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.

we rcvd an e-mail from the HR administrator of athenaeum hotel located in 116 piccadilly, mayfair, london W1J7BJ Unitd Kingdom, employing my daughter as hotel staff. their contact number is +447024029962. but when i checked it, i found out that it was an office called " cgtechonologyworld". their offer was overwhelming, as the hotel will be the one to pay for the ticket, and all travel documents and will be leaving very soon, Aug 21, 2012? kindly inform me of the veracity or truth to this employment. thank you
