Blacklist my foot!

I received two text messages yesterday that sounded like one of those push SMSes. Knowing that I did not apply for any jobs in recent months and thinking that it might be spam, I deleted the message immediately. I should not have, and instead called them up to check the name of the company and ask what the invitation was about. The sender mentioned, by the way, that the job was for a "col center." Jeez.

Today, I received an e-mail apparently from the same people, but with a threat for blacklisting:

"Please come for a job interview, on friday [sic], July 31,2009, 9:30am, [sic] Unit 4501, Summit One Tower, 530 Shaw Blvd. Mandaluyong City [sic].

"We were able to got hold of your resume from jobsdb [sic], those who will not be able to come on said date, [sic] will be tagged AND listed as "THOSE WHO DO NOT USUALLY COME FOR INTERVIEW ", [sic] to inform other EMPLOYERS who are registered on jobsdb [sic]."

I replied this time that I did not apply for a job with their firm (or whatever possibly fly-by-night operations they're running). The way that they invite people to come for job interviews is terribly unprofessional enough, but to threat those who do not express interest in joining them in the first place with blacklisting is taking it to another level, a lower one. The sender did not even take the effort to hide the names of invited interviewees by using BCC.

On the other hand, maybe I should have copied everyone my reply. And why on earth are they sending e-mails through Yahoo! mail?
