Your Questions About Email Marketing Reviews

But I would like to know, is it a genuine e-mail message (alert) from Yahoo, or a phishing e-mail?

I’ve cut and pasted in, what the e-mail contained below:

Seems kinda weird… but is it? I don’t want to put in my password anywhere that comes from sbcglobal on yahoo…
It looks like an email from them has the little guy with glasses holding the letter and everything. But it’s kinda fishy due to the typos.

IS THIS A SPAM? OR GARBAGE? OR VIRUS?

Is there some type of scam with those “entry level marketing” jobs posted on sites like career builder?

Almost any time I’ve applied for one they send me an email saying they reviewed my resume and think I’m an excellent candidate. They then give info to call them and set up an interview. I went to one of the so called interviews and all they do is tell some vague info about the job saying they’re a marketing firm that promotes businesses and ‘they’re looking for outgoing people, are you interested? The guy that interviewed me didn’t ask me any questions other than that.

He then told me that this was just a meet and greet and that they’ll be calling the top candidates back in a few days. (How can you decide who your top candidates are if you don’t even ask them any questions or give them any info about the job??? Of course, I never heard back from them.) He then said “it’s easier for us to SHOW you what you’d be doing than to explain.”

The whole “interview” probably lasted no more than about 3 minutes. Another girl went in right before me and her’s was exactly the same, in fact I could hear him talking to her and he told her the exact same things.

Another company claiming to be a marketing and promotions company for cosmetics called me and they wanted me to come to an interview (which I decided to not even go to). When I asked the lady that called me what type of work I would be doing she just said “marketing” as if it was a big secret. What’s with these companies?? Are they just trying to get applicants in their office to get their personal info or what??

My husband said one of the places called him too and that when he asked for a description of the job duties they also just told him “you’ll be doing marketing for companies”. So he said he decided not to go forward with an interview because he wasn’t going to waste his time going if they’re acting like what they do is a big secret. What’s the deal??
