I have been getting a lot of job opportunity related mails these days. Strange thing is, I have not even accessed any job site or upgraded my resume since joining my present organization. So, my resume has been lying dormant for past 2 years and I still get offers for opportunities ranging from Mechanical Design to TIBCO.
Isn’t it time that HR firms came of age and did some basic research on the profiles before an all-out broadcast of every opportunity to everyone ? Most of them also come with a reply-to address of a yahoo or gmail account, which is a glaring indicator of unprofessionalism (cmon guys, if you can’t have your own email domain, get out of the business !). In addition, the mails are so poorly worded that had the mail been an application from a candidate to a firm, it would have found its way to the trash even before the resume is opened.

Was doing a search on Job Spam, since I’m getting a fair amount of it. Yahoo or Gmail may mean no job at all. Also lot of MLM come-ons disguised as job postings. Had one Monster phish too. Quite a few bogus marketing and admin assistant emails too.
Only thing I can say, is be careful and suspicious.
