Sure, they get up to all sorts but I wouldn't jump to conclusions because clients can be really odd too.

One of my friends caught a Glasgow based agency with 'their pants down', while using usual ‘fishing techniques’. Now they arranged a tele-conf interview with a ‘consulting company’. Very suspicious interview as there wasn't any question from the interviewers!. Interview talk was just about information on their new project & one minute talk on my friend's experience!! After that one of the interviewers concluded the interview by saying ‘he is happy with what he heard from my friend!

Fishing exercise almost certainly,,,,,or a bored agent who probably has been found out and kicked out by a frustrated agency boss by now!
