NotesBeware of emailed job offers for childcare and other similar positions in the UK. These are all frauds.

• Since November 2008, no visas are granted for household workers from outside Europe. Work visas are only granted for highly-skilled positions, most of which require university degrees.

• No legitimate employment agency in the UK requires you to pay them any money. All fees would be paid by the employer.

• No legitimate employment agency in the UK uses a free email address from Yahoo, Gmail, or similar services.

• No legitimate employment agency in the UK uses a telephone number that begins with +4470 (070). These are non-geographic numbers available to anyone in the world.

• No legitimate business requests payment via Western Union.

a certain Mrs.Ann Smith hired me as nanny.she said that she is working at the wellington hospital,at first she wants me to contribute 500pounds for my visa payment but now she wants me to pay only 300pounds.and the agency that she gave me is the Premier Travel Agency. I want to ask a request to please check the name of this person and the agency.I'm so confused when I read about your notes.
first,they want me to contribute 300pounds for my visa process
2nd, No legitimate employment agency in the UK uses a telephone number that begins with +4470 (070). These are non-geographic numbers available to anyone in the world.
3rd. they want me to send the money payment via western union.
Please answer me immediately.I really need your guidance and advice
your answer will be much appreciated.
