Bare have jobs where you have to send 30 pounds via a certain money transfer company to an unknown contact. Anything to do with sending payments via this company screams scam to me. What do other people think?

thanks Matt, think I may have joined this company but they were called a different name MO I think, are they the same do you know? As when I try to join they say they already have my details and the system looks the same as MO.

I did some of these about 3 years ago when I first started with Bare and they were fine. Only problem I found was that the scenario amount included the transfer fee. ie I was paying something like £16 to send £14 which surely no one in their right mind would do? The staff always looked at me like I was a bit simple and I didn't feel comfortable with this scenario so I haven't done any since! The scenario may have changed since, but it's worth checking if this would bother you.

PS Can you remove the client name from your post?

It's proabably not really from BARE. I would steer well clear. Money transfers is just not a MS thing to do IMHO.

Does anyone else find it annoying that ABA-i only give you x amount of days to complete an assignment rather than a specified date? I wouldn't mind, but the jobs always seem to be uploaded at the beginning of the week meaning that you can't usually do them at weekends!

Is there anyway to get around this?

Personally RE is one of my favourites - they always have loads of work. The fees aren't the best but when I just want some lunch during my break from work or something, it's worth it for a free lunch

Good God, you must be insane! I think they're the worst out of the whole bunch closely followed by Gyp. GfK are definitely the best, then Grassroots, then Abai.
