I've gotten three of these kind, but they all have the same thing in common: This idiotic disclaimer which makes it look like CareerBuilder approves of their bigotry. Has anyone tried baiting this scumbag?

From my vast [lack of] experience, it looks to me like one of two possibilities:

1 - a baiter (although I don't know exactly why a baiter would be sending out mail like that)

2 - A de-educated lad who has received a similar disclaimer from a baiter and didn't really look at what it said or meant.

I agree. Googling comes up with a disclaimer that starts "Please be aware that the content of this email has not been reviewed or approved by CareerBuilder and is in no way endorsed by CareerBuilder"

Looks to me as if a baiter has rewritten it and fed it to a lad.

Yeah, it definitely is a "de-deducated" lad Smile

I sent them a response and they responded.
