I received a call from this number at our transcription company.  He said his name was Mike Jones and he was with CAT Healthcare in New Jersey.  Very thick accent and pronounced each word very carefully.  Wanted to talk to the office manager. When I told him I was the OM, he said he wanted to talk to me about providing transcription for 5 cents/line.  I told him we were NOT INTERESTED.

A man with a heavy Indian accent called me yesterday in the car on my cellphone and I could only understand when he said "PHP Developer".

Then I received an email, I'm assuming from the same group of scammers:

Note how this email doesn't make any sense...

For those reading this list, I think Monster has sold out their resume database to some unsavory companies. Many of these are (apparently) in New Jersey, Texas and other Indian-recruiter hot beds. I have researched the 50x companies that have called or emailed me and actually all appear to be legitimate (or barely so) and even in the US. However, I am very concerned about this data floating around and have for myself decided to cancel everything with Monster and then assume every kind of call/email I get around this to be potential fishing for identity-theft (because I honestly cannot tell if they are really IT recruiters and IF they are, frankly I don't want to do business with such clearly unprofessional, sloppy individuals).

Just got a call from this place.. saying they found my resume on Monster / Dice and were wanting to see if I would be interested in any jobs in San Francisco, CA .. LOL

Low Talker / Middle Eastern Guy

I said no .. than he kept talking, so had to hang up.

I got a call from this number.  I would say hello and get an almost "echoed" hello - as if the phone was echoing back, but not in my voice.  My numbers are ALL on the DO NOT CALL registry!  I have to wonder what the use of it is if we still get these SPAM/SCAM calls!
