And they say Facebook knows too much about people

Email from a Facebook recruiter:
I haven’t heard back from you regarding opportunities at Facebook which tells me one of three things:

  1. You’re already employed with 100% satisfaction at Amazon Web Services (AWS), and if that’s the case please let me know so I can stop messaging you.
  2. You’re still interested but haven’t had the time to get back to me. Please use this link to schedule time on my calendar.
  3. You’ve fallen and can’t get up - in that case let me know and I’ll call 911 🚨🚑

Please let me know which one, because I’m starting to worry… Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you.

This actually answers a question I've had for some time: why have 8 Facebook recruiters sent nearly 40 messages over 5 years to an email address that's not on my resume pitching jobs in Seattle, a city that's a thousand miles from where I live? Perhaps the answer is that they think I've been working at Amazon the whole time.
