Scheduler or scam?

Hi there,

I received an email today and it just seemed very odd, I have not ever applied with this company. I have received emails from unknown schedulers before when they had jobs in my area, INVITING me to sign on with their company. I assume they have found me through MSPA, I am Silver certified.

Here is the body of the email,I have NOT responded. I have no idea if the email address is a usual one for Quest For Best.

I would appreciate some thoughts on this or perhaps someone knows this person.

Thanks in advance!

It strikes me as odd. Quest for Best has a website for you to register at www.questforbest.com If this were legit I expect they would send you there.

Poor customer service? Don't get mad; get video.
That is what I thought too. I actually started to reply by just questioning the person, asking where she found my email address and pointing out that I had not applied with her company.

Thankfully, my brain kicked in and I decided to ask here instead so...my thanks!
I've got an email with not that but something that was quite the same the claimed they were a MSPA company and the site looked legit and all until I got the package and them wanting me to cash a check via western union so I know for now on to either call a company and call them out on there email or when they do send something to call a bank just some advice that I've found
what everyone else said. Highly doubt it's real. And if it is, it's unprofessional.

There are no stupid questions, but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots

This is REAL! I know her and get emails all the time from her. She does write brief, very brief emails.

Remember: Scammers write LONG emails and Ms. Young writes short onessmiling smiley

Either a scammer is pretending to be her and wrote you this but if you view most scammers emails, they write a long bunch of nonsense and want ALOT of personal information.

I get schedulers all the time that ask me to join their company. That's what this is.

Does the body of the email at the bottom say this:

Nancy Young

Quest For Best

******QuestForBest.com

www.QuestForBest.com

I don't want to put her entire email up here in case scammers take it. You can PM me and I can give you her full addy. You then email her and ASK her if she that to you
Just to update: The email from Nancy is verified so if you get one from her, you can email me and validate that it really is her...
I get emails like that from her too...and with the tyoung thing at the top.

Count me as another happy shopper for Quest for Best's Nancy Young. She's for real and legitimate.

All scammers used legitimate company names to look more natural. I am registered with that company, but my emails don't look like this one.


But... but.... occasionally, when I feel like having fun... I do reply to what I know is a scam... and then I give the sender the hardest time... lol... I drag it out so long that I can tell them that their check isn't any good (even though I have never deposited it)... lol...

I am simply terrible... but is fun!!!!!

Another time, I was gone a couple days... and I didn't put my mail on hold. Some kid got in my mail, so the lettercarrier took all my mail back to the post office. The mail was being held by a postal inspector because one piece of mail was a check from a MSC. The postal inspector thought I was being taken in on a scam.

lol... that was a fun conversation!!!!

That is Nancy's writing style. She had TONS of shoppers and you can bet your letter will be a one-liner.

Remember: Scammers write very lonnng emails and Nancy writes one-linerswinking smiley

While we are on the subject: Lots of my schedulers write very short replies, some with just "yes" or "okay, thats fine." And that's it!
