How not to recruit - Part 2

I received an email from an agency recruiter yesterday which was a real peach, and a prime example of how not to recruit. She claimed she knew me, and that we had worked together previously (false - I only do direct sourcing). She sent me a CV for a Developer role (without specifying which role it was). The CV turned out to be that of a Manual Tester..... She also claimed the candidate was really interested in working with a competitor of our company!! That was the best part for me. I wonder how the candidate would feel if he was aware his details were being spammed around in such a useless way.
