There is a safety reason why nobody should be doing this. If you look around the site there are many dubious people looking for contact details. Some probably nice but nieve as anyone can see them... Others I report for safety as you don't know who you are dealling with and its dangerous to meet up or give out details... Several kids have complained or nasty messages sent to there emails.

because it has to be somebody who knows you personally, most gp's run large mixed surgeries and often cant put names to faces any more. its just to tighten up identity theft and money laundering.

Yes, unfortunately I used to be one, during one summer when I was a student, long time ago!  They are just people, and are just doing their job!  There is always a boss behind those telemarketers you know!  It sucks, I know, especially because they are trying to sell you things that you do not want!  Hey, that gives me an idea, what if telemarketers tried to sell you the stuff you actually wanted, and at a discount price!  If they did that instead, man, I would not be able to wait for them to call me!  But as it stands now, it is unfortunate!  Hold on, my phone is ringing...Hello?...Oh, no, not the telemarketers again!  Click!  Ok, where was I...oh, how unfortunate, for us, and them!

Probably something to do with religion, christ etc. There are an awful lot of religious wackos out there.

There's loads of e-mails which ask you to forward to X number of other people - every one of them is a scam and should be deleted.\n\nThere's different reasons for them but usually it's to harvest e-mail addresses which will then be spammed.

well the recruitment process must be delt with accuratly, as they need experienced, wise, and trustworthy staff, they also need to ensure they employ ethnic minoroties, i do not see alot in banks in the uk, and that is strange. and with the advertising, it is important as to attract customers, because nowadays, banks dont only offer current accounts, savings accounts and loans, NO they also offer mortages, insurance, and other services.\nso their advertisments are really important as to deliver the correct information to attract more customers.

good question. I know that most were references to someone's father or trade as in smith was a metal worker or jackson was the son of jack, they came about when there were too many people for just a first name to identify someone without confusing them with someone else.

No, there are tons of them.\nLiterally.

I think there are definitely some out there who are frauds. But quite honestly I think the majority are genuine. However it is like a lot of things in that there a different levels of ability. Plus your ability does not stay static. It changes as you grow and is affected by life's ups and downs. People like Allison Dubois, John Edwards and Gordon Smith are about as genuine as mediums get. If you can get an appointment with one of these I think they would blow you away. However they are so popular that they are about 2 years back dated. Also Gordon Smith lives in Scotland. If I were to undertake a 'reading' with someone I would go by my gut feeling. Do not see someone who feels wrong to you. But seriously I would not suggest you make it something that you come to rely on. This will only encourage the frauds out there. Any genuine medium or psychic will know that they have to prove themselves to you so they will tell you not to give them any information. Keep this in mind if you think the psychic you are seeing is pumping you for answers. Also an ethical medium/psychic will offer you a refund if within the first five minutes they do not give you any information that rings true.\n\nOne more thing I would say is to remember that mediums and psychics cannot help the skills they have. They just have them. Their gifts complicate their lives and often create fear and hatred in others. They, like you, are just doing the best with what they have and endeavouring to lead useful and productive lives.

There are 2 main types of headhunters.  There are those that will throw your resume to 100 different companies and if one of them is interested, great.  The other type is the one that tries their best to find a good match and limits the number of times your resume goes out.\n\nI don't know if they actually have quotas for number of candidates, but it doesn't really make that much sense if they do.  Instead, they probably have their compensation based on the money they bring into the firm, just like most salespeople.  So, if they interview you, they probably think you have a decent shot at being placed, if they're the 2nd type of headhunter.  Otherwise, they'd be busy searching for better candidates.

I have the phone number of their branch office if you need it. There has been trouble lately. Some of them have an axe to grind.
