You can't trust any of 'em. Unless they are from a known company (primary source), I won't accept. Sick and tired of overseas recruiters trying to win the lottery. They land one deal it's a fortune for them.

I work in a VERY large company that has offices around the world. Hell, our companies IT arm is probably larger than many other companies. We have offices in India that are mostly for IT work (our company has follow the sun support for most things) so I'm not prejudiced against Indian folks or them providing IT support or anything. But I absolutely ignore any and all head hunter requests from anyone that seems like they may be from an offshore head hunter.

I've had some colleagues start dialog with some of those offshore head hunters before, and they have run into some unethical practices either by having their resumes appropriated for use by others (yeah, one guy ended up interviewing another guy who had the same experience, no, the EXACT same experience, dates, locations, jobs, etc...). Another had his resume submitted to several jobs without his knowledge which kept him from being able to submit through the head hunter that he was intentionally working with because once the resume is submitted by one person, that is the person that gets the credit regardless of who else tries to submit.
