So I have been keeping up with this thread and the one on "Carrie Coyle" for the following reasons
1) Carrie Coyle first contact me via email and asked me to sign up with Red Quanta because they had some home delivery food shops in my area. I live in a HUGE metropolitan area and so I questioned "my area".
2) I signed up with them giving them vague information and NO payment information.
3) I was told to give them a "new" gmail address and I would be assigned some shops. I provided on of my existing gmail addresses that I use specifically for ms. I was then added to a group, that I know nothing about.
4) I made sure I gave Red Quanta and Carrie my correct zip code, with the instructions that I would only do delivery shops, thinking that would help keep it close to home and not knowing anything about the clients.
5) The next thing I know, I was scheduled for 4 shops on Red Quanta, 3 deliveries, and 1 pickup. I informed Carrrie that I would not do a pickup as I was to busy. Her response was werent there any pickups I could do? My response, no and I only wanted deliveries within a 5 mile radious of my home (I like my food hot). Carrie responded to me saying that there had to be restaurants within 5 miles of where I live that I could do a pickup. My response was that was not the point. I had stated from the beginning that I would only do delivery and that if it was going to be a problem, to just cancel all the shops. I was becoming more leery after continuing to read the forum about her/company.
6) The next thing I knew, I had 4 deliveries assigned to me.
7) I sorted through the requirements and decided that with all the screen shots and other things required, along with a confusing report, this was not going to fit in easily with my immediate schedule.
8) I continued to read about Carrie/Red Quanta, especially the note by Doug the PI. The was the straw that broke the camels back. I even read Carrie's long post about her problems. WHY, the forum is not the place for that. My comment towards that is if it is true, I am sorry. But there are too many things worng with that post, and other posts have identified them so I don't need to.
9) Alas, planned to cancel the shops, something I hate to do because I pride myself on being a dependable shopper. But when I went to Red Quanta to cancel them they were gone! So I will continue to my next step which is to block Carrie. As an independent contractor, this is my choice and business (headache) I feel I can do without.
