    A contracting mate tells me he knows a good agent and I should send him my CV, so I do this and the agent rings me up.

    Agent: You've got some great names on your CV, I can get you in some great places.
    Me: Okay where?
    Agent: Well I've never worked with two of your biggest clients so if you can give me their contact details I'm sure I could ring them up and find you something there.
    Me: You've got to be kidding!

    Told my contracting mate about this too.
    Except that's completely open and up front.

    Ridiculous yes, but no deception.
