where someone said:

They contacted me for big ongoing jobs. They wanted a free test of 500 (!!!) words, and only then would we talk about rates, t&c. As a rule, I do not do any tests, and if by exception I do one, then only if rates and t&c are agreed upon up front and ok. During several mails, impossible to get any details on what I wanted to know. Only talking about Christian life, help, understanding, christian love etc. The so-called "PM" were particularly blue-eyed and very Christian .... in their interest. In fact, they are looking for religious people working for nothing and filling the pockets of their "Christian" leader.
