If we assume that the person is a real recruiter, then I would say it probably won't be a real problem.

For the most part, the recruiting game can be fragile. The recruiter has to carefully cultivate the hiring managers they work with and mis-representing a resume or drowning the hiring manager in a storm of unqualified junk resumes will lead to a short career in the business.

You resume might be presented without your knowledge and with your name deleted to jump on an opportunity. The old "I've got a guy, let me see if he's still available". Of course they don't want to sell the manager on a guy they don't have because if the manager becomes enamored with that resume it might mean he'll be less interested in seeing the other guys the recruiter does have.

If we assume this guy is something other than a real recruiter, all bets are off.
