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.

Unsolicited call from Embassy
Today (20 May 2011) I was telephoned by the Embassy. I know this from dialling 1471 to check my missed calls. I have no business with them, so wonder if this means their phone is being misused for sales? It could have been a misdial, of course.

please help if this is a scam or real
I submitted my resume to IDEA ACCESORRIES LTD. and they found out that Im qualified for the position I granted and they gave me employment application then followed by a questionnaire then after that they send a CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT and CERTIFICATE OF EMPLOYER SPONSORSHIP. All task, terms and condition are posted but one thing that I'm bother of is that they require for 300GBP for my working visa. But the rest the company will be shouldering the fees.
Do send me a message to my account rhonesm@yahoo.com
Note: The company wants me to send all papers as soon as possible

Mr. Charles Norton
My Name is Mr. Charles Norton, I and my wife are always busy at work and we are looking for a male or female caregiver/nanny to look after 2 healthy happy sons (Melvin) aged 5yrs and (Russ)3rys. This is a full-time role 5 days per week with some weekend work required. The role would involve getting the kids up and ready for school, cleaning and tidying, ironing, grocery shopping.

I found your profile and phone number on a filipino job searching site while I was searching for a filipino caregiver/nanny, who can take care of my kids at our absent, because I once employed a filipino as a cook when i was in Canada and Her service is really appreciated, so that was what gave me much confident to contact you as filipino, because I have known filipino to be very good in household work.

As flexibility is important this is a live-in position - own room with TV, DVD, Foxtel and unlimited Internet access (if you have a laptop or PC) and all food, utilities etc covered plus use of our car for personal use on weekends / during the week when available.

The proposed salary will be 2,300 GBP per month, while 200 GBP will be given to the her/him every week for the upkeep which will not be included in the basic salary.

Be rest assured that all expenses for your coming will be paid by me, except your Work permit fee which will be your responsility as directed by BRitish Foreign Employmeny Agency (BFEA).

Regards,
Mr. Charles Norton
