    dodgy agencies/agents

    Hi all
    Thought to start a thread on the dodgy agencies/agents that you encountered during your contracting careers and to try and make a list to everyone who we should doubt and even stay away from.
    Try to attach story or example to the names ,this can show on a consistent pattern of an agency and help us all in the future.

            Nice that you've come back after 17 months and 'liked' the answers to the 'offer to go perm' thread. Are they still waiting for an answer?

                  Far be it for me to call you a cretin. even though you are obviously a cretin.

                  I had a bad experience once with an agent called Ivor. Ivor Bollockoff


                  Of course, I knew he wasn't real. It was a nom de plume, or a nom de guerre


                  who fckng cares ??


                  same agency , a few years later, I got a job via T.Scrumptious

                  who cares ??


                  are you really suggesting a register of transients or made-up names ?
