Ask HN: Is this Dell recruiting spam real?
Today I got this email from Dell. I have never applied to Dell. I have no experience in sales or anything in that vertical.
Subject: Dell is interested in you!
Good afternoon,
I noticed your resume and we are presently interviewing and hiring for an Inside Sales Account Management role with Dell (lead generation), located in Round Rock, TX. This is a full time role with exceptional benefits.
Congratulations! We would like to speak with you. Thank you and look forward to hearing back from you. Would you be so kind to respond by email to taressa_joslin@dellteam.com with your resume and a few different times that we can speak with you by phone?
Thank you again,
Taressa Joslin

Is this an exceptionally skilled spammer, using dell emails, language, etc, to scam me, or has Dell reached so low as to recruit spam random individuals for jobs they have no interest in?
My favorite part is "I noticed your resume.... Would you be so kind as to respond by email to ... with your resume..."
