She asked for a partial, and then I notified her of an offer of rep. I didn’t hear from her, so I sent a follow-up on that email. My deadline was today, and I never heard from her.

I told her I was in the middle of revising when she requested the manuscript in Nov., so she asked to see the new draft once it was ready.

Full request one month later, from a different email address (Gmail) that 1) is not listed on the agency's website, 2) did not include my original query, and 3) signed with only the agency address, not a name.

I have a feeling she likes to read submissions for fun! With no intention of offering representation. She requested a full and I never heard back. Should have listened to what I read here. Not that it really hurts to try, and I didn't get my hopes up, but I do feel a bit icky that I sent my full ms to a person who seems less than professional.

Asking for one page reveals a twenty second commitment on an agent's part.
In twenty seconds, an agent cannot make an informed judgment.

Submitted to her years ago after enthusiastic result for a full. Over 18 months, nudged her three or for times, always received a promise to hear back soon, then totally ghosted. Shady? I can't say but rude AF!

I was a little hesitant with what others have said here and definitely not holding my breath for a response but figured worst case they just dont get back to me. Oh well.
