agree it does sound innocent enough,but the vagueness of it all, makes me step away from any association with it. it may well be a bona-fide thing,but the guy does not seem to want to convince people.

Well he didn't decline to send me information when I said I was interested. If you asked i'm sure he'd be happy to forward some to you via email.

I recieved some information. Was just wondering if mine was the same as yours. Have you recieved an address for correspondence?

Hmm no I dont think I have a postal address, though I havent recieved my posted information yet, just information over the internet. I just got duty information but it doesnt have any contact details on it.

I got an address by pm.... Coston Lodge, Lancaster.

Thats it! Can't find any info regarding this address.. I like the sound of this ranger volunteering but I think I'm out because its far too shady for me. If its this hard to get some information to provide my own help to these people, imagine how hard it would be to get a referrence from them when you are applying for proper jobs!

By the way. Anyone can apply to do ranger volunteering for lancashire county council. Its fully legitimate and you would have a far better chance of getting full time work in this line. The only down side is that it requires more of your time to do it through LCC

A lecturer here at the uni seems to think the scheme is legitimate but an odd thing to do. I havent recieved my 'pack' yet which they said they were sending out, but when I do I will let you know if there is more information with it.

Keep us informed blazey.

Well I didn't recieve anything today as far as I am aware. The lads didnt tell me I had any letters or parcels or anything, and even if we did I cant open the front door lol because our door handles broken and I cant be bothered being the one who has to keep doing the DIY.

Will ask the lads later on just in case they forgot to tell me.

So lets sum up. A bloke joins Accyweb a couple of weeks ago, he takes part in no discussions apart from trying to get people's details to 'volunteer' to help him with his chores. Nobody on Accyweb knows this bloke, his organisation is part of the secret service and a young lady sends him her address. Internet security at it's best

LOL - but it looks as though she has a contingent of male bodyguards on the premises, so will be OK

The bodyguards might actually be working for the secret service

My male housemates might as well be bodyguards, ones a huge rugby player and another is a martial arts expert lol, and he was those scary things that u wave around really fast, not sure what theyre called though. The other is indeed a wimp.

Yeh I gave him my address, though currently my address is all over the address as I'm trying to find a tenant for my room so i can move out, and the address is on all the adverts.

I'm pretty sure that I will survive with giving someone my house address, i'm pretty sure that the electoral register has a huge majority of EVERYONES house addresses lol, I found my grandad on it quite simply enough just by typing in his name, its hardly difficult to get someones address anyway.
