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.

Hotel Staff in Ireland Job opening from http://buckinghamshire-jobs.com/chat/connectb7.html
ANOTHER SCAM!!!

Dear Mary Anne,

A well established organization, has just presented to us the job details of the vacant position they have. We trust that your knowledge, skills and experience will perfectly match the requirements of the employer and you will be among the valuable assets of the company.

Should you accept to take the opportunity of a new life and work in Europe you may review the job details here:

Rest days: 2 per week
Accommodation: separate room, free of charge
Holiday Allowance: 20 days (paid)
Bonuses: medical/dental insurance ; food provided during working hours; plane ticket and visa fees paid by the employer.


We would gladly explain the entire procedure. It consists of the following steps:
1/ Preparation of application documents and sending them to your employer in Europe this is the only expense you may incur in the whole process. Deadline for finalizing this step is 4 business days from now.
2/ the employer receives your documents and processes them towards work permit and work contract - work permit fees are to be covered by the employer
3/ after work permit issue the work permit is sent to you directly along with your work contract and other work visa support documents
4/ you arrive in Ireland where a representative of the employer and your job abroad team meet you at the airport. You will be given orientation meeting and taken to your accommodation in your case family accommodation is provided and covered by your potential employer.
5/ you start your new job in the European Union

We would like to also clarify that your family can legally join you at the time of your departure for Ireland or later at their convenience.

You are at step 1/ at present, work visa comes at step 3/ /we get a lot of questions from applicants when they will get their work visa - it is when the application develops till step 3/ /

Required items to prepare in this regard are:

1. Europass CV
2. Work Permission Application Form
3. Job Application Letter
4. European Union workforce number or regional workforce number


Let us also inform you of your deadlines for the preparation and submission of your requirements. The deadline is 10th November 2011.

You stay excellent chances to get this job in case you prepare and submit all requirements under points 1,2,3,4 within the deadline and this chance is reduced to 0% in case you do not prepare and submit.

Clarification:

European Union workforce number or regional workforce number would help the employer in the process - as you would already figure in the lists, a certain employer will be able to just go in the workforce office, point your number and state that he/she would like to hire exactly you. This makes the procedure very simple and completely legal, because officially only the workforce office service itself is the institution able to realize your job application. This will also help the employer to present proofs to the authorities why he/she prefers to hire a foreign employee. We also hope that after the above explanation, you will realize the importance of this identification.
Obtaining this number is mandatory requirement.

European Union work office number in the European Union work office
THIS IS A SCAM!!!! BEWARE

Dear John,

Thank you for your e-mail.

Did you understand that you will not send the payment to us? It should be made to the documents preparation company, so that they can obtain your EU work office number and prepare ALL documents.

The law here in UK does not allow recruitment companies to charge fees from applicants.

You do not have financial duties to our company as we do not charge placement fees. It is important to be stated that our cooperative work is based on dual interest for the both parts. You are interested to start a legal job in the European Union and we, on the other hand, are interested in getting our remuneration from your job transfer there

Unfortunately, there is no option for a free registration in the EU work office.

We recommend Document translations agency because they offer the lowest fee for this service. While they charge 48 USD only, other companies charge 52, 63 and even 75 USD.

In fact, this will be the only fee paid by you during this process.
The only fee covered by you in this process is for documents preparation payable to professional document preparation agent. ALL OTHER EXPENSES AS PLANE TICKET AND VISA FEES ARE COVERED BY YOUR POTENTIAL EMPLOYER.

Salary deductions are not a practice. We are not your employer and we cannot deduct from you first salary in any way.

As an applicant, you also have responsibilities in this process. As a matter of fact, this is your ONE and ONLY responsibility. You cannot expect to just receive Work Permission, work contract, work visa and plane ticket without taking even single action or responsibility. The employer is sponsoring you in terms of Work Permission, work contract, work visa and plane ticket, but your responsibility is to obtain the initially required documents and submit them.

LET US REMIND YOU - the application set contains these items:
1/ European Union work office number in the European Union work office
2/ Work Permission Application Form
3/ Job Application Letter
4/ EUROPASS CV

We once again would like to state that we have NOT received such set from you.

We would like to inform you that we are able to provide an employer for you ONLY in case you take immediate actions in obtaining the European Union work office number in European Union work office. Let us point out once again that the European Union work office number in European Union work office is mandatory so that you become legitimate on the labor market. If you do not obtain this number it is useless to prepare the other 3 documents.

The European Union work office number is obligatory. We cannot process your job application further without this number. This procedure can be completed only through specialized company based here in Europe.

Are you sure you can manage by yourself with all these documents? Are you familiar with these standards? Are you capable, as a non-European citizen, to provide a European Union work office number from a European Union work office by yourself? Many people believed so and they finally failed.

This is why we suggest you to use the same company for obtaining a European Union work office number and preparation of your application package.


Their contacts are:
E-MAIL: infodoxeu@gmail.com
YAHOO-MESSENGER: INFODOX


If you arrange their services, they can obtain for you European Union work office number or regional (countries office) and prepare the other 3 documents as well with excellent quality according all European Employment application standards in just 1 day.

Try to complete your responsibility in this process – no one else will!

Your application has been so successful so far. We are sure you have friends and relatives and you may borrow money from them.

You may reply this letter or contact our Recruitment Consultants online at their yahoo messenger ID: WORK.ASSISTANT or through Real-time online chat: http://buckinghamshire-jobs.com/chat/connectb7.html

Our office hours are Monday to Friday from 06.30 am to 03.00 pm GMT (London time). You are welcome to contact us.

Yours sincerely,

Nora Jones
