Blue Chip Expert Spam

Over the past 30 days I have receive many emails from present and past colleagues and friends inviting me to join a recruitment website calle "Blue Chip Expert" The Email reads as follows:

Hi Paul,

I just joined Blue Chip Expert and wanted to invite you to join as well.

Blue Chip Expert is an invitation-only career site focused on professionals with excellent qualifications. It's confidential, completely free to join and use, and only takes a few minutes to join.

Also, every time a person you invite is hired you earn a referral fee which you can either keep or direct to your favorite non-profit. Referral fees can really add up as they are paid on three levels of referral for ten years.

There's a lot more to it - check it out at:

Best as always,

This, in my opinion is one of the worst perversions of "social" web technology. It is a recruitment website which enables members to earn commissions on recruitment fees earned when someone they recommended to the website takes a job.

It presents itself as an exclusive, membership only site, when in reality it is a social network marketing scheme.





Count me out, and please don't send me any more form invitations.
