I find it helps to block the numbers on your phone as you go, but it feels a bit like The Sorcerer's Apprentice -

Hello?

".....hellooooooo? I'm from InfoTekSysMegaTech Systems, am I speaking with Ms. PerfectStorm?"
"Oh yes, I'm not looking for any jobs thank you"
"OK... well in that case I have a new job opportunity in Edin-burg, are you interested in this job opportunity"

Why do I think they're now an Indian agency? Some of them haven't even bothered to update their email signatures.
I've swapped the agents name with a fake name. Everything else is real.
Have a read of the google reviews of eteam - caveat emtor.......Leave a comment:

I got a call last week from Hirexa stating to offer me a contract at a government based organisation in the UK but they need my ID within the hour. Alarm bells rang as it was clearly an Indian call centre. I do a bit of research and they are not on TrustPilot and there are a few posts saying scam company. They asked whether I could commute to the location on the south coast so clearly don't know the UK as I live in the NW. They called me back about 4 times trying to get my information and in the end I blocked the number.
A few days later someone from the UK called stating to be from the same company. So I called the "government organisation" to check whether it was legit and they told me that they never use agencies to recruit staff and always recruit using the in-house team and that I wasn't the first person to call them with the same question that week. The UK based guy told me this was rubbish and showed me a screenshot of the email he sent to name@gov.uk so I search for the person on LinkedIn and he doesn't exist.
Very tempting as the job sounded good, but too many suspicious links, so no thank-you.Leave a comment:
