When I suggested to the one above that a PlusNet email address and a spam email where it doesn't even state what the job was or anything about the company was not professional they tell me I am not the kind of person they want o deal with and she was going to keep my emails and alert the police if I report her to PlusNet
The first said this when I suggested they actually read my CV andprofile on Totaljobs.
He said he ONLY contacted me as I was unemployed so we are rightto think they are preying on the unemployed for this - what ever it may be.
He said 'but if I'm honest your reply as now questioned my interest inyou but thank you for pointing this out early in my search'
He then points me to this link saying - The LTD group is anabbreviation of my website www.livingthedreamuk.com,this isn't spam
Its HIS website and they are a front for some one called
'
Independent Distributor for Forever Living Products (UK) Ltd'
Just bewareeveryone as they seem to have bad attitudes if challenged on anything!
I am really sick of this since I updated the CV and will take itup with Totaljobs in the morning.

I've not really had this, however I did update my CV ladt week, and happened to look again on my profile on total jobs, they had helpfully made my CV public, made up a radius in which I'd be willing to travel to and put on a min and max salary I'm looking for, all of which I'd never entered (and the minimum salary was painfully low).
In the end I had to make this private as it would be doing anyone any good being there with the false info0
