called me today too - it isnt neccesarily a con they do wht they say they do which is produce a document with tendor oppurtunities in it , however these are all available free if you look for them yourself. What wound me up is she said "the tendor information is supplied to us and then we pass it on to you" what rubbish!!

I normally when advertisers want to waste my time, say if you give me a free months trial i might try it
