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.

FELICIA QUEENS HOTELS is a fake job scam!
All Hotel job offers to persons in countries such as India are fake. No real hotel is going to be able to get a visa for an unskilled worker in a faraway country to come to Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia or the United States! There are plenty of workers already in those countries for those jobs and you cannot get a visa to do unskilled labor.

Google Tel +447010052847.and right away you see its a scam!
No real company ever uses a telephone number that begins with +44 70xxxxxxxx. That is ALWAYS a scam, every time! Now ask yourself, would someone in a faraway country want to hire someone in India, who they didn't know and bring them all the way to their country and pay their airfare and trust them with their family, when they could just interview and hire someone in their own country. Make sense. Of course not! It is an obvious scam!

All house supervisor, house keeping, house cleaning, nanny jobs, private nurse, etc. jobs emailed from someone in Canada, United States, Australia and UK are scams. No stranger in another country is going to hire a stranger in another distant country who he can't see, and pay to fly them to their home and trust them with their family. It doesn't make sense. They could just hire someone in their own country who they know or could interview! Plus, they would not be able to get a visa for an unskilled worker when there are plenty of them already in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia or the United States!
