    As soon as someone is in UK its very easy to jump ship and start contracting . There are some one man companies , who sponsor their spouse's work visa for some made up fake work of software testing and then as the dependent visa holder they can start contracting. I hope home office cracks down on these companies.

      Don't give them any information as it doesn't help you or any other contractor in the UK to be under cut.

      Also block their number on your mobile.
      Only just seen this but agreed. I have quite a long list of blocked numbers now. It is frustrating being called by someone that can barely speak English. Even when I cut them off they send a job description as they cannot call anymore.

        I have numerous calls from Indian companies who operate in the UK. There rate is normally very low and even if I am not in a contract I would NOT touch these guys with a barge pole.

            Anyone heard of Cubestech? They kind of sound like another Indian agency, but somehow seem to be slightly different. They want my CV, but I am doubting very much, website looks very amateurish

              They are based in Feltham according to Google.

              They only have one UK based recruitment member while one is based in India and the other 3, who are nameless, are based in different places in the US.

                Anyone dealt with Silver Link? I kept cutting the guy off and he kept calling from different 0208 numbers!

                  I think I swore at people from a company of as similar name in the past and told them to quit harassing me.

                  I now get phoned up by companies of a different name who I block.

                      I think there is a list posted in this thread about these type of companies
                      and yes they are in the list.
