I am a recruiter with a legitimate firm, and I totally understand why everyone is upset about this. I just found out about this scam today, because they were using my company's name. We don't know how they know anything about us, but they are fraudulently using our information. The way to tell the difference is by actually looking up they company they say they are from. Most recruiters will call you, their sites don't require a cell phone #/cell phone carrier, and they won't send you text messages. I find people jobs every day; please don't associate this scam with all recruiters.
