I have been receiving multiple offers of employment from different persons located at one web site which is "UCES.EDU.CO". I have tried multiple times to block mails from that address but they always seem to bypass the system, am I being over cautious or is the offer a real one (tongue in cheek)?Gist of mail is as follows - They are offering you a post as their representative for HyundaI Steel in North America handling all their account receivables. This offer uses various other well known companies names and is a "paste in" job always addressed to someone else other than myself.
