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.

Thomas Joe is fake!
This is with regard to the message posted by
Baby girl. I dont think that the email sent by Mr.Thomas Joe is true. Its the same email message sent to me. I happened to talked to him via messenger. He also said the same thing that he will pay for the 500 pounds and i'll be paying the other half. I told him that i cannot pay the agency because i dont have money, i asked him to pay the whole amount first then just deduct to my salary if incase, and he immediately said BYE...:) Dont be confused. Its a scam.

Beware of nanny job
Beware of Felicia Tape in need of nanny and her fraud agents, Dickson Tony, john morris, Abiodun folashade. She claims to be a doctor from uk london. She is a typical Nigerian fraud star and a scammer. Don't accept any Nanny job offer from anybody claiming to reside in london. These are all scams..
