Rogue Agent

[Sockpuppet]

So an agent is tapping me up for a temp 10 days work - to fit in around current contract.

Only wierd thing is that he keeps using his personal e-mail (@aol.com) and he definatly has a @pimps-company mail address.

He claims that his work e-mail is broken - for 4 weeks now?

Anyone else had an agent go rogue on them?

He loves you.

Sounds like he's trying to set up on his own and is poaching his current employers clients, probably without telling either of them, or you.

Sounds extremely dodgy. I've had it when someones moved to a different agency and have tried to poach me to the new agency. Erm, no thanks.

D'oh!

Just forward one of his mails to his works address and cc someone else there. That should be good for a laugh. Conversely you could always think 'WTF, he's found me some paying work, shall I just take it?'

Take the work then send him a nice thankyou note to his work email cc'd to the MD

He doesn't even have a half arsed attempt at an e-mail address....not sure I feel his contracts may be the same.

I was contacted several times a few months ago by an agent who wouldn't tell me who they were working for or what company they were representing.

I heard a story from someone who had got all the way to job offer without being told this.

They even expected him to accept without that information, until he made it clear that he wasn't going to do so without knowing the name of the company.
