I had an interview tonight with a Banking company and it turns out that they were nowhere near interested in hiring me. What happened was that somehow they obtained a copy of my resume and called me up. "We're interested in setting up an interview to hire you for a position" So, I went to the interview tonight and the whole time, they didn't even ask me about my resume, references, my life, or anything that you would expect to be questioned at a job interview. What actually happened was that they were just giving me a lecture on how to get credit, loan, saving money, etc etc. Basically the person who was interviewing me was a human spam mail.
It pissed the fuck out of me that the company found my resume and use it to try to get me to become their latest customer. Has anyone been involved in this kind of thing? I'm looking to consult a lawyer but am I overreacting?
This is what I found in the "Personal Information Protection and Electronic Document Act"
