Advice on contract work

[mylesy]

Iv been approached by a company asking me to cover my area, landlord checks, breakdowns general maintainance. But then told me there was a setting up fee of £1750. Has anyone ever done this kind of thing or even heard of it? If it's genuine it sounds good. Cheers guys

If it looks/sounds too good to be true it usually is.
A few have been stung by this before. There is some threads on here about it.
Tread very carefully.
