Personnel Focus Deceiving and Fake Job Application to Make You Think You've Been Offered a Job! Denver, Colorado

I was frequenting job sites for employment this summer and came across a job titled "Data Entry and Document Preparation Clerk" in Dallas, Texas. As I had worked with employment/staffing agencies in the past, I didn't think the company was illegitimate, but as I did research, I found a very similar email to some other postings here. Here is the email I received:

As some of the other posts have stated, I have yet to receive a response, and I "applied" to this job 2 months ago. I have sent several emails and have yet to receive a response.
