Its amazing how many agents try this old chestnut about references. When you get the agent down the pub (on them of course) they say its amazing how many naiive contractors actually give them the references, and say if they're stupid enough to do it they will keep trying it on.
I feel you do have to be falsely nice back to them, so I simply send them a reference of a job I did in Australia or somewhere similar which is no use to them, or send them a reference I have blanked out the contact details on.
Suffice to say you dont usually here back from them, winkers
