I've had this happen several times now and it's truly puzzling. While scanning BP ads, I've noticed several ECCIE girls, and oddly most of them don't have a phone # listed on here. 'Provided after screening'.
I've contacted a few of them with their number on BP and all was good until I mentioned ECCIE, then all of a sudden they ask for handle and refs. What's up with that contradiction? Do they really trust BP guys more than ECCIE guys? I have no problem giving refs, I just don't like double standards.
