I have been sent a contract to sign by a company preparing to do some (representative) work for me. The covering letter was "signed" [The Company Name] in someone's handwriting. I thought this was a bit odd, but not particularly important - until I looked at the contract...
You've guessed it, the contract stated "signed by [individual's name] for and on behalf of [company's name]" then the company's name was written in someone's handwriting where the signature should be (followed by "Director" in print).
The contract is fairly straightforward and I can't see why or how they would pull a fast one, but I don't feel very comfortable adding my signature. If the director hasn't signed his own name where it states "signed by" will the contract be valid?
Any idea what's going on?

Re: Company signature
Play dumb. Call them and say that nobody has actually signed it and you'll be returning it for an actual person's signature

I'm a natural
I'm tempted to send it back "signed" The Client in my best handwriting.
