No phone contact? What about at
http://www.itbrainiac.com/contact_us.html (via the "Contact Us" tab)?

It doesn't strike me as all that unusual for names to be absent from a
website... is there anything in particular that makes you think this is
a bogus company? I don't see anything that strikes me as particularly
odd (cursory look). Except that they don't seem to be in whitepages.com
(but the number from their website maps to a NY, NY landline, matching
their contact address).

Is that unusual for recruiters? I get that sort of unsolicited (but
apparently career-relevant), generic job offer all the time. All the
less surprising if you consider they probably blast the mail to a
prepared list of potentially-interested email addresses (culled from
resumes?)
