I ignored/deleted the email (work email) the first time and now today I have a follow up email asking to respond. The guise of COOSUMMIT...Really?! Seriously, my position in our company is not a key position by any means. That was enough in the first place to make me delete it, but this follow up email really bugs the crap out of me.

I agree with rleathers from April 7, 2011...if I'm so important, why did it take them this long to find me. =)

Thank you Ram on May 16, 2011...I've forwarded the crap to those email addresses with my complaint about the spam.

Wow, that'd be a heluva way to end your week!

It seems this has now transitioned to include a new URL: theoperationssummit.org. For reference, the two notes I received appear below:

Hi Erik, I was just checking back to see if you had reached a decision
per my original email below. We have a couple of openings and I thought
you would enjoy the group. Some of the other members include:

Best Buy, Steve Delp, VP/COO.
Pier 1 Imports, Sharon Leite, EVP Store Operations.
Ernst & Young LLP, Kristin Valente, Partner.
Netflix, Andrew Rendich, VP Operations.
IHOP, Rand Ferris, VP Franchise Operations.
And also a number of smaller companies where we thought the COO had a lot
of creativity and ideas to share.

Can you look at the www.theoperationssummit.org meeting schedule and get
back to me or relay if you think another is more appropriate? The others
would really enjoy your participation.

Sincerely,
Matthew Keener

I received the same email scam recently from the "coosumit.net". I replied to his email and copied scams@fraudwatchinternational.com. I don't know if it helps or not. I also sent a nice note encouraging him to use his God given talents to better himself & the economy rather than steal from people. Who knows, maybe that'll get atleast one of them thinking.

Right on Marty!

April 7, 2011
I am outraged that it has taken this long for the scammers to invite me. Were there really that many candidates better suited than I for this scam? The invitation notes an interest in my "key role and experience" but their slowness in extending an invitation indicates a lack of sincerity. Scammers, next time invite me early if you want to get my attention :)

Happy to help Scott, thanks for stopping by!

Thansk for stopping by. I can't believe this crap is still kicking around ... yet plenty of people have never seen it before. Nothing like the scale of the Internet ... Somehow it doesn't surprise me that they've moved to SSL, that, and the IP-name, no-domain, where the final straws for this camel.

2009-08-18T16:04:51.274-04:00

I got that form letter. For reasons I'll never know, it just felt wrong. They now offer SSL submission of credit card info and a 30 day money back guarantee. Not for me.

Good post, btw. Thanks.
