Just read an interesting article: "Real-Life Interview Blunders to Avoid" and thought I'd pass it along. You will find it here:

I came across this article from several years ago, but this problem has continued to grow. Please be careful.
Article: Online job scammers steal millions
by Richard L. Kuper
There are, unfortunately, many bogus emails claiming to offer jobs. You must scrutinize such emails very carefully. Some may look like they came from legitimate sources, such as a job search site you may be registered with. Here are a few tips:
- If the email claims that someone has read your resume and thinks you will be a good match, but the job description has nothing to do with your skill set, be wary.
- If the email claims you were referred by someone, and no one you know informed you in advance that they were passing your name along, and the email fails to say who actually referred you, be wary. If the email seems, on close examination, to possibly be a legitimate company, before you provide all your personal details, write back and simply ask who actually referred you. If you get a response, but the response is generic or claims not to know who actually referred you, be wary.
-If the offer sounds too good to be true (get rich quick), be wary.
Do some due diligence to verify the legitimacy of a company if you receive unsolicited job offers.

Perhaps this news will result in the reversal of the trend to send jobs off shore.
