "IS Jobs", i've never heard of them and did a quick google and couldn't find anything on them. I haven't replied and they didnt refer to me by name so i guess they dont have much information on me either. Anyone get anything similar or know what this is about? Thanks :)

    Never had anything like that. Looks like standard spam though. I'd just bin it. What was the sending address?

    I think the crap grammar should be a dead give-away. If there is a link on the email, do not click on it but paste the link into google search and use inverted commas like "bitliy.is-jobs.com" to see if it gives you any information about the "company". Most likely it will return other forums discussing the same scam (not that I have come across this one myself)

    Yeah it's a strange one, i gathered it was spam but i didn't get any links or they didn't request any information so I don't know what the point of it was :pac: Their email address is webmaster@isjobs.net. I googled it but didn't get any results for it. Anyway thanks for your help :)

    Could be also just a test email from their side that went horribly wrong;)
