I have received 3 calls from this number, so far, today. My phone app bounced the caller directly to voicemail without ringing the phone... but they did not bother to leave any message. If this is a legitimate recruiter for contract employment, they are exceptionally unprofessional and certainly not to be trusted.
Of course, I've discovered that virtually every such call from New Jersey falls into the 'untrusted' category, since I do not know ANYONE in NJ, or on the East Coast for that matter. But if you are contacting me for a local contract position in Arizona and you are on the East Coast, I'm not going to be talking to you in the first place. I will apply for the position through a local staffing agency.
Got a call this morning from a woman named Maniska and could not understand her and she asked me if I applied for a recruiter job. Then she sent me an email saying she found my resume online and the email looks legit but the phone call is very sketchy. I am assuming this is a scam to get more of my personal information.
They are asking for lots of information including the last 4 digits of SSN., This is strange!

Another Indian recruiting firm that leaves messages in a heavy Indian accent offering jobs that are 500 miles away with more experience required than what you have, even though they claimed to have read your resume. Probably not even located in America like they claim to be because they call from VOIP numbers.
They have now called from two different telephone numbers with two different area codes. I wish I could block them all. During a time I am seriously looking for employment, this type of call truly irritates me.
