[Mortis]

I just received an email from a company I was working with for the last few months warning me that there is a "Job Search" scam. I don't have an issue with them sending me the email, in fact I think it was very nice of them, except that the idiot that sent the warning to me also sent it to the $#%^^& spammers! So noe I am getting freaking email from them too, I have a few different email accounts and this particular one I use exclusively for work and contracts, now it looks like I'll have to deal with the bloody spam!

The email they sent to me (actually copies of the warning email) are below, if you would like to read them, I hid them to save space.
