Thank you Cassie,
Its scary how convincing they are !!! They even left it a few days before ringing me and I am now guessing that this was intentional so that I would be thinking they are very busy and not desperate to take peoples money 
She even took the first part of my postcode and then appeared to be tapping on a keyboard, 'to see if there was any availability in my area' after a long chat she said 'well the good news is that we have a part time vacancy in your area' !
Thanks again to everyone who has taken the time to set up this site and also those who post messages of warnings and words of wisdom :-)
That sounds just like the scam agency that nearly got me, she did the same with checking the area and lots of other checks, even taking a record of my interests and knowledge, where I had travelled to what kind of food I liked, etc. It was all so plausable and convincing until two days later she got back to me with a potential client for the next week, who wanted to see me for a social dinner date on the friday, followed by a social lunch on the saturday and if those went well personal time on saturday night - all without her, let alone the client having seen a pic of me! He was an italian business man in his mid 30s' and I would have earned ?2300 in two days, subject to them receiving my ?350 by Thursday. When I hesitated she told me that he often payed for the girl to saty with him on Sunday too and took her shopping.
By this time my head was rattling from side to side with alarm bells going and a neon sign flashing : Too good to be true!!!!
I have to admit to
still being slightly tempted, but made one last attempt to find out something more about this company before heading to the bank - and found Saafe!
So I too was a Saafe savee and know exactly how you feel Laura and I try to contribute to the site as a way of thanks, as well as it being fun to share stuff on here.
