Hey everyone..
i'm currently looking for a job in the motion graphics field.. and today i received an unwarranted (read : never knew about them) email from this company called "lightmotion"... the e-mail looked a lot like spam to me.. but i wanted to see what you guys thought.. here's the companies address..
at first glance they look like a legit company... but the more you read.. you start seeing that it could be a scam.. no contact info.. no location info.. generic pictures of everything..typos everywhere too..
i dunno... has anyone had any experience or heard of this company before?
thanks..

What was the email about? Were they asking you to come aboard or something about freelance work?

here's the e-mail i received..
maybe i'm just being skeptical..
cause i never sent them something, so i didn't expect to receive anything from them... feels like they just spidered my e-mail address or something.. yah know?

"We have examined some stuff about you on the Web" uh, yikes...
This was priceless:

Sounds a little too good to be true....or maybe their english is bad...Doesn't hurt to respond about the desired salary, but I wouldn't send them any of your work just yet.

Hi
I don't know you but I'd like to know how much you earn and if you have any expensive computer equipment at home, I mean, the ability to work from home.
Would you be so kind as to tell me when you are going to be away from home over the next 10 days, and could you possibly send me your address along with your other contact details?

vespa..
exactly.. that's why i didn't wanna touch that with a 10 foot pole..
friggin scary how people will feed off of other's hardships..
i mean.. if i were getting really desperate (which i'm nearing) i might have seriously at least considered it..
as always ... NT sets me straight.. thanks guys for your opinions.. i knew it was shady.. but your words only confirm it..
