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.

Holiday Inn Hotel is a fake job scam.
Just like every other offer ever posted in this forum. Do companies hire you in India w/o an interview? Of course not. Why would you think its any different in another country. You think some company is just going to give you a job without ever actually speaking to you? Please read what is already posted here because it applies to all these scams! Your offer is just like all the other scam offers.
