Rackspace Technology has officially gotten back with me and the email I received was, indeed, a #scam. I must admit it was the most convincing scam I've come across thus far.
If you are interested in a job with Rackspace Technology please go to their website: https://rackspace.jobs/
Here are the tips to look for when applying for and receiving correspondance from Rackspace:
-Rackspace Technology recruiters will arrange all interviews and job offers via an official “Rackspace.com / Rackspace.co.uk” email address utilizing Lever and Zoom - Please exercise caution if you choose to provide personal information via email or other social media channels. Do not click any links that you do not recognize -Applicants should visit our career page (https://rackspace.jobs/) to see all postings and/or apply on this website only -Job Postings on LinkedIn etc. will also route you to our careers page
In addition, Rackspace Technology will never ask for any financial commitment from a candidate as a pre-employment requirement.
As always, if you believe you have been the victim of a scam or received a fraudulant offer - please report it to ReportFraud.ftc.gov/#/ and notify the company they are posing as.
Those companies are just as much as a victim as we are, their reputation, their name, and their brand is at stake.

I thought I would pick this message apart and give a few tips on the flags I got with it.
- He/she doesn't have a last name or a profile picture.
- I did not apply for a job at this company.
- "Mr. Steve" - he/she didn't provide a first and last name and used the person's first name.
- "to confirm your availability" - "The interview has been scheduled for--" - If it's to confirm my availability, then they won't schedule it. It seems as though official employers won't schedule appointments without asking but...I haven't heard from anyone...so this is speculation on my end.
- The email ends in "gmail .com" - Be leery of these.
- A name was not put at the end of the message but rather the company's name. (Which does not match the name on the site mind you.)
- It was sent on a Saturday at 11:03pm - Keep in mind that you may be contacted by companies in a different time zone BUT if you are looking for a regular hourly paid job, it's highly unlikely that they would contact you after hours. This particular person stated they were EST time zone which means they sent this at midnight their time.
That's my #ScamDissection for the day.
I hope it helps others who are like me, and desperately looking for work.

Periodic reminder: there is no labor shortage. There is a shortage of jobs that treat workers with dignity and an excess of corporate greed. #jobseekers #workersreality #workfromhome #corporategreed #cantgiveup #ghosted

Send rejection emails. stop making candidates wait when you're not picking them.
A "no" is better than no response.
People reach out to me all the time, Saying they're in the hiring process for several companies.
The truth is that they probably aren't.
Their application status has said "pending" for weeks. No one replied after their first interview.
While the company may be moving slowly, The company might not be moving forward with them at all.
Candidates deserve to know where they stand. #jobseekers #careers #jobsearch #interview #application

Question for #Employers /#Recruiters / #Headhunters I'm sure #jobseekers might be interested in your response.
General questions for #Employers, #Recruiters and #Headhunters: How much work experience (years) equates to a 2 or 4 year degree in your opinion? And how many past job experiences is too many? I've always been told to keep your resume short.
