So it looks like the answer is yes, we've been farmed. Is there anything
that could prevent this from happening again?
I have mixed feelings on this...if it is a legit job offer (as it seems it
is) then I'm not sure it is all that bad. I would be much more up-in-arms
if this was your normal everyday SPAM.
