If I, or anyone, wanted to perform a social engineering attack on any
of you, there are much easier ways... All this question of
legitimacy is a bit out there.

"[T]he people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
This is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being
attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country."

I received the exact same email and call but from a local
recruiter. Not sure where she found my resume, but it was an
Atlanta recruiter with Atlanta phone numbers. So it sounds like
the position itself is legit, but that does not mean that someone
out there isn't phishing for something using a legit job posting.

I think you misunderstood my post. I didn't say the
contacts or e-mails were coming from this list. I said
that I was getting unrelenting, unsolicited offers for
a CF developer in my area via Hotmail. I was simply
warning fellow developer's of a potential outside job
source that may be unscrupulous. I was trying to warn
you fellow developer's.
In brief:
I wasn't advertising my availability. I've had a
resume posted on Monster for years and never
deactivated it. I did however update it at one time
with my current phone number. That's why I am sure
this offer is coming from Monster records via the
Monster breach. I don't have any other resumes online,
nor have I ever posted a resume online other than
Monster. The number I have for the call is
052-174-294. I don't have the e-mail because I deleted
it. The e-mailer is definately an Indian name. The
phone call is definately an Indian woman. I received
the same message from this woman 3 times. The same
exact message. BTW - All "my" Monster referrals come
from "Monster Job Search Agent. Again, all my job hits
come from Monster! Not individuals. They are not
unsolicited. Do with this info what you will. If it's
legit I'm a dumbass. Kinda weird though that another
CFUG user has gotten the same messages, huh!
Same MO but different name. If this turns out to be
legit I'm going to feel like a huge ass but
