    I do this too. It's the modern version of stringing along the cold-calling conservatory companies to the point where you get a booking in the diary for them to come and visit then drop into the conversation that you live in a 5th floor one bedroom flat.

    Low rate but short term, needs must etc.

    He asked how I was finding the market, I said a fair few jobs advertised but most were fakes, the old "need two references before submitting trick"... that a few agencies were trying it on.

    Ended up by saying he'd sent the contract spec over.

    Funnily enough, no email.
