Make sure you work the first clean to be introduced to the customers. Don't just pay for a list of details.

Make sure you know how much is collected so you know the exact price of the work

Be clear in your mind why they are selling. Who is going to sell good jobs? Theres always a catch IMO

DONT DO WHAT I DONE!

Hand over £3500 in cash, in return for a few lists of names and addresses, in areas your not familiar with, an hours drive away  ;)


I was lucky in that it was all genuine, and worked out good, but looking back I was an idiot.
