Is it illegal to sign someone up for army recruiters with their phone number and other personal information?
Yes, they are violating more then 1 law in this case actually as far as I can tell, what you need to do is have her report it to the police and make sure she has all details possible when she does it. Laws vary from state to state on those issues, so I can't tell you exactly what they are, but your local law enforcement should be able to help. They will need to know who exactly is doing it, and what it is they are doing as far as giving out her information goes. I believe it also falls under harassment because of the phone calls and stuff she is getting because of her ex's actions.
First Appointment With Air Force Recruiter?
The recruiters job, in summary, is to: - Get you interested in the military, and specifically, in a particular job that needs to be filled. - Screen you to ensure there's nothing disqualifying that will come up later (medical, legal or other). - Generate the sizable amount of paperwork required to get you processed into the service. To that end, the recruiter will be talking with you about various jobs (to get you interested and even excited), going through your background to make sure there are no surprises, and starting the various forms that need to be filled out during the process. These steps can be done somewhat out of order if need be, so the lack of records will not be an issue on an initial visit. He'll need them eventually (and can actually help you determine how to get them, in most cases), but he can still talk with you now. He'll probably be talking with you about interests, giving you a "mini-ASVAB" (somewhat of a screening test before you actually take the ASVAB test, if you haven't already), and having you fill out forms with various bits of personal information. Just let him run with it---he's done this before, probably hundreds of times, and he knows what information is critical right now. You'll often hear people say that recruiters lie to you all the time, and I'd be lying myself if I told you recruiters always tell you like it is 100% of the time. While I think it's rare these days for recruiters to outright fabricate information, they're not always good at being accurate about certain programs and requirements. Some of this might be intentional, most of it is not, but all of it affects your decision. For this reason, always question anything that you don't understand or that seems a bit odd. Don't be afraid to ask for clarification or to be shown things in writing. Once you sign a contract, it's a binding legal document that you can't really change. Most of all, don't be afraid to pull the plug on it all if you decide you've changed your mind. Contrary to what they tell you, if you haven't shown up for basic training yet, you still have options for getting out of it. I think the military is an excellent thing though, and if you're not afraid to put in some hard work, what you get out of it will far exceed what you could ever give back in return.
A recruiter called asking me to send a picture of my social security card, is it safe to do that?
While I do not believe your recruiter has an insidious motives, s/he is not entitled to know your SSN until a job offer is issued and accepted. Here is what I would do. I would tell her politely that I would like to keep my SSN private until a job offer is issued, negotiated, and accepted, and will be happy to submit it for the background check. While technically, by the law, you don't have to give them your SSN until I-9 is issued, most employers will do a background check first because it is just more convenient for them (however, they may issue I-9 before the background check if the offer is accepted). In the meantime, they can use a placeholder number in their system. Yes, some idiots still develop HR systems where SSN is the primary key for all applicants.If the recruiter is worried about your work authorization, then you can say the magic words that by law they have to accept: I am authorized to work in the United States without any restrictions. This describes US Citizens, permanent residents, and holders of EADs and some OPTs - if you have different authorization, you may have to modify this statement accordingly.P.S. I am with John on this. I have declined to give my SSN to doctors for over a decade, and I have heard every excuse in the book. They are all BS.P.P.S. I did not realize the question is about military recruiting. I am not familiar with it, but the same general principles apply. They don't need your SSN until you are officially "hired". Also, there is no issue with your work authorization for US army since they can recruit pretty much anyone who is in the country legally even if they are not authorized to work (yep, that's true).
Is that recruiter right to ask their candidates, when and how they came in the US and what was visa status?
TLDR: Potentially not appropriate not enough information in your question.It depends on how the questions were posed and at what stage of the screening process. If these questions were part of the initial screening process, and the recruiter was working for a client company of mine, I would be having a serious conversation with the HR Director to ensure their recruiters are properly trained on how to ask these questions.There are laws in place that prohibit employers from discriminating (even during the hiring process) against individuals based on their country of origin or their citizenship/immigration status. See: Preventing Discrimination.Over the past decade, the Office of Special Counsel (the federal government’s lawyers tasked with investigating these types of discrimination complaints against employers) has guidance instructing employers on how they may inquire about a candidate’s work eligibility without infringing on the anti-discrimination laws.The resources are publicly available so any company who has the means of using a recruiter should ensure their recruiters are also exercising professionalism and properly trained.Disclaimer: This answer was written for educational purposes and not to be construed as legal advice.

MILITARY recruiter asked for social security #?
Yes you'll need to give the recruiter your ss #.
Is it illegal for an employer to ask your date of birth on an online job application as a required field.?
I realize that for some positions they require you to be 18 or 21, however that question can be asked simply by stating the question "are you 18 or over" which many site do without pinpointing your exact age. I have read the training manual for NAPS which states that the question cannot be asked due to age discrimination and our policy in recruiting at my company was never to ask that question for the same reason. I am over 40 which puts me in the category for age discrination. You may be able to get a basic idea of a persons age in an interview, however at least you got the interview to discuss your skills and sell yourself. By asking the question online you can immediately disqualify them by age. If this is not an illegal practice, then it should be!
Should I put my social security number on an online job application?
Nowadays,It's not adviseable to put your social security info over the internet because of the growing report of frauds and scams in the society.Unless you have a proof of security of the Company's website.I would prefer to show my SS card physically to the recruiter than to document it over the net.Thank you.
I gets many calls regarding jobs, who asks me to deposit some amount of money (1500-2500) for creating a referral before conduction of any interview. Are these reliable?
I guess, am qualified to answer this question as I have been through this desperate phase of “getting job at any cost” after my graduation.Get this, No genuine employer will offer you job without interview for some cheap money or whatever reason. If they are offering a direct job bypassing the interview and asking you to pay for that, its scam and STAY AWAY.I assume the calls you get are regarding job "interviews" in specific. There are some genuine consultancies or human resource organisations which really want to help aspirants to find Jobs they deserve. Such kinds don’t charge anything from candidates, because they will be getting paid by companies. So, if any person/org is asking money for arranging interviews again STAY AWAY.I did little search and found these links on internet. List of fraudulent consultancies / Agencies that you should be aware of.fake COMPANY & CONSULTANCIES- By IBM ,TCS&ACCENTUREfake consultanciesAlso, I strongly advise you to do your own research on the consultancy or agency you got the call from. Apparently, at any given metro city there are at least 50 scamster agencies waiting to con job seekers.While we are at it, I also want to warn you about fake certificate rackets. There are some agencies who offer fake work experience to candidates in exchange for hefty sum of money. There are lot of reasons why you should walk away from such offers. However I'd like to state just one major reason"It's an offence and the offender will end up jobless and will probably never find one in future also"These kind of offers are nothing but troubles disguised as opportunities. Some day they are gonna reveal themselves and cause you lot of painAcquire skills, prepare well for the interviews and earn your job. There are always opportunities for skilled and confident people.
