Just got this e-mail, what do you all reckon? Sounds a bit suspect to me, have e-mailed him asking for more details on what he wants.

I hope you’re well, came across your CV on Monster and would like to talk to you about a new role.
Therefore, I’d be grateful if you could give a call to talk further – thanks.

If it aint askng you for your credit card details or the like then it's hard to see where the scam might be?! Did you not put ur CV on 'Monster'?

No, I did, but it just seems a bit vague, not all that far from the Nigerian scams with the "fill in name here" e-mails. We'll see....

lol been meanin to check out St Andrews since Prince William went there, has it really become the babe magnet (during term time) that they say?
A guy I know here has been using the 'I was in the RAF you know' line for ten years now, it still works too!

These sound like the recruitment equivalent of those annoying people who call you endlessly when your car is in auto-trader.
I recon they are recruitment consultants who will see if they can sell you to somebody (and make a commission).
Probably not much harm in it, their interests are the same as yours.
