?!!!

I would hope that was not the outcome!

I'd prefer to think if the company liked you they would tell the agency 
that they have already received a CV from another agency and proceed 
with the first one? Although this makes the biggest CV spammers likely 
to claim the reward... I have no idea how that would work... perhaps you 
just disregard the CV spammers and go with the first agency to give you 
proper consultancy on that person?

Most agencies I have dealt with have asked the company if they have a CV 
from me, if not they supply it to them.
