If someone lists you as a reference without asking you first, do you still provide the info requested?

Protocol almost demands that a person should ask permission to give someone as a reference.

If I'm on good terms, sure. They were the best tenant/employee/volunteer ever.

They are almost pointless anyways. I never even call the people they put down when i look over the applications. They aren't going to put down someone who will say something bad anyway.

It's really rude not to ask. I'd suggest they ask someone else to be a referee.

Yes, but I call and check to be sure the request is not a scam!

You have every right to be honest !

Depends on who it is.

Nah
