The caller id on my cell also says that the call came from Switzerland. While most numbers in the caller id have a 1, then U.S. area code, then the 7 digit phone number. Mastech's number shows up as +4122001197. It happens that +41 is the Switzerland country code and 22 is even an area code within Switzerland, but then 7 digits should follow.
Anyways, I think they are calling from India and post Mastech's U.S. domestic phone number in the caller ID.
I have been contacted by them before and recently by their personnel with Indian names and accents. They have left voicemails and even e-mailed. Its no wonder Indian folks are calling as I found a picture with Indian employees on Glassdoor.com that is captioned, "Mastech Bangalore Office Inauguration 11/18/14." I surmise that they use these overseas personnel to troll job boards and aggressively offer potential jobs to job seekers. They may be a legit recruiting firm, but I am wary to ever consider working with them because:
1. They are out of state to me.
2. I have never heard of them before they contacted me.
3. I did not apply to a job with them.
4. Staffing agency will eventually need all of your personal info to work with them and I am not comfortable with that especially through people overseas.
