I guess it's all pukka. Someone just posted about phishing on this thread and it got me nervous. Didn't get much answering either from the links on that website just diversion to messaging machine. If it was a good company people would pick up nd the girl I spoke to didnt give a good...

This was the site I got telephone numbers from- didnt answer for most numbers then when they did gave me a different company's (solicitor's numnber). Strange! Also, the padlock in search bar has a red line through it!!! That doesn't look secure to me although, I am not totally sure about...

HMRC?

After bank details?

My friend who gave me the email was contacted by her on checkatrade. . So is this all a bit dodgy? Is giving your turnover and UTR number normal on an application? When I called them it all sounded dodgy- no one answering just gave the number of a solicitors who didnt know who crawco were!

You think it's HMRC or someone trying to steal money from my card? I sent email to friend to find out where he got this contact he passed on to me.

The UTR number was with my banking details, not debit card details but account number and sort code etc with my address. I assumed for bank transfers. Is this normal to send banking details and UTR number when applying for work with property managment company? I dont even have job yet! A...

£40 a fortnight is for two hrs and that's one visit. Go higher? It's quite a drive I got the number and email off a friend who quoted for window cleaning. They said they managed lots of properties. phishing- yes, why do they want my UTR number? i changed one of the numbers anyway before...

reliable yes, trustworthy yes. Easy to get on with yes. Tidy I am not sure and they may say limited skills/inexperienced I don't know. I don't agree with this but you never know what someone might say. And they all keep employing me so can't be too bad.

Two of them are just old people and I go round to their houses and do gardening or painting, softwashing fencing etc not commercial, but it's all I have. I havalready sent the application so will re do application and send it and also a list of references on a word document. Probably too late...

Ok so I racked my brain and thought of as normal as possible customers to give my references and now have three. Put their addresses and names and real phone numbers. Two of the three are house addresses, so not sure if the recruiter will respect this as much as more commercial reference. Oh...

Yeah that's what she said. I will send her my sorted reference list in an email and apologise it wasnt good in application I sent a few days ago. They have contracts with other flats.

Ok fair enough, but how about half the people I do stuff for being complete idiots. Do I really want these people saying stuff about me? One woman was so mad she thought Hitler killed himself when he finally found out the Jews had been gassed. Maybe i am worrying too much I will try and...

I really wasn't sure how much info they wanted or needed and was surprised there was such a question for just a gardening job. Surely common sense would dictate trying someone out first is the best way. I am not going for a bank job. Anyhow, for future applications I will ask some gardening...

I filled an application for gardening. It was only £40 a fortnight so was a bit blase with the references- I just put he name and phone number or just email address. With just first name for one of the three. Just ruhing really. Is it important to have name address and phone number? And...

yeah lol. A bit like getting rejected by an ugly woman. Man she was a pain in arse. How do you come across more professional to these idiots though? I think she just had a black and white flyer- this isn't enough when they haven't seen your work with someone else. Gotta join checkatrade or...

I think part of this is she knows I am not massively experienced and I am not a blagger, too honest. Of course I can do the job, it's a piece of cake painting and exterior walls I've worked with an experienced decorator. Just got to cover everything up really. But I said I've painted a few...

I asked for one third up front or every two or three days a payment. I don't have costs before the job it's just I want to get something in the bank in case I dont get paid. She told me we wont be doing this (asked husband I guess) because she said "no other decorators do this". She said...

Nah no agreement on scaffold charge. But said her list was appropriate for my job and that I wanted one third upfront if that was more convenient than payment every two or three days. If she was happy with these terms then I was happy to paint her house.

Well I will do the job. When talking face to face she seems more a of a paranoid primary school teacher than anything else. However there's a lot of time and money involved. She has sent me a list of things I need to do such as clean the walls and job tasks. I asked her if I could get paid...
