Eugene called me too!! same thing your name came across my desk! What a creep, said the company named all hushed like he didn't want me to know! They've called me before like 5 years ago. They are a pain.

Yep, Eugene seems to be the one they use. Didn't like his message, didn't identify his company. "Came across his desk"- nice script buddy. Because I'm on unemployment, one of my resumes on OhioJobs (which is connected to Monster) must be made public so I figured I'd be getting a few crackpot calls.

I also got a text (text messaging for a phone prescreen? No, thank you) and a phone call from another company, also not identifying themselves.

You know who I am, but if you really think I'm going to call you back without telling me who you are affilated with, then don't bother.

I just played that message multiple times.  Eugene said his name, "Might be interested in interviewing.."  must be a script - but when he said the name of the firm, he said it fast and verrrry quietly.  I gave up trying to figure it out.  Glad to see what it was really about.

Thanks, all, for saving me the hassle of calling "Eugene" back. I got his VM and found this string when I Googled the number. And like many, I had just updated my resume info on Ohio Means Jobs / Monster,com, so clearly they are monitoring that source to fish for products. Interesting, though, that Primerica seems mostly an up and up financial services broker for those in the market for such things. They just need to work on their cold call strategy and maybe more of us would be calling him back!

Just got a call from our man Eugene...I will say, he identified his business as Primerica, which is a legitimate company. I did a preliminary, cursory check and it's a classic MLM, though Eugene played that off when I suggested it. I'm curious as to how "my name came across his desk", and yet he needs me to bring a copy of my Resume...anyway, I digress and...I pass!
