 		Cottontail Industries
Alright so I got an odd Email from an H Richards. The Email address is cottontailceoSPLATgmail.com

"Cottontail Industries is now looking for new Partners to better tomorrow's future!
This is the opportunity you are looking for to make a positive change in your life!
For more information about how to become a Cottontail Partner visit our website:
We hope to hear from you soon,
B. Hendricks (Staff Management)
www.cottontailindustries.com"

The website turns out to not be very informative as to what it is this company does. It lists a phone number ((347) 732-1039) I haven't called it yet, but I did send in a partnership request. The email I got back had an application attached that I needed to fill out.
I filled out the application and sent it back to receive this email:

"Thank you, we have received your submission! Someone from our Staff Management department will be contacting you shortly about how to further the application process and about setting up your Online Partner Interview.

Thanks,
B. Hendricks (Staff Manager)"

And now I wait.

Also, they do have a Facebook page which might be important: https://www.facebook.com/cottontailindustries

The phone number is an autoresponder, but you can leave a message. I did.

Sent in an email and now just waiting for a reply.

I think I will wait and see how natas gets on with the phone call before I call. Wink

 		Waiting on my email response. I called and was going to leave a message, but Zoe was shouting at her megabloks loudly next to me - and no PM needs that nonsense Smile

ETA: okay, legit mailer daemon. That's not good.

That definitely isn't caused by this. I know the creator personally and this is a confirmed ARG. They wouldn't do that to ya.

Yeah, noooo I'm going to go ahead and say I doubt that is connected. I keep getting mailer daemons because of something I assume to PM needs to fix/address. I said it's not good because it is crappy workmanship.

And as for:

Grrrrr so then you didn't just "get an odd email," you posted under false pretenses on behalf of the PM? Are you BTS?

 		I received a reply this morning, From: H Richards (cottontailceoSPLATgmail.com)

Quote:
Angela,

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Cottontail Industries Partner. We are currently accepting new applications! Attached to this E-mail you will find one of our Partner Application Forms. Please respond to this E-mail with the completed form and someone from our Staff Management department will be in contact with you shortly.

Thank you,
B. Hendricks (Staff Manager)


P.S. We are always looking to grow the Cottontail Family. If you know of any other prospective applicants please make them aware of our employment opportunity.


There was a form attached ( Microsoft word format ) so not sure how i can upload however it was just very general things on it such as name, age, date of birth, preferred position and preferred wage.

Then is asks a bunch of pre interview questions
where you cross the box based on preferred preference

there is an attached note at the bottom which says

Quote:
**If a follow up Online Interview is required you will be asked to provide a valid Skype Username one of our "Employment Specialists" can contact you at to further the hiring process.

 		Wow. So.... is Cottontail looking for partnerships, like they are saying on their website, or employees? great job PMs. Confused Rolling Eyes

And Skype, really? I'm a 24/7 Momma of a toddler.... That shit better revolve about the player's availability and not the other way around. Not to mention, I guess they aren't expecting a lot of players, eh?

Finally filled out the form and didn't get an MD yet so, hopefully that's fixed.

 		I got the email and app., I think I'll reserve judgement on this one for a bit. So far all risk with zero reward.

My spam filter must be working properly, haven't got one of those in months.
Maybe they confused you with Austin "Danger" Powers?

Not at all. I have a small circle of Internet friends that all received the E-Mail. At the time, I didn't know that it was someone I knew. They told me later. I made them not tell me anything BTS, so I know as much as you do.

 		Emailed, still waiting to hear back. Also, they're apparently headquartered in New York, or so the map would lead on to believe.
