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.

My name is a common name for the time, but is spelled slightly different and has several almost sound-alikes. I get all kinds of names. I don't even do what you do, I just say "Well, you couldn't be bothered to spell my name right. Don't contact me again."

But yeah, all that stuff just makes for an annoying time when they're blowing up your email with junk jobs, low pay, and temporary positions in California. Recruiters don't read any of the information you give them, it's all keyword matches.
