Milestone Software

[TheVoice]

Anybody know anything about this company?

Interesting gig advertised from them however the email received, apart from being typed by someone who failed ESL (English Second Language) course 3 times over, was worrying:

Im trying your phone but you are not picking my call .After selection u will be on payroll of Milestone software solutions so do u have ur limited company and what type of visa u have with u? are u ready with 1500 GBP after all confirmations i can send ur cv to my client.
Plz do needfully.

1: I am a contractor, of course I'm Limited!
2: Visa...This is an English gig in England
3: £1500?! Haha yeah right.

I've just replied to them saying yes I'll charge them 1500 quid for replying to their emails if they want & Visas are irrelevant!

Sounds dodgy to me...

I think they want £1500 and your Visa Credit Card details. . I'm sure the accounting thing they are referring to is an off-shore accounting thingy.

Reckon I should just write up a mock (but correct) invoice & see if they pay up

Yup, thats them. I'm in London in a few days, so I may well pay a visit to their office (or the one they claim is theirs!) to see just what is there!

All strikes me as dodgy - They're on Jobserve folks so beware!

I shouldn't waste either the time or taxi fare visiting them. I'ts probably just a P.O. box or some such arrangement with a shop owner.
