Who answers "Employer Information Withheld" listings?

Or company "Anonymous"?

With all the identity theft potential these days, how can you be sure who your information is going to?

Or for that matter, when "only reply by e-mail" is the only avenue available for submitting a resume.

Some companies have such a reputation (not positive) perhaps this is the only way of getting a response?

A few others perhaps are the "once in a lifetime" opportunities, trying to keep a low profile. (Part 91 owner seeks pilot to fly family once a week out and back to second home in Caribbean for $150K / year).

How many others are simply a tool to gather resumes to show the current disgruntled (as opposed to gruntled) pilots that there are 1000's of other pilots looking for their job?

Why can't a company be up front on who you are applying to?

I'm sure I've sent some off. I have to admit I've never thought of the whole "identity theft" thing, but that seems like a good point. I always figured they just didn't want to be bombarded with phone calls. And even if they call you and offer you a job you can always say "No."

That's a good point, I never thought of the identity theft aspect either.
