Default Another Scam Email
I received an email from Mike McCarthy with McSourcer Recruiting and Staffing. The email looked good enough I have it below. I do not respond back to anything without atleast googling it. So I googled McSourcer and the first link is about the scam and here is where it lead me http://www.consumerfraudreporting.or..._mcsourcer.php

I believe that I received this e-mail also. I did read it, but then deleted it. There are so many scams that If I have not sent my resume to a company, most often I won't response to any that read "I ran across you resume on the internet, etc., thanks for the heads up.

Yes, Thank you. It surely pays to be on alert that everything in the world wide web isn't safe. Also not to be so vulnerable to every opportunity, no matter how great it sounds. Thanks again.
