Lookie Maw.....I Gots Me Another Insurance Job Offer From This Here Interweb Thingy Machine!


Well today in my usual barrage of "thanks but no thanks" emails from jobs I applied for I got yet another suspect job offer.

This time from United American Jobs

It states at the bottom in the disclaimer fine print that they found my email because I either posted it on a job website OR asked them directly.

Well I sure didn't contact them to sell their insurance or sell anything of theirs so yet again does a job website make money off my email address while I am trying to use their services...bunch of crap.

I should at least get a cut even if my email is sold without my permission.

Consider it like anything else I produce or manufactured or even like a piece of art I made.....

I made the email address...it's mine...without what I made the job website couldn't have sold anything because they didn't produce or manufacture any part of my email address.

They just stole it under the false pretense of me possibly getting a job and then sold it.

Anyhow trying to look up the privacy policies on the email suspect offer just produce browser timeouts, another sign the place may not be reputable.

It says UA (United American NOT to be confused with United Artists) is a Torchmark Company..well they didn't pay their internet provider bill or something because I can't get to their site like I said .... tmkrms.com

I would post the email but I know how these companies roll, they would be all up at arms that their email bait was posted without their permission for the whole world to see...kind of like what the job website does with my email address.

Ripoffreport.com tells me all I need to know about these folks:

Tons of comments, some as recent as two days ago...sheesh.

So there you have my typical day.

Wake up, get coffee, check email, adjust filters on the plethora of email scam addresses I get in my inbox, look for more job offers online and get my email address stolen and sold by countless new sites, go to bed.

  1. Sheesh. Can I relate. I'm still on a number of job boards, and maybe that's why i get about 120 spam emails a day. Give up the hunt online and call your friends and their friends...or work for yourself. Online is a waste of time.
