I don't see any sense in posting the second message since it shows the same sender and the text is almost identical. I think you've got the idea.

Thank you for helping spread a word of caution about these types of messages! Based on the information listed within your original post, the email in question does appear to be a spoof message designed to appear as if it came from a legitimate source or 3rd party company in order to lend its credibility.

We recommend such messages be disregarded and any current or future correspondence attempts related to the message be ignored.

There are 2 sites mentioned here.

1) uscareerone.in is likely to be a fraudulent domain, "under construction" (in Russian) so possibly email only.
It has an American registrant who has almost certainly given false details (Orelia Cescon of Austin Texas has given a non-existent telephone number)

2) sapper.ethii.com, the origin of the email, is a sub domain of the possibly legitimate, possibly Bangladesh-based, ethii.com.
