I cannot get over how convincing the agent I dealt with was. I had my doubts and she allayed them all boosted by a story of her own harrowing relationship experience as a result of which she lost her hair! I was in tears for her. Literal tears.
She has missed her vocation! Meryl Streep has nothing on her.
But all the profiles I was presented never materialised once I signed the contract. Certainly this could all be put down to bad luck. I wish it was because I'd prefer that scenario to the one where I had been expertly lied to or scammed. I have such trouble trusting anyone since. So disappointed and missing the few thousand euros too.
