[ale] E*Trade chatwithwendy.com phishing?

[Jeff Hubbs]

Job lead scams are real. In December 2017 I was contacted via email 
about a UN job. I had in fact applied to at least one UN job. Long story 
short, one entity *went through a legit contractor* to contact me. 
Eventually I realized that something was amiss and I got wise.
