Reply #4: recruiters have been doing this scam for YEARS

[musette_sf]

some years ago, when i was desperately and aggressively job hunting, i got contacted by an agency that will go unnamed, saying they had seen my resume, blah blah, had some great opportunities to talk to me about.

so i get all professionaled-up and drive on down (spending precious money on gas).

the bottom feeding douche who summoned me, presented me with 2 vague descriptions of supposed "jobs" that were not in my areas of expertise and not in the pay range i realistically sought. when i responded appropriately ("spending any time or effort pursuing these 'opportunities' is a waste"), i got the "well, then, can you help us out by referring leads to us?"

and got phone calls and emails out the gazoo for months with the same "got any leads?" bs.

these losers make the guys in Glengarry Glen Ross look almost ethical.
