I’ve been seeing a bunch of spams trying to prey on job seekers. Particularly evil in these tough times. None of them attempts to disguise the URL they’re linking to. Judging from this writeup, they’re phishing, not downloading malware.
There are at least some novel locutions, like “Hurroo Robert” and “Pass the time of day with Robert” that make them a little entertaining.

Please tell me how I can get these emails from Rock Force Management to stop.
I get at least 10 a day from different eemail addresses with the same message as you show above.
Please tell me how to get it to stop.

You can block the IP addresses if you manage your own mail server. Otherwise, I think all you can do is flag them as spam.
Jaime Ballestero says
I want to file a lawsuit against Rock Force Management, Rock Zone Management, and other spammers that offer me employment but want nothing but my credit report. I also want to file a lawsuit against the credit reporting company that is behind and supporting them. The lawsuit will be in the amount of $100 million dollars. Your share would be $50 million if we win. Will you, or could you, take this case. If you do not want this case, could you recommend a lawyer in or around Indianapolis, Indiana that would be willing to take me on as a client in such, what could be a high profile case. I also know this could become a media circus and attract unwanted attention to myself and my family. Please let me know.
Thank you,
Jaime Ballestero
