Years ago I used to interact with what I call "H1B recruiters"

I have taken their calls, responded to their emails, expressed my interest in the position they were selling. But they have never progressed further, no call backs, no updates that they sent my resume to their clients, no attempts to schedule interviews with their clients, no follw up stating their client isnt interested, etc. I did this for a few years before I ultimately stopped responding to their emails, block their contact info, say im not interested when they call, etc. Some have been relentless, claiming there is an urgent need, called multiple times a day until I answer, but the interactions all end the same and go nowhere.
I can look back through old emails and see sometimes 15 emails from different H1B recruiters for the same position. 

For those who do not know, what they are doing is misleading and disingenuous. It is part of the process to create false demand for H1B visas. Part of  the H1B visa process is companies have to prove they attempted to recruit/hire citizens before claiming they need to tap into the foreign labor market via H1B visas.

Now that i am job searching again they have caught wind and started using me for their H1B recruitment campaign again.

How should we deal with these scam recruiters? Ignoring them or claiming you are not interested still gives them what they want: the fake attempt to recruit citizens.

There’s no shortage of skilled developers here. Depending on the size of the project, if it’s something I can’t solo, I can set you up with a based team of developers from my network. We have existing services we can tap into for navigating censorship, deplatforming & demonetization.
