MikeCahil@gmail.com: "New Jobs"

There are several different layers of fraud and deception when it comes to offering and applying for jobs.

This particular approach is via a spam, and seems to be a deceptive way of offering cheap Indian contractors to companies. India is very much a centre for spam because of very lax laws, in this case "Mike Cahil" is offering to fill roles in a variety of fields, but why would you want to do business with a spammer in any case? Remember the Boulder Pledge.

Originating IP is 59.164.72.134, a subscriber to TATA Communications in India. The netblock is widely listed as being very spammy. A poke around at blacklists indicates that 59.164.0.0/16 is a real spam sewer, and strict mail administrators could consider blocking the entire lot.
