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.

Easy Hotel, Shawn Hotel & Ramada Hotel jobs are all fake!
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!
No real company hires you without an in person, face to face interview. An email or telephone interview is always the sign of a scam! No real company 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 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. 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 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!

Happy to help
BE AWARE, I HAVE LIVED IN THE UK FOR 12 YEARS,THEY DO NOT OFFER JOBS VIA EMAIL TO CITIZENS OUTSIDE THE EU, BE AWARE IT'S ALL A SCAM AND DO NOT FALL FOR IT, LETTERHEADS & EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS CAN BE DONE A FEW MINUTES ONLINE EVEN FAKE VISA'S CAN BE PRINTED ON A LASER PRINTER WITH YOUR PHOTO AND EMAILED TO FOOL YOU AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR DESPERATION.
YOU CAN GO AS A STUDENT, INVESTOR OR VISITOR PLUS ON A WORK PERMIT ONLY IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE A TOP HEART DOCTOR OR scientist. Goodluck.
