I received an email from TK.org because apparently I replied to a job posting that prompted this email. It looked fishy right away, because I already sent an email with my resume and a cover letter, as I do with any application. I wish I could connect this email with the fraudulent job posting, but I cannot seem to find the original posting. The email looks like this. The only reason it raised red flags in my case was that an identical email was sent moments after the initial contact. Also there is a link enclosed in the email (lacks professional and personal contact) and there was not a phone number or further contact information provided. When I searched TK.org or TK Org the first hit on my Google search was a Flake List entry.
The email looks like this:

It also doesn't help their scam that their email server is named "LegitUSAjobs."
