Maybe you, like me, have been getting a lot of “you would be perfect for this job” spam emails lately. These emails try to dupe you into thinking that you are filling out a real job application in order for the spammer to collect reams of personal information about you.
Usually, these fake applications for companies like PowerJobs are well worded and give off the air of having come from someone junior in HR. I received one today whose liberal use of poor grammar really made me smile. Here is just some of the text:

For first you say: Is it spam? Why are you write me? NO. It’s not spam. Our company does serious selection among candidates. And only one person will receive this post. We have sent out many letters so as to have many candidates for more detailed selection among candidates. The more candidates the more good employee we can find.
Your question: Where have you taken my e-mail? We have take your e-mail from the TransUnion. This company practises a credit history analysis of the USA citizens. Also we meet with approval this organization for contact to you.

I’m debating as to whether I apply with fake information just to keep the dialog going…
