Today, I got 3 emails with the following template (with a couple of word changes here and there):

Here’s the thing. When I checked who this email was sent from, it says that this email was sent from me. But when I checked my “sent” emails, there is no record that I sent this message. So why does it show myself as being the one to send me the email? Anyone else smell something fishy?

Sounds like you've been spammed.

That email address looks fishy.. shouldn't it be @jobsusa.gov?

Did you ever send your resume to this place…? I don't see the pain in replying and getting more info.

Scam. The e-mail address gives it away — jobusagov.org? If it's actually from the government, it would be jobusa.gov.

why would you even care at that crappy pay?

[Anonymous]

I don't. But I am just wondering, how do I stop receiving these emails? It says that these emails are coming from my own email address, which does not make sense because I checked my emails sent and those emails were not amongst them, so I did not send them.

It's called email spoofing to get it to look like you sent it. A look at the message header would reveal more detail. You were right to be skeptical. I would flag it as spam and move on.

Nothing comes up under http://www.jobusagov.org, also when you Google the website there's no links in relation to it. This means there's most likely no web hosting for the site, and no website that's been created. If it's not a scam, it's STILL not an entity I would do any sort of business with.

Definitely a scam. The dead giveaway is the terrible use of grammar and missing punctation. The first paragraph is missing a comma, now come on, seriously?! Also, no one starts an email with ‘good day'.

Spam, the Government doesn't solicit via emails. They post job openings on their job website and wait for the floods of applicants.
