I got the same thing, but based on my github account. The person who contacted me has a consistent LinkedIn account, and his email passed SPF, DKIM, and rPTR.

Re work: curiously, I recently received an unsolicited email from Google
inviting me to 'have a conversation' [managementspeak yeuch!].
This was apparently based on my volume of postings on the forum. (I
suspect not on their quality ;-) I suggested that first they look at my
LinkedIn page, which would have roughly revealed my age -- already greater
than yours will be when you 'come out of school'.

Since then, nothing. Nada. Not even an acknowledgement. Rude, I call it.

I think you'll find ageism is still rife in the industry.

Sorry for totally leaving the original topic here, but:

Same for me: Got an e-mail from some "technical sourcer", replied (I'll actually be looking for a job soon), never got anything back. - Twice!

I imagine they do a

forM_ (users haskell_cafe) $ \u ->
   when ("functional" `elem` words (linkedin_page u)) $ send (std_email u) u

, but with several agents which don't sync back their results.

Doesn't seem to be age-related, though. (I'm 25)
