    I once had a recruiter call me to ask me if I knew anyone who did Linux
    kernel programming.  When I said yes, he got all excited and said that I
    was the "first person" he'd ever talked to that understood what kernel
    programming was!  Then he offered me a boatload of money to refer
    successful candidates.
    
    Unfortunately for him, I knew what company he was recruiting for
    (because of some of the hints he gave me), so when I referred people to
    him and he never followed up, I reported him to the company he was
    recruiting for and they cancelled his contract.
