Shall I use Western Union?

I didn't get any REACT coffee jobs - not too bothered. I don't really like coffee :rotfl:

A bit of ‘Moral’ advice here please.

My brother has always gotten more MS jobs than me, even though I have been doing this for a few years it has always confused me how he could pick up more jobs in areas where once a jobs was chosen the others vanished and how for example I could only do 3 bookmakers and he could do 9 !, well yesterday whilst I was complaining about how quiet it all was he dropped a bit of a bomb shell !.

He told me that for some MS companies he has 3 accounts !, 1 is true and the other 2 under false names and made up addresses !, he has even opened 3 bank accounts so they are all separate !, he tells me that all the earnings are declared to HMRC so there is no fiddling in that direction, so he does not seem to be hiding anything or not paying tax etc but I can’t see the MS companies being happy !.

It’s nothing really to do with me as such but I am quite surprised by it, I also don’t know where he stands if someone finds out, I don’t know if HMRC would be interested because the income is being declared, but using false names and addresses could be another matter.

I think the HMRC might be very interested if he is declaring income under false names - if he is earning over a certain amount, he might be eligable for a higher tax band than he is currently in. Also, if any of the MS companies found out he would almost certainly be sacked.

I'm not surprised somebody's doing that. I did already think if a friend or family member registered then you could swap each others jobs. This is one step further. If the companies dont ask for your NI number then they dont know. Surprised he hasnt been found out by any of the companies. Or maybe he has and has kept it to himself?

Has he been opening bank accounts under a false name? Thats very dodgy and he could get into trouble with that.

Someone must be close that job - if we all chip in 50p each will you take it ?!

I'm very near this job but I have done it within the last 6 months.....it's always sitting there, so that wouldn't stop ESA putting up new jobs.

Spoke to Project Manager at ESA about allocation and there are no glitches, not all projects will be on self allocate.

Also, I was told the big contract they have for golden eggs, banks, travel and dead places are not being put up until after Easter..........:eek:
So there won't be that much on this next week or so, maybe a few licence jobs and stuff.

I cheated in an exam this morning - I was weirdly nervous. I was also making an effort to get questions wrong, in case I didn't get caught, because you have to fail!

I'm about to write them a kick-!!! report, because they were highly professional and handled it brilliantly. Hope yours goes as well.

Aww,. thanks. So when you were caught cheating were you asked to leave. I hope because of this it shouldn't be too long before i'm on my way to other jobs then. it's a good fee if I don't have to be there for two hours.

Well the posh make-up is gone out of my applications already! Are you supposed to click somewhere else to self allocated (ie not the apply button??)

D, this is the problem I had....there are no clear instructions where or how to self allocate. I spent an hour trying to figure it out last night, however, glamazon managed to SA and tried helping me but I still got nowhere.

ESA said I've been doing it right but someone else must have been applyiong at exactly same time.......I said what for the whole hour :rotfl:

Good afternoon
I think that I'm in danger of joining the 'sacked from burger job' brigade!
My timings are waaaay too slow for the company but I told the truth. What is the point in having a business mystery shopped and then disputing the findings?

On a good note, I got allocated my first Bare job today :j

I agree if he has all these accounts with the MS companies then he will certainly earn over the small earning fee for the year surely? or is he MS full time?

Also he is at risk of being identified as a MS if he is doing the same wave of jobs but under the different names.

Im not suprised at this at all. I guess there are some people willing to cheat their way. Like what was mentioned the other week about filling in false reports. There will always be some people taking advantage. I think that the MS companies should ask for a NI number - that way they could track the false identities but maybe this is far too much work for them.
