So what's your theory as to why this Indian Call Center Recruitment Situation (tm) is so prevalent? One big agency, Mitchell Martin, just got on board. Surely they would know that contacting a NYC or SF resident for a job NOT in NYC or SF but in a small town in Rhode Island, Ohio, Texas, etc. is truly a needle in a haystack? Someone is paying someone else money to get people to talk on the phone with people who live in the former places, to chat about positions in the latter places. Either the world has gone mad, or there's a business reason for the above discrepancy given how extremely widespread (I say, daily and via numerous agencies) it is.

No idea, I don't think cold calling people about a job meets any advertising requirement (which on further looking actually looks like it's related to sponsoring a green card application, not an H1B). Perhaps, they're phishing for more information to target scams? I've heard the IRS scams are more effective against immigrants, for example. The caller may not realize that's the purpose for the call. Could also just be annoy 1000 people, get one positive response, and that's good enough?
