    Interesting perspective. Quite likely.
    They look at my profile, find out more about what i've done, and then go look for cheaper alternatives -(after talking to me they know what i've done and what to look for).
    Or worse, some might steal content from my CV and pack it into their others' profiles (based on their 'detailed filtering conversation' with me)

      I don't even know why I am replying to this stupid sockie but to go with the flow......

      To the OP... You ARE the cheaper alternative. That's why rates appear to be dropping and you think there is a conspiracy. The only conspiracy is that companies are reducing their rates so they only become attractive to Bob's.. i.e. you. That is why you are seeing rates drop.

        So you're in on it too? How deep does it go?

            This doesn't make any sense. You mean with the higher rates, the companies weren't attractive to Bob?
            OR
            you really meant to say:
            "...companies are reducing their rates so they only remain attractive to Bob's... "

            .. i.e. you.....
            Geez. how did you guess?

              The fact is that the OP is probably on the intra-agency 'greylist'. As has been discussed elsewhere on this forum, for £100 I can assure the OP's name is taken off, as I have kept a back door open from a previous contract with the shell company.

                    Oh yes - and if you want taking off the other blacklists, you only need to pay me £95.
