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 CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER ASTRAZENECA INTERNATIONAL
Mr. David Brennan sent me this message but I think it's not really him because when i looked at his email address instead of astrazeneca it's astrazenecea:

We are an American family working and living in United Kingdom. My name is David Brennan. My family is blessed with four children and six grandchildren. I live with my wife, Dottie and my grandchild, Jackson. I work with ASTRAZENECA INTERNATIONAL; AstraZeneca International is a global, innovation-driven, integrated bio-pharmaceutical company Located in United Kingdom http://www.astrazeneca.com, I am the Chief Executive Officer of AstraZeneca International.

We looking for an English and Mathematics teacher from Any Country that can speak English and is willing to stay with us for a minimum of 6 - 12 Months. We got your details from your Labor consultant (http://monster.com.my) and we decided to contact you, to discuss the possibilities of having you as our private teacher in the spirit of cultural exchange. Jackson is only four years old and he goes to school 5 days a week from 8.45am to 2pm. Your main duty is to teach and make sure that Jackson performs his school home works, give him additional lectures Etc.

We are very busy people and do not stay at home regularly that is why we need a Private Teacher to take good care of Jackson after school hours. Jackson is very easy going and as such you can get along with him easily. Your accommodation would be fully furnished and we would be paying you 920GBP weekly throughout the duration of your stay with us and we shall make available a vehicle for you to use if you can drive. I shall also get you a part time job in my Company upon your arrival to United Kingdom where you can earn more money during morning hours because you will only be taking care of Jackson after school hours

CAN YOU HELP ME IF THIS IS SCAM?PLEASE
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 Employment Agency (BFEA).

Regards,
Mr. Charles Norton

IT'S OFFICIAL SCAM - ASTRAZENECA CONFIRM IT
I CONTACTED THE FIRM DIRECTLY AND THEY CONFIRM THAT IT WAS A SCAM


Thank you for your enquiry.

Potential candidates should be wary of approaches that appear to be offering a job for which they have not applied, especially if personal details or money must be sent in order to proceed with the recruitment.

Neither AstraZeneca nor any commissioned third parties recruit in this manner. Such approaches are almost certainly fraudulent attempts to gain details of identity for illegal use.

Please respond if you have any further queries.

Kind regards,

UK Corporate Communications and Corporate Responsibility AstraZeneca
