step 1: did you apply for it...? yes / no > yes: it's more than likely real, but remember with anything always go directly to the source and don't click links willy nilly.

> no: then its 99.9% fake / phishing.

Surprisingly these attacks and other forms of phishing are on the rise ever since that facebook leak... coincidence? that joincidence with a c! ;)

In IT I get "cold" offers all the time. If you have a decent LinkedIn page, you'll get approaches from recruiters all the time.
