Tyler Johnson sent e-mails to me saying he could find me good work in China. He asked for some personal details from me like: my full name, date of birth, etc. I never heard from him again. Has anyone else here received mail from him? I didn't mind so much that he never replied with a job but felt a bit uncomfortable that he took personal info and never replied again.

He may be a recruiter. I got someone's email address whose name happens to be "Tyler", though the rest of his particulars would have to be double-checked. Care to PM me with more details?

TYLER JOHNSON (aka Durden) WAS the guy in FIGHT CLUB played by Brad Pitt, though I enjoyed Edward Norton's acting equally, Tyler was awesome.

I hope this helps.

Of course it did not help as this has nothing to do with my question.
