They have contacted me numerous times about an AT&T job in the Chicago suburb of Arlington Heights IL that I am qualified for based on wireless experience specifically for a contractor job with no benefits at $13.00/hr and emailed me a job description that appears legitimate. This may ring true at first glance. There are two AT&T call centers there in Arlington Heights IL. I used to go past both daily on my way to work when I worked for AT&T Mobility which has its call center in another suburb, but these two locations are not wireless call centers.
So as in every scam there is an apparent ring of truth to the lie, namely there is an AT&T call center there (you find anything on Google maps!), it's just not a wireless call center. Hell there is probably an AT&T office in almost any sizeable town in the USA!
Also the jobs in the job description offering $13.00/hr are payed at a much higher rate by AT&T for the real jobs that are bound by a CWA union contract with benefits. While AT&T can and has outsourced jobs outside the US, those in the US are bound by those contracts. So either these guys are really trying to undermine the union workers with a scab operation or (more likely the truth) it just a job scam, in any case even if this was a real job offer they offering to screw you over on pay and benefits.
Funny thing is being an former employee AT&T calls or emails jobs to me fitting my background all the time (sadly most are not nearby because AT&T is sending call center jobs to low wage states like WV and NM). Even so, I recently meet with an AT&T HR rep to take an assessment test for a job here in Chicago and mentioned getting calls of this nature from "recruiters" asking for SSN and DOB info and was informed that AT&T doesn't ask recruiters for that information and should be very wary of anyone claiming they need such information BTW AT&T's real job site is http://att.jobs/
They're an India based Recruiting firm that is annoying as hell. They just keep calling and calling and never do any research beforehand to understand that the jobs they want you to take are nowhere near where you even live !

Received a call from this number on my mobile phone. Didn't recognize the number so didn't answer it. No voicemail left. Going on my phone's auto-reject list.
Found number in my missed calls list, no voicemail. Don't know anyone in Georgia. Creating a temporary contact as "India" Recruiting Firm and putting it on auto-reject.
