They wanted me to 'form a working relationship' with them but declined to tell me who was funding the company, how it would sustain itself and why they were using fake reviews. And then they deleted the FB post where I brought this up. But I'd already screengrabbed it.

Ugh. No thanks. My neighbour invited me round for a glass of wine. I’ve spent the 18 months since actively avoiding her.
