Well, there would be, wouldn't there :-)                                                                 
                                                                                                         
                                                                                                         
Seriously, phising and hackers/fraudsters do get very specific and go                                    
to great lengths.                                                                                        
                                                                                                         
Or the guy is a genuine HR at GOOG, but his gmail acct. has been hacked.                                    
[Think of why The GOOG left China].                                                                      
                                                                                                         
Paranoid or Cautious?                                                                                    
                                                                                                         
Who are The GOOG trying to recruit?                                                                      
People who are careful, disciplined professionals who take the trouble                                   
to 'verify sources', or something else??                                                                 
                                                                                                         
Summary:                                                                                                 
If this were a someone/some company I knew, I'd have no suspicions.                                      
If they'd used GPG to sign the message and I could download the key from                                 
subkeys.google.com, I'd not bother you guys...                                                           
                                                                                                         
But seriously, The GOOG hitting on me with random SPAM and                                               
a word-doc attachment? What are the chances?                                                             
[didn't mention that before]
