They would be more subtle than that. If they have your CV then they have enough information about you to create a plausible story about how they "heard something from someone that used to work at x".
It was a reputable pimp that told me about this after he sent me to my first ever contract interview. He asked how the interview went and I mentioned that my phone had been ringing red hot that day with calls from recruitment agencies. He explained why.
