Have any UK anons faked a job reference before? How did you do it? Should I ask family or friends to pretend to be a former employer? Should I make up a fake business that recently shut down? Will any jobs I apply to accept gmail or hotmail emails as job references?

I was thinking of making up a window cleaning company, a small company of 4 or 5 employees that recently shut down, will reference checkers be suspicious that such a company doesn't have an online presence and can I just claim that we recently shut down and closed down our website as an excuse?

Yes. What are they going to do? Chase up old employees of closed down businesses on social media?
You were regional sales manager for Toys R Us, congrats.

why are you 'making up' a co?
just use one that went provably titsup at approx the right period, maybe not one as obvious as >>62472272. Try not to use 2 or more bustcos as references - you'll start to look unlucky - and some Doctor Who(ever) as another personal reference, and setup a gmail (DrBlah@gmail.com) in case someone actually contacts this, which they won't. Unless HR are cunts, in which case, you better off out of it.
I dunno what you are applying for, but I'm not aware of many big cos still even asking for references, never mind checking the fucking things. But have a backstory ready just in case they ask.

I'm applying to entry level customer service/Admin Jobs, minimum wage salary for the UK ~£25,000. These types of Jobs still need references which is retarded.

I'm worried if I use a real company that shut down they'll still have an online presence, former employees who'll be contacted and they'll say that I never worked there. What I was thinking is to give the email of one of my brothers as a reference for the company I made up, and for the interview I'll train really well to answer questions related to the fake company I made up and the role that I supposedly did there.

I'd find a plausibly local call centre that went titsup or got taken over, rndm example:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cr5804d8l6po
figure out what the format of their co. emails would be - myoldboss@totallytitsupnow.co, you gold. No-one checks this shit ever, not if it's a company name email, and worst case scenario, it just bounces.

If you're putting a window cleaning company on your CV then the job you're applying for doesn't care about references at all

this shit prevented me getting a normal job out of uni
nobody waned me that i needed 5 faggots on call to vouch for me
i had to get a trade instead of jew daycare and while the money is better it does mean actual work

>~£25,000.
it's literally not worth getting out of bed for that but i know it's supposed to be a stepping stone
