[QUOTE=MoonTooth;2790682]Just ask if they can verify you by an alternative method, such as your job. Try explaining that you don't have any references and see what they say. Maybe they say no, but maybe they will work with you. Gabby29 was my first experience in the hobby and she saw me with no references, but she did verify my employment thoroughly. Just have to be flexible with the providers, they have more on the line than you do.
Best,
