Phish Bowl Alerts
The lastest in an ongoing stream of fake job offers, this one suffers from the dread CAPS LOCK syndrome and a sender using a generic Gmail address rather than the company's. Don't respond and instead alert Google by marking it as phishing (open the message in a browser, click on the stack of three dots to the right of the REPLY button and select "Report phishing").
Suspicious recipients who researched the website will discover one with lots of pages, photos and links (liberally lifted from https://www.cornerstone-staffing.com/), though also a fair share of typos and missing pieces. Digging deeper into the domain, shows the look-alike https://whois.domaintools.com/cornerstones-staffing.us was created in 2020 and registered with NameCheap, Inc., unlike https://whois.domaintools.com/cornerstone-staffing.com, which has been in place since 2003 with a reputable registrar.
