Electrical Agent Phone Scam Alert! - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Greetings:

I have received multiple annoying, unsolicited recorded phone messages today from a job site called Electrical Agent. After the third one in a few hours, I filed a

complaint with the FCC. I encourage you to file FCC Form 1088, too.

Yes, my phone number is listed in the federal Do Not Call list.

I am utterly sick of these headhunter websites and agencies intruding on the privacy of people. They pass resumes and personal information around without regard for

clearly printed copyright notices and warnings against distribution. They employ companies who send web bots out to download every page on websites in search of resumes

to steal, and then charge other companies for the information that they stole.

If there is a lawyer out there in the audience (maybe a patent lawyer), is there any kind of massive class action lawsuit that could be mounted to put these scumbags out

of business? This has been going on for a long time, but the Internet has really provided a fertile hunting ground for unscrupulous recruiters.
