No one calls your employer but, when you get caught lying on your LinkedIn and get rejected for lying; that usually plays a role in not seeing said Provider.
Newbie Friendly does not mean "no screening" or that all references are accepted. Everyone runs their business differently and not all money is good money. Why not use your current reference with other Providers? Many will accept any reference, trust me...
Many girls don't screen, you'll find someone. Start somewhere and work your way up to the ones that will accept your references once you get rolling. You can't just jump in all willy nilly and expect that Provider not to screen you at all. Welcome back to The Hobby and Good Luck
