    She emailed me also. I responded and received another email from her that she has included me in her list. I have not given her my surname or bank account details so I cant see the harm in it, all she wanted to know was my age and location. Where did she get our email addresses from I wonder?

    I initially registered with BBP back in September after they asked for MS on this site - Eilleen, based in Ireland, is the scheduler for our area and she is really friendly. I've not done any work for them as yet as nothing has been suitable (or I've been too old for some jobs!)

    I've also had an email through on Monday from Retail Active, asking if I want to register with them. I had started to apply a few weeks ago, but never got around to submitting the form, so I don't know where they've got my details from, but I'll get in touch anyway.
    Is anyone else with them, & if so, what are they like?
    ;)

    I just thought it was strange that I had started to apply to them recently & then I get this email - but I definitely didn't submit the form!

    Maybe someone from another MS company has run off with everyones details and is flogging them to other companies!:D
    ;)
  • I have had an email from retail active and from a company called secret shoppers :confused: I don't think that I have applied for any of these.

    I think I did try and sign up with BBP a while back but never heard from them. Nice to hear all the good reports so thanks everyone. Feels strange getting the email like that though...

    I also signed up with RA ages and ages ago but never heard anything from them. Mind they are just one of the many I've never heard aything from, which is a shame because some of those companies seem to get good reports on here.

    and LOL to HP.. you're probably right in the Eileen is an astute lady. She still had the sense to email me hehehehe
  • Just done my tax return on line and on the calculation section my personal allowance is different to the one I have on my payslip form my main job. Is that right or have they not altered the personal allowance since they gave us a little extra in everyone wages since sept.

    I got a email too. I guess she is looking for Scots just now. I didn't apply to her either, but I was sure I reconised the email address from the alerts thread.


    I didnt get this email and I feel left out .....! Maybe they dont need folk up in the Highlands

    I'm procrastinating this morning - got roped into 2 Gap Convinience Store jobs in the far north after avoiding Gap for 7 weeks, the weather is crap and its a 280 mile round trip .......

    But saying that, they gave me 5 assignments this month all at excellent premiun when they phoned ...
  • Mike I hope you don't have to pay for your own petrol! Is a 280 mile round trip really worth it?

    The premiums cover the fuel, just! - oh trust me that is nothing in mileage terms compared to what I used to do per day ....
