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.

Attention ***********

This is in response to the telephonic conversation that we had this afternoon pertaining to the pending charges for the registration of the documents in accordance to issuing the working visa and permit.

As I explained to you, we did received all your documents out here but I order to issue you the working visa and permit we need to register these documents and create a visa file under you name following which the travel documents will be issued. As mentioned on the form there will be a charge of Rs 88300 for registering the documents and processing the working visa and work permit for a span of 2 years. In order to clear the outstanding fees, I have issued you an account to make the clearance for the same.

embassydepartent@hotmail.com has nothing to do with the British Government!
embassydepartent@hotmail.com is operated by scammers probably in West Africa. embassydepartent@hotmail.com is obviously not the email of the British Government which would never use a free email address! You should know that a hotmail address is a scam!

embassy department embassydepartent@hotmail.com is not the email address of the real embassy!
The real embassy does not use a free email address! Before paying money why didn't you verify the address? Fake job scammers impersonate embassy officials all thr time? Why is it the embassy fault if you are so careless?

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 There are no exceptions!  Don't let a scammers convince you otherwise!  A scammer is only as smart as his victim is naive!  If something sounds too good to be true, it is a scam!  Always "Google" all telephone numbers, email addresses and websites in any job offer to see if it has already been posted as a scam!
