Scammers
Scammers, pretend they have clients ask for a bunch of references, they reach out to all of them and never get back. A reference of mine said they were digging for customers asking more about the company than actually verifying, wasting over 20 minutes of their time.

They're scammers
They're scammers, be careful. They will promise a great job with very high rate, but then very aggressively ask for references or information about your contacts. Do not supply them any information! The job they offer is fake, they will ghost you after they get the information they need from you.

They do not respect privacy and GDPR
They suggest you a good job and ask your CV. Then they will ask you a lot of document including ID cards. And then they ask you a list of references and then they will not answer anymore!
It is waisting time! they do not respect privacy and do not clean your data from their database(it is not matter how many times you ask!). The following names are among their bad recruiters:
Kian Patel
Amy Collier
Jordan Edner
Vlera Aliu
Ayman Hodge
Rhey Ramirez
Christopher Heppell
Aimee Jackson
James Roache
James Evans

They are basically scammers of a recruitment company, or market-digers at your expense. They pretend like they have lots of clients and want to help you sincerely with recruitment, then they ask your for references and names and contacts of those names, and then disappear.
