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.

got same message from perrycolejohn... I believe this is a scam . aside from perry, I just another email from helen nicolas.. Same tactics..300 pounds payment and they will shoulder the another half.. I believe the most of their targets were Filipinos.. sad but true .. so guys be cautious.. it's not bad idea if we just go to legal agencies right??.. or let's just go directly to POEA for safety precautions..
