In the past week I have received two different unsolicited offers of employment via email that both look a little too generic to be true. They were sent to two separate email addresses, both of which I have used in the past to seek work. Neither email address has ever been “in the public” such as on web sites ever, only ever being used to apply for jobs. So someone out there has somehow harvested email addresses, or someone is advertising fake jobs to harvest email addresses.
Anyone out there had a generic job offer such as:

Anyone else experienced these emails? They look far too generic to be genuine.
