@tsaukpaetra I like that it's the 2018 award. Not the 2018 award for anything in particular, just the award.

@anonymous234 Not the prestigious Yahoo Prize Award?

Does that mean the feds have been notified?

The subect of Magix video editing software came up in another thread recently, maybe a month ago. I mentioned that I had bought it 10+ years ago (and hadn't used it in nearly that long), and they're still emailing me to get me to buy the latest and greatest version.
Well last night they decided to try something new â spamming me in a language I don't know, German.
etc...
Well, it did work, sort of. I still have no intention of buying it, but at least I spent â% more time reading it than I would have otherwise; normally, I would have just deleted it without opening it.

GoasGolangfive times andGOtwo times. - I will be working closely with a CTO who is last two companies!

- I'm BCC'd on this email, which gives me great confidence that the recruiter is contacting me directly.
- Sure, I'll quit my job so I can go work for some guy I don't know the name of because some random recruiter emailed me and told me I need to get a work visa in England.
Let's check out the twitter feed they're advertising. I bet there's a lot of juicy stuff on there.

Not technically spam, since I'm signed up with them, but I think we'll all agree that a lot of LinkedIn's emails are spam in all but name.
Just the subject line, since I haven't actually opened the email:
Is working at the top tech companies only for the young?
Since I am currently working at what would certainly be ranked among the "top" tech companies, and I am certainly not young, I'm gonna say, "No." Betteridge wins again.
-
@hardwaregeek Spam is unsolicited marketing email. Did you agree to let them send you marketing emails? If so, is there a button you can push to no longer agree? If you answered no to either of these questions, it's spam.
-
@ben_lubar Are you unfamiliar with LinkedIn? It's basically social media for job hunting. It's entirely opt-in, and one can cancel one's opt in. The granularity of that, however... One may not be able to opt into only the stuff you think is relevant without also opting into all the stuff they think you might think is relevant, and there is a lot of "you might be interested in" stuff that I'm not â especially since these "interesting" articles are always links to links to articles, some of which are behind paywalls. (I'll admit I haven't looked into the opt-in options much; I just ignore the irrelevant stuff.)
I mostly just found the premise of the subject line amusing.
-
@hardwaregeek Of course, once you're on LinkedIn, you'll be incessantly spammed by recruiters who have (obviously) never read your profile. And even spammed to email accounts you've never made public (WTF GMail?).

If they were actually in my field, it would be at least useful. "We saw your profile on LinkedIn and thought you'd be a great match for our full-stack web position." Yeah, in what universe did you see anything remotely related to web tech in my profile. (I'm Win32/C++ all the way)

Indeed. Since I have, at one time or another, posted my resume/profile to a number of job search websites, I can't be sure which profile they're failing to read. However, regardless of which site he is using, there is one particular recruiter to whom I would like to send something like the following, with a copy to his manager (but
):Dear Mr. Whatever:
I normally like to maintain good relationships with recruiters, as there is no way to guess who may connect me with my next job. However, you have repeatedly sent me job descriptions that are not in any way relevant to my previous experience, thus demonstrating that you have either not read my resume or are incapable of understanding what you read. Even if you were to send me something relevant, I do not trust that you are competent to present me to the hiring manager in a way that has a chance of being successful. Therefore, kindly [description of unnatural acts with cacti, purple dildos, razor blades, diseased animals, and rusty knives omitted for brevity] and do not contact me again.
Have a nice day,
HardwareGeek
-
@hardwaregeek LOL. I normally never reply to them. But one day, one just pissed me off. I told them they obviously had not read my profile as nothing in the posting related to me. Needless to say, there was no response.
-
@dcon I (sometimes) reply politely to people who have a history of sending me relevant jobs; I want them to think of me when I am looking for a job. For example:
Dear Mr. Whatever:
Thank you for contacting me. I am currently in a contract with X months left, so I am not looking for another job at this time. However, I look forward to hearing from you again near the end of my contract. Etc.
I mostly ignore the irrelevant ones (and even the relevant ones when I'm not looking), but once in a while somebody is so incompetent as to annoy me.

Like, what's the win condition of that e-mail anyway? To make you go back to the spam they hit you with yesterday and click on the link? To pre-condition you for a future phishing campaign? To get angry responses to confirm active e-mail addresses???

@izzion There was no spam yesterday. I assume it's the Unsubscribe link (that isn't a link in my copy-pasta).

So, the built-in mail client in Windows 10 has introduced priority inbox, where it puts the e-mails of most interest to me first. What's the first mail I get there? Well, what thread are we in?
Last time I got similar spam to that account it was about stone-related goods. This time it is steel. Where I get the lastest prices because I am one of famous importer of this wondrous substance known as stanless steel.

@atazhaia Stanless steel is highly sought after by importers, because if you get regular steel Stan usually shows up and he's kind of a douche.

@hungrier Yeah, he is.

What the hell, Amazon? No, I'm not looking to extend or replace my on-premise storage capabilities. I don't have any on-premise storage capabilities, unless you count my computer's hard disk.

@hardwaregeek Of course, once you're on LinkedIn, you'll be incessantly spammed by recruiters who have (obviously) never read your profile.
Indeed. Since I have, at one time or another, posted my resume/profile to a number of job search websites, I can't be sure which profile they're failing to read. However, regardless of which site he is using, there is one particular recruiter to whom I would like to send something like the following, with a copy to his manager (but
):Dear Mr. Whatever:
I normally like to maintain good relationships with recruiters, as there is no way to guess who may connect me with my next job. However, you have repeatedly sent me job descriptions that are not in any way relevant to my previous experience, thus demonstrating that you have either not read my resume or are incapable of understanding what you read. Even if you were to send me something relevant, I do not trust that you are competent to present me to the hiring manager in a way that has a chance of being successful. Therefore, kindly [description of unnatural acts with cacti, purple dildos, razor blades, diseased animals, and rusty knives omitted for brevity] and do not contact me again.
Have a nice day,
HardwareGeekHere's another one from that idiot. I'll even name-and-shame:
I don't even know WTF Guidewire is, much less have senior-level knowledge of it. Even naive keyword matching wouldn't account for this; the only words in common with my resume are "and," "senior," "years," "systems," and "level."

Hmm, not sure there?

Assuming a different font was expected?
On that note, apparently my savings account isn't good enough, even for BoA standards, and I should call in to upgrade!
(this actually does appear to be legitimate though)

I still wouldn't click any links.

@dcon Log in (without clicking the email link) and go to the "Message Center" on the BoA website. If the same message is there, it's legit.

It's not. I don't have a BoA account. (even with the really legit ones from my bank, I do exactly that)
