what have you done, and how did things turn out?

Agency got my resume, sent it to a company un-authorized. At at about the same time a peer was sending that manager my resume.

I lost out on what may have been a pretty good position, forever barred from that company.

I didn't do anything, couldn't. They wouldn't tell me who the agency was, other than it wasn't the one I had been dealing with.

That was a decade ago. I don't know what I'd do now: maybe write a polite blog post about it, so if someone googled my name they'd have my side of the story.
