    I meant ABA-i, not AQA-i (which doesn't seem to even be a company). Sorry about the typo. Was sick yesterday and blame the terrible headaches. I think I might just contact them directly then, if other people have been having issues too.

    LOL I thought you were trying to sign up to AQA the exam people

    I received an email from ESA stating that I need to submit one of the email jobs today but in the brief it says to wait 2 weeks and a day before submitting to allow any extra responses to come in.

    Should I just wait or will it disappear from my inbox? This is the first lot of work i've done for them so not really sure how they work. I did email them but didn't get a response.

    Done one online ESA job and ditched the rest of them. Wonder what Parliament would think of a Government regulator employing zero hours workers, on a below minimum wage rate, to look into something it has spent the last decade taking absolutely no regulatory action over.

    You are self employed, you have no minimum wage, you work as and when you want, all perfectly above board and legal.

    For the effort involved the fee isn't that bad, the visits are paying more than the last round of fruity phones. Mind I only took visits and phone calls.

    I do wonder how you get any jobs done, given the dreadful lack of reading skills you demonstrate here. Where did I say anything about legalities? Still think Parliament would be interested in a Government regulator employing zero hours workers, on a below minimum wage rate.

    BTW - how exactly do you know anything about the 'effort involved' in jobs you go on to admit you haven't been anywhere near?

    I called ESA on 01727 730217 and explained that I had just one email assignment left which was due to be submitted but was not completed yet. They checked with me whether I had any response from the company and extended due date until Friday this week.

    I cannot sign up with ABA-i either. I tried to sign up from PC, Laptop and smartphone using Chrome, MF and Internet Explorer and made sure that Javascript was enabled but nothing worked.

    There is AQ company after all ;)
    the web site is http://www.ilovemysteryshopping.com/

    I have not done any work for them but read here somewhere about them.

    You are self employed, you chose that option, with being self employed you don't get minimum wage, it just doesn't exist, if the work doesn't pay what you want move on and find more work. This government wouldn't give a flying one about rates...

    For your information I read the brief for those and chose not to do them, you had the option to read the brief and had the same choice.
