안녕하세요. 현재 외국에서 학부를 하고있는 학생입니다.
제가 Linkedin을 사용하는데, 최근에 이런 이메일이 왔습니다.
그런데 참 의심쩍은게 너무 많아서 그러는데 Jump Trading이라는 회사가 존재하는지도 모르겠고 (인터넷에 치니까 뜨긴 뜬다만…), 저같은 실력없는 사람을 보고 싶어 하는것 같지도 않고 설마 장기매매…? 이진 않겠죠?
안그래도 인턴 찾으려고 하는데 이런 스팸만 오는거 같아서 걱정입니다 ㅠㅠ
밑에 제가 받은 이메일 적습니다! (_______는 제 정보 보호상 회사이름 혹은 사람이름은 가립니다)

감사합니다.
