The trouble is that the scum who do this probably think that lying and cheating is normal life, nothing special to comment on. That's why I only now contact agents that I already know. I see no need to continue working with people where I'd want to wipe my hand after shaking theirs.

Yep, I got the same email. W**kers.
I emailed them back and said "just send me the job spec first and I'll get back in touch".. no reply.

Got an e-mail from them today:
Hi Stu
I've seen your CV on Jobserve and have a couple of jobs that potentially look suitable for you, however I could do with a bit more information.

So, I clicked the link. It all starts quite innocuously - what role are you looking for, salary expectations etc.
Then you scroll down. Please add two references "to add credibility"
Then you scroll down some more. Please provide details of other jobs you've applied for and any other interviews you've had/have planned.
How many people fall for this?
