Sorry, "If it happens to be a job advert from an agency", I omitted
"from an agency who I know and communicate with". I get one or two job
adverts from a particular agency advertising in this area. So I checked
this one, but it did not appear to be from them, and I certainly don't
do financial work.

Unfortunately my 'send to spamcop' script deletes the original mail,
and I submitted a dozen or so last night. I don't know which of the
reports was for this email payload, I don't think SC keeps the original
mail content, or does it?

I have requested job information, I'm reasonably sure this was spammed,
I was just curious to wonder what the hell this was trying to achieve.
It is of low importance though, so as this is not something that
appears to be well observed, then I can ignore it as a one-off...
