One "nefarious" use of a respectable person's resume is to erase the personal 
information & replace it with someone else's.  I've seen mine used that way in 
the past.  Person says he worked at the same company I was at for the same time 
period in the same position & I don't know them from Adam.  Bad idea on the 
recruiters side as we have not used that recruiter since.  But then they are 
busy and lots of people write very bad resume's, so why not capitalize on 
someone else's successful resume?  I mean what's the chance that the person you 
got it from will be looking at the "borrowed" one.

Just remember Murphy's Law.

Exactly! Just don't provide personal information in your resume

That was sort of my point.  I'm not sure how a resume could be used negatively.

I'd have to make sure there was no personal info (such as address, or phone) on 
it - which is different than if I sent it directly to a company or rep that I 
trusted.

And how your resume can be used? Just ask them for the job description and let 
us know why you think you shouldn't send the resume ))

I've been contacted by a recruiter via LinkedIn about an Oracle DBA position 
that is 60% travel, full benefits, and good pay.  Says 'Assignments change 
every few months'.  The company website for the recruiter is in the Midwest I 
believe.
The recruiter uses a Yahoo account.  The company website has 2 plain HTML pages.

He wants me to send my resume.  The emails are written well, none of the usual 
earmarks of a scam that I might expect.  He's provided his phone number as well.

I'm wary of sending my resume to someone who may not be on the 'up and up' as 
I'm not sure what nefarious purposes it might be used for. (If that makes 
sense).  May be I am paranoid?

Thoughts?
