    Just answer the damn question posed than waste web space

    Do you mean, "....rather than waste web space?

    Oh, Lord, the virtual grammar/spelling cops!

    Just answer the damn question posed than waste web space or, better still, log off.

    It's like Sunday school here sometimes.

    Good point.

    So when you logging off?

    It's just a bit of gentle ribbing. It's evident that the job is a complete scam. Why not chill out a bit eh?

    Yes, let's chill out and mock any anonymous poster who could have a disibility which is why their grammar is poor, shall we?

    Takes all sorts to get their kicks I guess.

    I have had a call offering me a job from the gardian ( I did apply for it).

    I received a call yesterday from a man telling me about the job and what it involves.

    All sounded brill, except the company, EXPOGLOBAL, is based in cyprus. I have looked at there website and it looks ok. But i had an email offering me the job but they needed full address, home number and passport number, before he writes and sends my contract.

    Is this right?

    Thanks

    Dee
    Is this a joke? You have been offered a job via email with NO interview?

    They want your FULL address, hone number, passport number?

    Why not mothers maiden name and date of birth to that and they would well on the way to stealing your ID

    Do you know their UK address?

    If you're applying for jobs sometimes being able to spell correctly is a prerequisite of the job.
    So discrimination against people with Dyslexia *IS* perfectly acceptable. Will have to note that one down.
    Wanted a job, now have one. :beer:

    Dee,

    What did the job involve - was it something like receiving money on their behalf and making payments for them?

    Also, did the email come from an email address with their domain or was it from a free email provider such as yahoo or gmail?

    You started a thread mocking people who 'mis-use' their fog lights. What's to say some of these people don't have disabilities or other issues? Depression or stress can cause issues with memory and concentration.

    What's your excuse for misspelling 'disability'?

    Aye, that's what it was.

    ;)
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.
