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.

» Can I visit the United Kingdom without a visa?

Hi, I am Suresh from Bangalore. 2 days back I got a job offer letter from Scanscourt Hotel, London for the post of Retail sales Assistant. They have done single telephonic interview and offered me a job. He is MR. Franklin Ramson( HR). And they have informed me I have to bear visa charges and informed me to contact Mrs adya kumar from delhi for visa processing. Clearly they have mentioned I have to bear visa charges.Guys Please help me out about this job offer. Bcoz I doubt no company offer job on single telephonic interview

Macdonald Hotel and Resorts London Road is a fake job offer scam!
All Hotel job offers are fake. No real hotel is going to be able to get a visa for an unskilled worker in India to come to Canada or the UK! There are plenty of workers already in those country for those jobs.

Please read carefully because this applies to every job offer you receive! 99% of email job offers are scams! No real company hires you without an in person, face to face interview. An email, online or telephone interview is always a scam! No real company ever charges any money for a job even for a visa or work permit! If they want you to pay and say they will refund the costs, you will just send money to a fake embassy official, travel agency or lawyer who is a really a scammer! Read: www.scam-job-emails.tk No real company, government or visa agent ever uses a free or public email address (yahoo.com gmail.com hotmail.com, aol.com, etc.) Email addresses like diplomats.com [WARNING: SCAM EMAIL], counsellor.com, consultant.com, lawyer.com etc. are also free email addresses. Read: www.scam-email-addresses.tk No real visa agent ever requests money via wire to a bank account or by Western Union or MoneyGram. Read: www.never-wire-money-to-strangers.tk No real company uses a telephone number that begins with +44 70, +44 871, +44 870, +44 844, or +44 845. Those are forwarding numbers which are not in the UK. Read: www.scam-telephone-numbers.tk

Job offer from Hilton Hotel is a scam!
No in person, face to face interview is always the sign of a scam! If they want money, its a scam! If they want you to pay and say they will refund the costs, you will just send money to a fake embassy official, travel agency or lawyer who is a really a scammer! Read: www.scam-job-emails.tk No real company or visa agent ever uses a free email address. Read: www.scam-email-addresses.tk No real visa agent ever requests you wire money into any bank account or by Western Union or Money Gram.

Those are forwarding numbers which are not in the UK. Read: www.scam-telephone-numbers.tk There are no exceptions! Don't let a scammers convince you otherwise! Always "Google" all telephone numbers, email addresses and websites in any job offer to see if it has already been posted as a scam!
