Markus Seafoods

I recieved the following random email from this scammer. It says first of all, that I showed an interest in their company at one time in the past. I have been looking for work so I actually didn't remember so I checked it out. As I was afraid, there is a MARCUS FOODS and a MARCUS SEAFOODS but there is not MARKUS Seafoods with a K instead of a C. Don't reply to this it is a Phishing Scam.
