Guns, helicopters and bacon, what do you want more? And I love their logo[^], which got me to their page in the first place.
Nevermind the shooting and the bacon, just let my fly the heli

Hi All,
I was interested to know if anyone else has had a slightly strange Email from Total Jobs.
It read like a recruiter was just trying to finish my details I have pasted it below.

Total-bin-job.
It's either malicious (so your client blocked it) or it's a "fishing trip" to get you on their books. I hate recruiters: why don't they get a real job, as a telephone "your computer has a virus" scammer perhaps?

Probably missed it but the Shield that's an MVP, isn't it? Or have you been that all along?

I've been an MVP since 2011 ((Status page)[^] - but the sheild indicates Protector, it's a diamond for MVP.
If you hover the mouse over the symbol it labels it.
(And I've been a Protector for ... oooo ... couple of years, I think?)

That's not a good sign - you're a bad guy, remember?

Clearly spam. Dodgy attachment, crap English, odd questions, stupid empowering tagline.
Delete it, then delete it again.

Well, the recruiter obviously needs help, and can't find their brain!

I once made the mistake of posting my resume on, um, glassdoor I think it was. All of a sudden I got an absolute flood of weird spam job offers. A bunch were to sell insurance. Some were MLM type scams.
A few were "package forwarding" jobs. These are jobs where you agree to receive packages and then forward them to a third party. The job sounds very official with a job description and meaningless little category codes and such. I think what happens is you pay your own money to re-post packages that will turn out to have been purchased with bogus credit cards. Depending on the scam they either pay you with a "cashier's check" that turns out to be bogus (but you don't find this out for two weeks), or they simply promise to pay you bi-weekly and then don't. When the police come knocking, there you are holding a big empty bag, and the destination you mailed to was a Mailboxes Etc.
Posting your resume someplace means you're looking for work, and thus possibly desparate and susceptable to such a scheme.
Did the ad mention software at any time, or was it a little vague and general?

As far as I can tell I didn't apply for anything, I just registered on the Total Jobs site...
