Local Traders ,is it a con ?

[afright]

Had a phone call yesterday from a chap saying he was from a company know as Local Traders saying,the they need a tiler in my post code area,after beating about the bush on how much work they could give me,I asked him ok how much do you want,he then told me its a payment of £120+VAT for the next six month but hurry otherwise he would move on to some one else,I told him to send me all the details by e-mail,but he still wanted payment over the phone which I told him that no way would I do that.
I just wonder if any one has had dealing's with this company,not that I need the work it just sounded to good to be true as with a lot of these company's they are only after a payment.

Sounds a bit dodgy to me.
In my experience, if it sounds to good to be true it usually is!

Had something similar a while ago, I said your'd better move on then....
