Job Posting "Too Good to be True"

Be very cautious before emailing your resume to a job posting which does not provide a company name, street address, telephone number, or website. Beware of job ads which state a very high starting wage for customer service work.

A search of the California Bar Association found no listing for "Anthony Neloms". Why is Anthony Neloms, who states he is an attorney, using an email address such as btrtyax@gmail.com?
