    Always receive a lot of mail from them. Never read them. Spam . When I reply, they never call back. Just time-waisters.

      Just get a throw away email address (and phone number) to use when you are looking for work and bin them when you have a contract.

        These are just the sample e-mails you get from random agencies who have your e-mail and your profile may have had one keyword.

          They are jsut finding out who is out there, this is something most agencies do.

          You have to be prepared that they will fish and try and head up your client, but you don't have to give them any information you don't wnat to. If they want to use you then they will regardless of whether you give them a lead or not.
