    if you read the email, it said, "if interested please reply to this email". It did not include the link to their site in the original email which made it look as though it wasn't trying to trick you.

    Agencies offering work are subject to a number of regulations – they:can’t charge you a fee

    can’t make you use fee-paying services (eg CV writing) as a requirement for finding you work
