Go to BP websites (contact), they will respones you soon.

I have same experience also, with dupont.

Receive same letter on a regular basis on my email, but I just ignore them. All these people are telling you the right thing: that this recruitment thing you get is a total SCAM. HR recruitment departments do not send from yahoo or hotmail addresses.

Obviously anything from BP is not going to come from yahoo or hotmail.

General rule of thumb: If a company can't spend $2 to register a domain and have their own email, you don't want to work for them.
