Just got a call from this agency also. They were incredibly cryptic regarding who they were, what their company did and what their objective was. Given that, I did not disclose who I was. After looking on this website, I realized I may have been given as a reference for a colleague and called the company back. They were not able to locate either my name or an individual I thought it might be regarding. I left my number and explained had the first individual calling just stated up front that I was given as a reference I would have been happy to speak with them. The call center person agreed and gave my information to their manager. I received a call back, but my goodness, what an ordeal to go through. If I hadn’t taken my time to research and call them back, my friend would not have received this reference. I wonder how many other references are rejected in this manner. Bottom line…BE CLEAR ABOUT YOUR INTENTIONS. You will get better responses!
They call to inquire about references for people. For example, if someone listed you as a professional reference, this company calls you to give that reference.

Well, they are still in business and calling people early in the morning. Exactly what reference I could have given is questionable since I have been retired for almost 15 years, know no one who is looking for a job and have no professional relationship with any enterprise. Since my call was a dead silence response I've a feeling that these folks are just telemarketers. A quick look at their website reveals a very slick and uninformative set of pages. I'd add them to the blocklist.
