Ooooh...I've been Headhunted!

or somehow this email has managed to get through the work spam filters! (given where i work, even more worrying!)

i did check out the company and they look pretty swish, but on account of knowing i havent submitted my work email address to any recruitment sites, pretty dodgy.

also, the email was sent from this address- please do feel free to abuse it as you wish

esther@estheralexander.com.au

Is your work e-mail online anywhere for them to have found? I'd be mighty suspicious but it does look good! Maybe it's a spam artist trying to find valid email addresses to hack. My old boss once had his e-mail hacked (sort of), someone using outlook set it up to look like they were him and spammed every possible name they could think of which could be in his company (e.g fred.bloggs@company.co.uk) unfortunately his email was set to pick up *@company.co.uk so he got them all. He got thousands...

I'm suspicious of the yahoo address at the end.

Though maybe it's also someone else you work with and they got the email wrong? I once got a load of emails regarding some sky adverts being made to discover it was my name sake who is a producer in London and someone had put my e-mail in thinking it was this other person with the same name.

Its fake. Been going around here last week or so. Bypassed our spam filters too. Looked at the website for the company and they are far too swish to recruit like this (i think anyway).
