I recieved this email from this person, Michael Mell, who contacted me on his own. Here is the email he sent:
Hello xxxxxxx,
I hope you are doing well! I am emailing you regarding the resume you posted online. I am currently consulting for a couple small businesses and assisting with several business developments in Miami, FL. After reviewing your resume, I think you would be a good fit for one of the several positions currently available. The primary position currently available is for a full time Benefits Representative, the average starting wage is around $60,000 a year. I am in the office Friday and was wondering if I could contact you for a five minute phone interview between 1:00-2:00pm? Or is there a better time to call you at xxxxxxxxxxx
Also, just so you know, there are no fees for you to use my service, assisting small businesses in finding qualified top-notch employees is included with my consulting fees which are covered by the business. If you find that these positions are not the right fit for you, no worries, I work with a number of other businesses and I may have another client that is hiring in the near future. Are you only looking for work in the 33177 area? Would you consider other areas?
I look forward to speaking to you!

I have been unemployed for three weeks and have already experienced several job opportunity scams. Because this was the second time in two weeks someone had invited me to a sketchy job offer, I immediately looked it up online, and what do I find? Pretty much the identical experience. I can't believe how often this is happening. Needless to say, I am extremely skeptical about any online work solicitations after this. It's creepy and depressing. These people need to get a life.
