Wanted to know if I knew anyone looking for a great job opportunity in the Pittsburgh area.

It's actually Hickory Farms calling about job opportunities.

I got a phone call from the 252-563-1978 number as well. He said his name is Keith Ducatee, and he works for Headway Corporation, and he was located in North Carolina. He said he'd found a resume at Career Builder first, and he wanted to know if I was the person who was listed on the resume and whether I was at the address he had on the resume and that the phone number on the resume as well was correct. I have never posted at CB.com, so immediately my big red lights started flashing. He then changed his story and said that he'd obtained the information from Monster.com. At that point I asked for his name, his company, where he was currently, when he found my resume, supposedly, and where I could reach him. He gave me a different number to call than the one he called on, 866-377-9587 which is in accordance with what other folks have posted here. He stated that he found the resume on 4.25.07, which is odd, why would it take a company so long to call on a resume they found?
I refused to verify whether or not my name was who he was looking for, and I also asked for his boss' name, which he refused to give to me, saying if I needed any further information I could call the number he gave me, there was no reason to have that information. He said he would remove the resume he found from *his* system, he emphasized "his" in the sentence, which leads me to believe that the resume he has is still on other systems in the company.

I had gotten the same 252-563-1978 about a job opportunity and i tried to call them back to give me some more information about the job because the person was so vague in the description of the job and she just repeated the same thing that she had said in the message. I wonder if its a scam? I've already traced the call to a specific location using white pages. the # is a landline phone. it's not a business, so i don't think it's a legit thing, because the woman said she was with a company called Headway but you'd think if it was a legit job opp. she would give people more information on the matter. Whatever...

I missed a call from this number on my cell and when I called back all I got was a busy signal.

I had a call from a person named Shelly. She said that I have a great local job opertunity. She then told me to call 1-866-377-9587 and to press OP for Shelly. When I called all I received was a busy signal so I called back latter and I got the same problem.

Came on my cell caller id (252) 563-1978 - they left a message. Sating that they had seen my resume online and wanted to contact me about a job opperuntity. For one I am not looking for a job and my reusmes that are posted in Monster and CareerBuilder are on privte. So anyone wanting to offer me a job would have to email me first. So I assume that one of those companies is selling my number to outside sources.

From the number that was left on my voicemail 866-377-9587, I searched and it belongs to Headway Corporate Resources in Westminster, MD. But the number above is in Tarboro, NC.

Got the same thing.  I called back all I got was call back later by a recorded message possibly by the phone service. My cell rang - caller id came up of 252 563 1978. No one there. No one left a message. I did not call back.
