Buck,
There is a company (in Califonia maybe) that will act as a prospective
employer and check your references. They then report to you what was
said. Seems like the fee was in the $50 to $100 range. Do I remember
their name? Of course not. But maybe this will jog someone else's
memory. In the meantime I will try to remember where I read about it.
By the way, you didn't finish the story. Did you ever get paid?
Good luck,
Julia Land
