I've received a mail that I assume is spam, but it is quite strange. The mail is basically telling me to register on coworks.com for a job. As it seems to be a sort of hub for tech freelancer, I thought HN might have some answers for me.
I find it suspicious because :
- The mail says it comes from my Krop portfolio. I don't have any Krop portfolio (don't event know what it is)
- The mail is signed by the CEO of this company, why would he get people one by one like this ?
- No clear information on what exactly is the proposition, nor why should I receive it.
- The registering link doesn't contain any way to identify me, nor any key or whatever
Here is the full mail copy (except for the names) :
"Hi,
I have seen your Krop portfolio, it looks great. I am now looking for designer candidates for an offsite freelance position with Orginate, an awesome VC firm based in San Francisco. They do really cool stuff. This offsite freelance position is posted on Coworks.
I am CEO of Coworks. You can think of Coworks as something similar to Krop but with full online collaboration capabilities. More and more clients chose the offsite option!
Please use my personal invite link if you want to look at job at hand, coworks.com/personalinvite
It is free of course and I am happy to make you a staff pick once you get your portfolio up. You’ll find the Originate job in the job listings section.
Thanks for your time.
Have a great day and I hope to see you on Coworks!"
Sounds to me like some sort of marketing spam... Did anyone receive something similar or know about this business ?
