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.

scam ?
oh my god , its a good thing i saw this thread. I received the same messeges as in verbatim , word per word the same , but the name is jonas mathias and he also sned me a picture of his family. he was hiring me as a live in english tutor for his wife. He offered me 1,500gbp and weekly allowance of 220gbp whick i think is too much to be just a tutor.

He even sent me a visa application form and a confirmed flight e-ticket even without a visa yet. hmm fishy right?

He was insistent and calling me everyday to fill up the visa application form and the reason why i doubted him was he was asking me many times during the call when will i submit the certificate of eligilibility bu submitting a scanned form of my money transfer. COE-UKIMG2011 .

thats why i tried to search for this. i was really having 2nd thoughts regarding this becasue it was only 1 week since he send me a messege in my email , then within that 1week he already have a contract for me and a visa application , hmm i really think theres something fishy , because its so impossible to process a visa in just 2weeks.

I received his messege last april 25, 2011 . and he wants me to leave by may 26? that fast to process a visa? hohohoho, theres even a uk border agency who emailed me the visa application form and travel requirement , and asking for the COE-UKIMG2011. imagine 1,000gbp?thats almost 75,000pesos..
