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.

Reporting crime or suspicious behaviour
Reporting crime or suspicious behaviour

This page explains how you can report suspected immigration crime (such as illegal immigration or illegally employing foreign workers), smuggling or terrorism.

If you suspect that someone is involved in these crimes, we want to hear from you.

Your swift action can make the difference between criminals being caught or getting away.

Information is one of our most effective tools in the fight against crime. Please give us as much detail as you can, such as:

details of the immigration or customs offence that you want to report - including its date, time and location
details of the people involved - their names, work/home addresses, nationalities, passport details and dates of birth (if you know them)
how do you know this information, and why you are telling us about it now

If transport was used, please also tell us:

the type of vehicle (car, van, lorry, boat or aircraft)
the make and model
the registration number
the name (if it is a boat)
information about its appearance (such as colours and distinguishing features)

Please do not investigate anything further or put yourself at risk.

We would like you to give us your contact details, in case we need to speak to you. Please tell us how and when you can conveniently be contacted. Your information will be treated as confidential, and we will not tell the people involved that you have contacted us. However, we will not be able to tell you what action is taken as a result of your information. But you can make an anonymous report on the Crimestoppers website.

Report illegal immigrants and other immigration offences

To report immigration crime, you can e-mail us. Please include the name of the town or city where you suspect the crime is happening (for example, Croydon), or the postcode, in the e-mail subject line or title.

We will pass your message on to our local immigration team in the appropriate part of the country. Where appropriate, they will investigate and take action.

HELP ME TO DECIPHER IF THIS IS SCAM OR NOT
I saw the job on trabaho philippines and I applied for the job. The employer is offering 1000 pounds weekly as my salary and 200 pounds weekly allownce. I already chat with the employer thru YM and he told me that he will shoulder the 600 pounds for my visa processing but I have to shoulder the remaining 200 pounds. I begin to doubt about it because, correct me if I'm wrong, I think he will be responsible for my visa so I don't need to shell out money for it. And what is 200 pounds by the way, when he offered to shoulder the 600 pounds? I just wanted to be very sure of it. the travel agency told me thru mail that I have to send them the 200 pounds firsts before they process my papers. The employer told me that right after we chat, he'll drop by the travel agency to pay the 600 pounds, how come are they(travel agency) not process my visa when my employer already paid them a much larger amount? 600 vs. 200 pounds? and the travel agency will have to wait for the 200 pounds coming from me. and oh, I will have to wire the money thru western union. the address from the website of benz travel limited is different from the address that was stated in the mail i got from "benz travel". They are John Morgan, the mail sender; and Bruce Leonard the recipient of the 200 pounds. Please help me clarify this a little bit more. Thank you so much in advance for your replies!
