Got email from Shoaib Khan - "I have a position in a company in your city, please send resume". I did it and got a call from this guy (this is his number). He has STRONG accent and does not look like a recruiter... He asked about my desured rate, immediately agreed with it and then started asking personal information - date of birth, ssn(!). I said him to do not call me anymore and dropped the call.
Be careful, it is personal info collection!
called me, and I refused call 3 times, and they kept calling back until I answered. I told them I figured they'd get the point when I didn't answer the previous 3 times, stop calling me and go away. Heavy indian accent and I don't deal with them. Figure you don't speak english, you don't deserve my time. Never had any luck with these "recruiters" and it's a scam. number they are calling from is a relay switch so the number shows up as US number. All they are doing is siting in India at a call center spamming people's phones.
This number called me twice today on my VOIP line. I have not given my VOIP number out publicly. They rang only when I was on another call. I did not answer and will not in the future. They left 2 voice mail msgs. Each the same. Messages are 5 minutes long and nothing but elevator music. I came here to this site to see if others were complaining and they are. CALLER ID reads it as: NEW CANAAN CT.
I then researched their website PANZER Solutions and it looks fake!! They have no testimonials.
No FB page, Twitter Page has 2 tweets and next to nothing of followers.
Then went to linkedin page and they have a bad recommendation. http://www.linkedin.com/company/panzer-soluti ... trk=biz_product
Just another criminal / scammer / phone terrorist.
I also looked at their "company website" and it is nothing more than Wordpress's 2013 theme. Not to take anything away from Wordpress, but this is one of the less attractive themes I've seen. Given the company couldn't be bothered with setting up a professional website, I have doubts as to their so-called expertise.
the caller asked for Kevin Maxfield. no employee here by that name. that didn't deter the caller, who then asked for an IT guy. I put him on hold, then checked here for any posts. saw these helpful posts, and hung up on the guy.
This number is used by Panzer Solutions, aka Panzer Staffing, Panzer Technical, Panzer Systems, and more. When I did answer their calls, it was always an idiot from India who didn't pay attention to the resume content or job postings, and had NO useable IT knowledge. It doesn't matter if you put a message in bold at the top of your resume that says to email rather than calling, they are going to call you 3 or 4 times every minute or two before giving up. They will probably email you at the same time that they are calling. They also don't pay attention to acceptable job locations, so even though you say "within X miles of a zip code, they will call about jobs from all over the US.
ARE THEY LEGIT? No, not really. They are trolling. They will refuse to indicate the client's name, and require that you send them WAY too much personal information. DON'T DO IT!!! If you investigate it a bit, you'll find that the companies they are calling about, have absolutely no idea who they are, or will ask that you file your resume submittal via the job boards. There are many of these companies out there who will try to get you to come onboard, submit your resume to the client, and then (if the client doesn't know better) require the client to pay them a finder's fee, take them on as a subcontractor, and/or take a sizeable cut from your pay. IT GETS WORSE!!! Some such companies will post your resume to other clients after entering into ANY relationship with you, then try to talk you into taking the job. You don't buy cars, houses, insurance, etc. from someone without knowing who they are, so DON'T APPLY TO A JOB LIKE THAT!!! I hope this helps protect you and hurts their collection of personal information.
