Strange CV Feedback

[wurzel]

From a jobserve application last week:

Good morning James,

Thanks for sending in your CV last week.
I've been going through all the replies this weekend and am pleased to say that your CV has won you a place in our shortlist.

I've decided that as a tie-breaker I'd ask you each to send in a short description / block diagram of what you think might be appropriate technologies we might employ in our solution.

etc etc.

This guy purports to be the end client & I've never heard of the company (LighterLife.Com) & have no way of reconciling this with my jobserve applications. Don't want to reply saying who the hell are you? as that would ruin any chances of getting the gig & also don't want to waste any time replying to Spam. Just wondering if anyone else had ever received anything similar.

Spam or scam. Looks like the usual pyramid selling, this time involving a starvation diet. Not someone I'd trust.

Lighter life is yet another fad diet that encourages idiots to go almost starve themselves.

Has anyone ever heard of just eating senslibly and maybe doing some exercise????

Back to the op, sounds like they are scamming people for ideas. Without knowing what the gig you applied for was it sounds like they are pulling a fast one.

Looks like the want some consultancy for nowt.

Draw them a simple diagram showing money flowing into your bank account from theirs via online banking as it's simpler and more cost effective than going in person to the bank.

Something to do with computers

Sounds a bit odd, maybe they really want someone to help with the spambots?

If you really don't know which application it relates to, you are well within your rights to ask politely "who the hell are you?" and, because you won't be able to advise much otherwise, "what's your problem?!"

[Clippy]

Try this one.
