Real Recruiting email?

I was just wondering if anyone can verify this email appleworldwiderecruiting@email.apple.com

is a legitimate recruiting email, it was sent to me by a Shaz M.

I have my suspicions as each time an apostrophe is used it replaced by these characters: ’

This old and archived thread suggests the address is real IF you initiated contact with Apple by expressing an interest in working for Apple retail:

The scrambling of the apostrophe does not concern me much. I've received plenty of legit mails where the text encoding on my computer or the sender's were not on good terms and some characters went walkabout.


Were the address something like apple.email.com instead of email.apple.com, I would be more concerned. This is the full address from an Apple Discussion email I got only this morning:



When I select the addressIt is "email.Apple.com." And is a legti message from Apple


If the address looks the same as it does in the initial display when you hover the cursor or click the down arrow in Apple Mail, it is likely real. Here is a sample of how hovering or clicking showed two spoofed addresses in mail I received. The first one claimed to be Apple ID support



but Apple does not use Hotmail.


Another that perported to be my old email provider but was not:



"serve.com" was NOT my provider.


Anyway, the question remains whether you at some point expressed an interest to Apple in working for them in some capacity. If not, ignore.
