Perhaps unprofessional is a better description than shady. I've been in the recruiting field for a number of years, and an unsolicited, blast email to random people is not an effective recruiting strategy. I don't have any sales or real estate experience whatsoever, so I'm not sure how this ended up in my inbox.
I have seen other examples of this kind of email recruiting and in my opinion it's sloppy and I always question the seriousness of whoever is sending the emails. It's usually a recruiter/sourcer who is supposed to reach 'x' number of people to hit their numbers, so they just send something without any real attempt to target people with the qualifications that would be required for the position.
According to LinkedIn, the person who sent me this email is based out of Chicago and their profile shows a grand total of 2 connections. Also, the application link just directs you to a page where you can upload your resume. Most companies will have an application website that has you provide a lot more than just a resume, as well as telling you additional information about the organization and the job itself.
Anyway, this is just my long winded explanation on why I think the PhoenixMart people are unprofessional at best and shady at worst. Just my opinion of course.
