Is this MetLife/East Penn Financial interview a scam or a real job?
I received an unsolicited email earlier tonight offering me a job interview with MetLife as a "Financial Services Representative/Financial Advisor". The email says the company I will be interviewing with is the Allentown branch of East Penn Financial Group, and as best I can find out, they are a real company and a real subsidiary of MetLife.
Has anyone else received similar emails? Is it a scam or do I actually go to the interview on Thursday?

I have no idea... definitely be VERY careful. People find the most convincing of ways to screw you over, sometimes. Receiving the job offer by email is sketchy enough. If you didn't even request it, it sounds like some variation of a scam.

I would be careful. Are you actually looking for a job at this moment in time? If not, don't go. It may be a scam. If you do decide to go, get someone to sit in the car outside and watch out for you. Have an agreed time and plan as to how this person will get you out if you are not out within that time scale. He could plead some emergency or another meeting or something. If you are happy tell this friend that you will be a few minutes and will be along. That way the interviewer will know that there is someone keeping tabs on you.

If it is real, then it has to be for a terrible job. What company would send unsolicited emails looking for job applicants? This is a loser either way...scam or not.
If it is real, they want you sell life insurance.
