If I, or anyone, wanted to perform a social engineering attack on any  
of you, there are much easier ways...  All this question of  
legitimacy is a bit out there.

I think you misunderstood my post. I didn't say the
contacts or e-mails were coming from this list. I said
that I was getting unrelenting, unsolicited offers for
a CF developer in my area via Hotmail. I was simply
warning fellow developer's of a potential outside job
source that may be unscrupulous. I was trying to warn
you fellow developer's.

In brief:
I wasn't advertising my availability. I've had a
resume posted on Monster for years and never
deactivated it. I did however update it at one time
with my current phone number. That's why I am sure
this offer is coming from Monster records via the
Monster breach. I don't have any other resumes online,
nor have I ever posted a resume online other than
Monster. The number I have for the call is
052-174-294. I don't have the e-mail because I deleted
it. The e-mailer is definately an Indian name. The
phone call is definately an Indian woman. I received
the same message from this woman 3 times. The same
exact message. BTW - All "my" Monster referrals come
from "Monster Job Search Agent. Again, all my job hits
come from Monster! Not individuals. They are not
unsolicited. Do with this info what you will. If it's
legit I'm a dumbass. Kinda weird though that another
CFUG user has gotten the same messages, huh!




Same MO but different name. If this turns out to be
legit I'm going to feel like a huge ass but

All I have to say is you have no indication that its a foreign  
employer (the phone number is not a foreign #!).  And you should all  
read The World Is Flat before rambling off on offshoring, etc.

Wow, this is the same email I have been getting too.  She called me  
with a phone number starting with a 0 too.  I talked with her, but  
told her I was not interested, butthe job she is referring to  
is with AT & T because I got this posting from 3 or 4 other

I received the exact same email and call but from a local recruiter.  Not
sure where she found my resume, but it was an Atlanta recruiter with Atlanta
phone numbers.  So it sounds like the position itself is legit, but that
does not mean that someone out there isn't phishing for something using a
legit job posting.

Its not that a US company pays a foriegn company to pay for US
workers.Consulting companies In US have their recruiting team set up in
India.Recruiters in India make use of Skype or whatever to call people in
US.Most of the requirements are genuine.

Perfectly legal (and why shouldn't it be?).  Foreign companies pay US
workers for US jobs everyday.  Look at Toyota, Honda, etc. building cars
here.   This is already a global economy and becoming more so every day.

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Potential Pseudo Employer Phishers

Unfortunately, all the labor board is concerned with is whether you make
minimum wage and are paid overtime when worked over 40 hours per week
for those businesses that are not exempt from the overtime law. It is
cheap and underhanded and just about par for the course, but otherwise
not illegal to my knowledge.

lol, Isn't it funny that foreign companies are recruiting US
workers/consultants for US jobs. One way or another they will find a way
to take advantage of "outsourcing". They would probably tell the US
companies that their workers are local to India or whatever to maintain
that appeal. So a US company would pay a foreign company to pay a US
worker for a US job. Is that legal?

Wow, this is the same email I have been getting too.  She called me with
a phone number starting with a 0 too.  I talked with her, but told her I
was not interested, butthe job she is referring to is with AT & T
because I got this posting from 3 or 4 other recruiters here in atlanta.
She sent me a more complete job description from the email she already
had for me, which was from Dice. 
  
I am always apprehensive when I get foreign calls too.
