I have this also but i want to know who gave out my email to them. My MS email, I only use for MS and my facebook account is under another email.

Hi tigergold, I understand that some companies do targeted advertising. This means that the adverts you receive will be in line with your browsing habits. A lot of survey sites use this technology to target relevant audiences. Do you think this may be the case?

I have not had that friend request but I think what Vramesh said is probably true - all those cookies and applications on FB make for a spam heaven

Just another quick reminder about the June MS Challenge. Just a bit of fun, we say how much we think we're going to make this month and then see if we can reach target.

:rolleyes: coud be, but to technical for me to understand.The survey sites i am registered with are on my other email and I never get any other junk. The only people that have this email are MS companies............the mystery continues.

Not impressed this morning, I'm definately not going to get paid for my pizza job :mad: and also now I've been booted off doing the burger jobs because they need a broad range of customers to complete them !!! :shocked:
So this morning's breakfast job will be my last one.

And his helpfulness has really shown in his last 2 posts hasnt it :T

Wow, I struggle to believe what I'm seeing.

I have contributed so much to these threads in the past, as have so many others. I try to put my view accross, to try and make people realise that the people they might need the help from in the future, will be gone if the thread becomes too clogged up with crap (I'll speak frankly now) and it just gets ignored - which would be fine, but to then question how helpful someone is who was trying to put accross a balanced view, is just pointless and a little nasty.

There are MSing forums about which I don't frequent but only because this was where I started and I thought that if I began MSing with the help from people on this thread, I should return some of that help when I'm more experienced. You might find, and this is only a very general prediction, that the experienced MSers move over to these boards and newbies can sit an ask about ABAi clients all day.

I'll not say any more on this matter as I'm getting a nose bleed from the height of my horse but I just want people to realise that yes, anyone can say what they want but they ought to hear feedback from other users; it's a vital method of improving things (or put another way, stopping the downturn in quality!).

You will thank GAP for this in a few months - I was in the same position as you (although forced myself to block the jobs from showing on my page!) - you'll realise how bad for you they were; just read a weight watchers calorie counter for some reassuring reading!

Just check with them that you're still wanted for this breakfast job; it's not unlike them to let you do it but take it from you post-job.

This is a strange one...... Just had a friend request on Facebook - a place I dont mention MSing. From a company which rhymes with "Felix" saying they are a MS company and they will soon contact me with details of available work!

Not touching it with a barge pole until I know more about it.

I got this too - just ignored it!

I do wonder how they got my email address though.

has anyone else had an email from bare and thus been allocated some of the car calls? Looks quite complex and a lot of work so I might have to ask others that have done these for some help. I do only have 3 calls to make whereas the ones I initially applied for were either 5 or 7.

Me too, except just 2 calls to make. So happy to finally have a BARE job!

Thanks Timmne, I know they're bad, but with me not working I'm going to miss getting my dinner paid for!!
I've sent a message to them to see if I am still wanted but I don't know how quick they are - my last message took over a week to be answered so I might just have to go and do it anyway !!
