This is a new one; what do they want?
Every now and then I like to dip into my "junk" email folder to see what new and interesting spam I'm receiving these days. Most of them are not new or interesting. But today I received an odd one, even for spam. And I'm not entirely sure what they're trying to accomplish with it. It doesn't really appear to serve any sort of purpose (eg phishing, computer virus, advertising). I've published it below. ("Company" name and sender withheld so as not to provide them with any free advertising :-))

Aside from the fact that I have no idea why a) my resume, even if they did have it, would have matched their profile b) they refer to their own company name in "quotes", and c) a reputable furniture company with 50 years history doesn't have any kind of web presence to be found - and I tried multiple search engines - the thing about this email that caught my eye was the second bullet. What does that mean exactly? That I can use the multiple financial bonuses to purchase housewives? And I can have more than one? Sweet. Of course, I'll have to check with Tim first to make sure he's comfortable that. And we might have to move to another state so it's legal. All in all, I think I'll just stay where I'm at.
