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.

Hired us couple in london as Au pair/ nanny & me as Driver. Here is how he wrote us via email:

Subject: Re: HELLO APPLICANT

Hello....

Working with me here in London is not a Problem because the job is still open and it is not filled with applicant yet but if you would like to come and work for me, there is something you must know before we proceed on how to get the job offer...


You will have to contact my Travel Agency who will help you process the Visa and Working permit documents and before you contact the Agency i want you to know that I dont know the amount the agency might call the Documents but no matter the amount it might be i will promise i will be paying 60% of the fee while you pay for the rest because i have been disappointed three good times when i pay for the full processing of the documents of an employee who i did not see at all when they get to the United Kingdom so i dont which to do that anymore, if you are really interested in working for me you will have to pay 40% of your traveling documents so let me know as soon as possible..

Please let me know if you agree and comply to this informtion so that we can start from there...

Bye..

I receive a message from Dave Erah family I acceepted and hired me as a nanny of their kids. He told me that I contact this agency migrationexpertlimited@yahoo.co.uk for the processing of my working visa that I needed to process. Please help me verify and I hope that this person is telling me the truth that he is a god fearing person.He told me also that he will be the one to shoulder my plain ticket. Thank you very much. Please send my reply to my email teresita.gubaton@yahoo.com

we lost a lot of money
everybody,
the families who says that you have to contact a travel agency for visas are scammers. We know because we lost a lot of money. We've been scammed by 2 families from UK and a fake agency. You should first check if they are scammers on internet checking their email.
Any one who's asking for money to pay for visas and travel document procesing are scammers.
thanks a lot.
