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]
