    Tried to accept 2 DIY store visits with G**. Visited both last, in Feb- would only let me take one. Have they changed their rules? I tried completing them on different days, but it still won't let me visit one. Seems odd, as I say it's been months since I last visited and it's still up there needing to be visited. I'd be willing, should I email them?

    Funny that, I had the same issue yesterday when trying to book 2 of their small supermarkets even though I am not in conflict with their rules. Not had this specific problem before.

    Might be worth an e-mail as you suggest although I am not short of their jobs this month to be honest.

    Not found a way yet, it crashes on me if I view North and South Scotland together, a bit of a pain if you live in the middle bit :-) Tt has to be one of the worst job boards around though.

    Its really frustrating and their PDF briefs don't download properly either.

    Yes, sometimes even with Chrome it can be extremely slow too but at least it works.

    I am still waiting to hear if anyone has done MS for 4Service Group, they are very aggressive when calling and emailing me - I have done a company check - based in the Ukraine but using a masking ip in Germany, they look very dodgy indeed. Please can someone help?

    I've never heard of them, sorry. To be honest though, if you find them aggressive and/or pushy, I would recommend you don't work with them. Can you imagine what they would be like if something went wrong, if they're already like that over the phone?

    If they mask their IP do you seriously want to give them your bank and or Paypal details, which you'd have to do to be paid?

    Now if I could just get the SASSIE system to accept the code I got when I completed the test. :eek:

    Esa must be getting desperate, getting daily phone calls from them about work. Perhaps if they increased the fees they might shift the work. I see that 'death' is back on the board, cant wait for the broken crisps jobs to reappear.


    I seem to have done a shed load of these social media/emails/twitter jobs. Cr*P fees but they are easy and whole pile of them is better than the faff I had at the weekend on a Company A job..

    I nearly fainted last night when RA agreed to my massively inflated fee for one of their local shop jobs. First time they've ever agreed to anything other than a paltry increase!

    Of course, the snag is their poorly designed form- when data-entering.... must be 100 character comment for each bit:
    I was not offered a bag, what can I say- I was not offered one. What more can I say about not being offered a bag? No really, I was not offered one.

    I was not offered any additional items at the checkout. No additional items were offered to me. And on, and on, and Ariston!!!! O_O

    Hopefully my inane comments mean they will get the message.
