- Hi Marc! You were referred to our company as someone who might be interested in some extra work. We are part of a health, wellness, fitness company expanding in the area. If you are keeping your options open and would like to learn more, give me a call at 313-_ _ _-_ _ _ _. Have a wonderful day! Julie
1) I'm already employed, and haven't initated that I'm looking for extra work, so that's odd... 2) They didn't say -WHO- supposedly referred them to me... Sound like a soliciting scam? | |

Sound like a soliciting scam? I would not even respond, sounds like a headhunter or some kind of scam. | |

| Sounds like a scam. If this were legitimate, they would have found a way to contact you by phone; whoever allegedly "referred" you to them would have given them your formal contact information, and they would have called. | |

Sound like a soliciting scam? It sure does. If you were truly referred, they would have referenced the referrer. Most likely what happened is that they just randomly picked your name in a search. | |
