Amber,
NO, it is not you.
Unfortunately, this has become more common during the last year and a half or so due to the bad economy.
There was as a thread similar to this on ASPD last spring/summer. The summary of that thread was a guy gives a reference to Lady #1. Then Lady #1 calls Lady #2 to follow up on that reference. Lady #2 treats Lady #1 like crap, then calls Mr. Hobbyist and says "Why don’t you want to see me again?" or "Am I not good enough for you?" or "I will give you more and charge less then she does." or… etc., etc. I think you get the idea.
Essentially, Lady #2 puts Mr. Hobbyist on the spot and "forces" (i.e. the guilt trip) him to see her again.
Guess who was a "victim" of this?
Simply put, these "ladies" (and I use that word loosely because obviously they are not) do not want to give out references because they want the business for them selves.

Maybe they'll think twice before doing this again if they know they'll be put on blast here in public.
