Received a VM from Michael early June saying that he was the assistant to Paula Abshire of Hannen & Assoc. a retained search firm. Never planned to call back but was curious about these random calls. Never give SS# out - confirmed with a recruiter friend that this is not part of any process.

Paula Abshire contacted me and said she found my resume on a job site and knew of a position that I was qualified for that she was trying to fill. I corresponded by email with her and this week she left me a voice message asking for my social security number so she could verify if I was available for rehire by a former employee. I didn't give her the number. A recruiter friend told me to tell her to go f%#& herself. Instead, I called her back and told her to never call me again. Then I sent an inquiry to their website and got a phone call from the owner Kevin Hannen. He said he didn't do anything illegal and other bS. I asked him for his contact at my former employer. I also asked for his company address. I eventually reported the company to the BBB of Lake Charles, LA.
I received the same type of call today from the "assistant" (who did not leave his name) of Paula Abshire at my work number. After reading the above message, I am choosing to not return the phone call. Thanks for posting this information! The number left for me to return the phone call is 337-404-3629.
I could post the same as Kelly's above. The assistant did leave a name (Michael). This search firm has contacted me before. I have not returned their calls and don't plan to.
Received a phone call today, and here's a modified version of how Google Voice translated the message. If it sounds familiar, it's probably a stock message
