I have had a couple of agents use that ploy this time round.
I can't remember the first one but the one that did it to me yesterday was Celcius (UK) Ltd. Anyone heard of them? It ended with the guy saying he would have to end the conversation as I wasnt prepared to give any. He then had the cheek to send me an invite to his network on LinkedIn......did he honestly expect me to accept?!

I have to say that I am surprised to see SQ in there too. I have never done a gig through them, but it was one of theirs that talked me through all the dirty tricks that other agents could play.Originally posted by Epiphone View PostMust be desperate, never had that from ReThink before.

Some bint at Progressive tried it with me last week, in fact it was for a client about this time last year, she even had my ex-boss's name but came out with a line about, "Are there any other managers in the company who we shouldn't contact so as not to tread on toes?"
Yeah, right, THAT old fcuking chestnut!!
Had another one yesterday morning, initially well planned as I didn't hear any of the usual call-centre noise in the background (times must be tough!), but soon laughed my balls off in her ears when I deliberately quoted my last client in initials "The CA Group" and, dohhh, she THEN actually flat out asked me what 'CA' stood for!!
Christ I must have heard every single trick in the book. I should write an article about the scams these losers try out.Comment
