Some people may not be able to work out if it's not a real job.

No doubt, that doesn't mean we should spend several million pounds checking every advert, just to prevent someone wasting their time following a dead lead. It is not solving the problem of some people being stupid and or gullible, they will be tricked by something else, the Government can not stop those people falling victim.

those so called several millions would be matched with the millions they should charge people.

It does mean there is no quality control & system is wide open to abuse.

I uploaded a CV and my skills aimed at jobs in admin & customer service - the system has matched jobs for a caretaker to carry out general maintenance in a housing complex and it's grounds?

There seems to be problems with the system, but, are you unable to be a caretaker? Does the job have essential requirements that you don't meet?

She never said it was mandatory, not did she say I had to sign up for an account or anything at all.

i bet that will change in time. especially when they see a large percentage of people arent bothering to sign up to it.
