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.

Fraud/Scammer Alert
Hi good day everyone and to the managers of this website,I would like to report that a Ronald Pinn Alexander had almost scammed us.Almost...He sent me a private message offering me a job as a nanny for his kids,but since my kids are too young to be just left with other peoples care I immediately turned down his offer.He asked me if I could refer someone,so I immediately offered it to a close friend who is in search of a job since she is a single parent with three kids.Me and my friend had been wondering about why is his facebook account not updated and we are trying to find solid details about him because he asked my friend that she would need to pay an agency to process her application amounting to 450£.Then,I told her to ask for an i.d or any personal details about him like full name,address, contact number because it may be asked on the agency he is reffering my friend,he sent her an email address where she qould send her resumé and personal details.Since,my friend is only using free data which can't be used in searching in google I did the research...And good thing I found this webpage and found your notes about this reminders to help us know if that the agency isn't legit at all...I did a screenshot of the note above and send it to my friend nd she send it to this Ronald Pinn Alexander and he just logged out of facebook

Brian Philip Weber is Scammer
I got the same incident, He is hiring me as a gardener in UK and he told me that he will shoulder the expenses but i have to raise 750 pounds for the visa and traveling documents. He want me to send money and he also give me an email to contact for the process of my document firsttravel2016@gmail.com.

He also told me that he is a god fearing man. And he made me to believe in his word.

I did research in the internet and i found out that he has a lot of victim, And i confirmed that he is a scammer.

Thank god he save me from this evil.
