So, I applied for a delivery job on...Friday, I think. Today I got an email in my spam folder about the job.

So, what do you think?

Reply asking for a phone number so you can confirm. Did you ever actually give an application to a company named Expert Deliveries, Inc.? If not, well...

It was a job posting on craigslist, actually. I'm going to go ahead and reply and ask for a phone number, though. And yeah, I did look that up and it also has me worried.

Yup, the best way to deal with unknown veracity when someone contacts you is to make the contact yourself through alternate means with a confirmed number.

The poor grammar alone would make me cautious.

That has scam written all over it. Consider this, even if it wasn't a scam, would you really want to work for a company that just hired people without interviews? No matter how outstanding a candidate looks on paper, I wouldn't want to hire a person without first person contact nor would I want to work for a company that did. Think of who you co-workers might end up being. The job market is rough right now, and while I agree work is work sometimes, I don't see many upsides to this letter and a whole lots of potential messes.

I dunno. $16 an hour for delivering auto parts seems pretty sweet. But yeah. I'm pretty sure it's a scam, but I am pretty **** desperate for a job at this point so I was hoping against hope.

If this doesn't pan out, maybe try LK's McDonald's in Mississippi? Apparently they're understaffed in the Ice Cream Machine Cleaning department.

That's a terrible idea. Raltar is gonna be **** everyone any time he's gotta clean the damn machine out and deal with customers.

Well, that will solve his money problems for 5-10, get him on a national list and teach him a trade. You're being scammed by the Russian mafia, http://spamtrackers.eu/wiki/index.php/Expert_Delivery

Yeah I actually deleted it like two seconds after you replied because while similar, I doubted it was the exact same thing :p

So, any developments?

I emailed them and never heard anything. So I'm pretty sure it was a scam.
