    and you have no idea who the company is? What about the email address they sent an email to you on?

    I dont have the email address, it came via gum tree.

  • The Roombookers website is not impressive, and was registered only a year ago.

    I would not get my hopes up for this one.

    No geographic number of any description, no address, not even an e-mail (just a form to fill in and "submit"). I suspect the interview is in a serviced office because they do not have any office of their own at all. Probably a one man band masquerading as a proper company.

    Looks dodgy to me... I googled the address and it said it was a "virtual office" as opposed to a serviced office. For those who don't want to pay for office space but have a prestigious address. The Facebook page is bare. Proceed with caution. There is one name and number on the Facebook page - look at the comments where it talks about "Baljinder on 07908561703"

    Can you get hold of the email address. I would like to explore this further.

    Have you tracked the ip from the email?

    If you have the email from the company email address rather than a referer such as gumtree this could be easy to loacte the origin of the email and where its come from (which country)
    All the big powers they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right, and outing the liars.

    I have not tracked it.
