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.

I called him out and found out it's all a scam!
I am a concerned citizen and I would like to let everyone know it is not real. Do not get carried away with his make-believe emails. Of course he would make stories and when he thinks you believe him and willing to do everything to get a job, he would ask for money. Remember: • No legitimate employment agency in the UK requires you to pay them any money. All fees would be paid by the employer.
• No legitimate business requests payment via Western Union.
Another thing, if he is sponsoring you to work there, you don't need to transfer money only to prove that you are eligible to live and work in the UK! It should all be at your sponsor's expense!
Another thing, the embassy does not advise paying a flight ticket while you do not have your visa! So beware! How could he pay for your flight ticket if he hasn't booked it yet? Impossible!
That's all... if you want to find a nice and trusted job, you better go to agencies you trust or have them checked first with POEA.
