The Gmail address it came to I use only for things like alerts, so that is odd enough, but the job is on-site in Atlanta, GA; Charlotte, NC; or Raleigh, NC, so the sender clearly knows nothing about me other than this email and that I have Java experience. They even asked if I’d worked for Infosys before and whether I have Work Authorization, and didn’t suggest Austin, Texas, which was within driving distance of where I used to live. What made me think Infosys might have been hacked was the email from Brass Ring requesting that I forward info to sowmyashree.2127460@infosys.com. That can’t be a real email address, can it? If it is, Infosys really needs to up its recruiting game. Who relocates these days? If you are so behind that you don’t have WFH, then hire local. The cost of moving a family is extremely high and very painful. It just makes no sense. If it’s a scam, they must have access to Infosys' email system. I guess the third option is that Brass Ring is sending out emails to random addresses with made-up contact email addresses to try to get people to visit their site. Seems unlikely though.

In the best case, it was spam, so I reported it and blocked the sender since I’m not looking for a job. Especially with a recruiter this clueless.
