I've gotten one on my work email. Ignored it and got a followup a couple weeks later. looks like a mix of a recruiter email and also an ad for their "AI technology".

I’ve gotten email a few times over the past few months in my work email address.

They purport to be from an AI used by E*Trade in Alpharetta for hiring presumably for initial screening.   They mention my “profile” as the reason for reaching out to me.   It gives links for chatwithwendy.com<http://chatwithwendy.com>.

Since I’ve never put my work email address on any job site (other than subscription to ale jobs) I’m suspicious of what “profile” it would have found and have never clicked on the links.

Has anyone else gotten these and either confirmed or disproved them to just be sophisticated phishing emails?
