This tactic from agents seems to be happening alot right now:

'I just need to refs before i can put you forward for an interview'

I think we should start naming and shaming the agencies involved to
see if the same names keep cropping up. so to start it off:

e-synergy solutions (fenchurch st , bank)

Green Box - Freelance Web Design and Development in London
