Seriously, I am laughing. This is obviously a job interview scam, although you might not think so if you are very new to IT industry. In this country (United Kingdom and Ireland), you don&#8217;t need to provide any references up front for work before a face-to-face interview in this country and anyone that asks you to do so is taking you for a ride. References and sometimes disclosure checking, though, are usually required when you have been made a fully legal job offer from a reputable entity company. Don&#8217;t give <em>skimmers<\/em>, <em>clippers<\/em>, in-between cheap labour force so-called here-today gone-tomorrow consultancies or confidence tricksters any glimmer of a chance and naturally any money.<\/p>\n<p>BaLeeTeD<\/p>\n<p>+PP+<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#DontFallForThisOne This arrived is my Gmail inbox this afternoon.
