Got this just a bit ago:

"Hi stupidbird, this is Anna with jobrecruiter. I found your resume on ziprecruiter and I'd like to call you about a low-rent job that's so far below your skill level that it's not going to pay anywhere near what you're making. What's a good time to call?"

My reply:

"Hi Anna, I don't have a resume on ziprecruiter, if there's one there it's been placed without my permission. Can you send me a link?"

No reply of course, and I haven't used that email address in about two years due to it being in one of the many, many LinkedIn breaches. Why would you start out a contact with a direct lie? I realize it's a template but still. It makes you look really bad and lazy and I certainly don't want to speak with you.

A lot of times recruiters get paid either based on applicants, or they get commission from hires. They are basically sales people. The recruiters with the best jobs even get residuals, meaning they basically get like $1 an hour from every employee they recruit, which can end up being a lot of money. Their company will get $10-$15 an hour for what you work.They have all kinds of tricks

Of course. This one, however, started their crap off by making things up about me.
