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.

David Brennan Scam
We also received the email about that David Brennan. It seems like it's real at the first time because you can call the contact person. Can the embassy do something about it? The contact numbers are +44 704-578-2448, +44 702-401-1006 and if they can possibly track it in London?

It's a scam! The email address of Sir David is wrong, instead of astrazeneca.com, its astrazencea.com.

If you do have the same issue kindly let me know or inform me. My email is dlsu2078@yahoo.com, thanks!

Dear Au Pair,

We are looking for someone loving and energetic to look after our lovely 3 Years old baby boy Clinton. Ideally the person would start as soon as possible, although we are prepared to wait for the right person.

You will be required to look after him along with my wife during the day (Monday to Friday) whilst I am at work, with additional babysitting once or twice a week in the evenings or at the weekends.

The most important thing is that you must love kids, and be happy to help out around the house. We would like you to enjoy spending time with Clinton, and take very good care of him. He is a very happy, friendly, cute boy, who really likes to be taken out of the house to playgroups, swimming in our pool, going to the swings or beach, meeting friends, etc. He will grow to love you very much. Ideally we would like you to become like one of our family.

In return we can offer you a very competitive weekly wage(500GBP) for a live-in position (in our 5 bedroom detached villa,London, UK) You will have your own double bedroom with en-suite, television, DVD player, WiFi internet access and radio. We can also give you access to our car if necessary.

Loves this Embassy
I've rarely had any work with an embassy but must commend Philippines Embassy in UK.

I just received a message from a friend asking whether an offer from someone in UK for nanny of 2 kids was legit, and it lead right back to Linda Robert's address, though the person who sent this email was Mark Smith.

May continued trust be put into the Embassy, and for saving so many people the loss of their hard earned monies against fraudulent offers.

Regards to all
