SPAM - Subject line: Your resume on the internet (medical job training available)

The email below looks like a scam to me. Think I’ve seen this one or one like it before. Marking it as SPAM so it gets blocked the next time around.

 

Hello,

I am a healthcare recruiter.  I saw your resume on the internet.  How is your job search going?  Are you still looking for work in your current field or would you be interested in a career change to healthcare?  There are many job openings right now and there is a huge shortage of qualified staff.  We are working with some schools that will train you for a new career in healthcare.  There are careers that range from $25,000 to $35,000 per year as well as careers that pay anywhere from $50,000 to $80,000 per year.  Many people also qualify for Federal funds to pay for the training.  If you are interested or you would like more information please reply back and let me know.

If you are not interested please do not reply.

Best regards and good luck in your job search.

Sincerely,

THE PHONE SCAM

Caution: New Phone Scam

Caller asked for Carly. There is no Carly at my number. The fast talking guy quickly transitioned to saying that the 'prize' is for the phone number and not for the person.

PRIZE: A $1,000 online shopping spree. 

What do I have to do to get the 'prize'? 

Subscribe to a magazine package of 6 for around $3.50 a week. Oh yeah, you need to have a major credit card too. Sure, let me get it out and give you the number right now.

If you encounter a call from 888-279-9221 you may be the target of a scam.
