    Agents, just fek orf

    Got this in my inbox after a phone call from an agent.
    Why the fek do they need references, contacts, e-mails, company names, passport etc for me to register.

    I've replied saying in order for me to register I shall need at least 3 years work from them, their cut will be no more than 1% and I will be charging them a couple of grand for the privilege of having me register.

    Rullion eh.....

    Find another job/agent - this one probably doesn't have one (or doesn't think he'll get the gig) and is fishing.

    As for the passport, tell him you'll give him a letter from the Director of your company telling him you are who you say you are...

      Just out of curiosity, if they had all that information, could you expect to meet someone claiming to be you on the street, asking for directions to the local social security office in a very russian or african accent?

        That's the concern, Weltchy..

          Good. In which case, if we meet someone on the street who goes by the name Hank and speaks in a dodgy russian or african accent, its obviously a case of identity fraud and we are well entitled to kick ten bells out of him!!

            What the agent really means

            2 people I can piss off by continually calling them up and asking them if they are looking for contractors.
