    1. Thank you for posting this! I just had this happen to me and when I searched gatsa forms this site came up and what Anonymous posted from his email was almost word for word. I am so glad I found this before I sent any information. For me, it was with the company Van Oord, UK ltd. I spoke with the company and found out I was the 5th person this had happened to. Don't ever wonder if by replying and talking about what happened that anyone will see it or will be helped by it. I am proof.
