March 2014 -- I received a scamming kind of email from tom pelican [email protected] that used this phone number and a person's name of James Donald.   I live in Connecticut and answered a job ad that is posted here in CT as a local job for a machine operator. Supposedly, the job was in Hartford, CT as shown on the Hartford CT craigslist website..  I received the following stupid and exploitive reply that has nothing to do with machine operations, nor does it jive with the $15 wage/hr in the job ad:

" Dear Applicant,
