Re: A hint to recruiters...

Even people who are "smart, critical and sharp witted" can fall for phishing emails. A good example is the "I'm stuck in another country and have lost my wallet, phone, etc please send me money to get home" email from a friend's address. I know one very intelligent CEO who would have fallen for that if he hadn't mentioned it to me first. Non-IT people have never heard of these standard phishing scams so the messages look legit to them.
