I received an email regarding a possibly job opportunity. The initial email was simple and short and did not necessarily raise red flags. However I responded asking for additional information. I was emailed back with more information including 2 attachments, an application and job description documents. I was not directed to a website to fill out an application which is odd because most applications are completed that way now. Also, when I opened the attachment an address was listed. I searched the address and it does not exist. The address listed was 1423 Capitol Trial, Newark, DE, 19711, USA... This place does not exist. However 1423 Capitol Trail, Newark, DE, 19711, USA does exist. These people were sly enough to change "Trail" to "Trial". This is not likely an error as it is also listed incorrectly on the application. I doubt a legitimate company would get their own address wrong at all, let alone on more than one document.
Below please find the verbiage for the emails I was sent and a copy of the "job description" document:
