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.

is this scam?
I am Barr philip Packer staff of Home office, UK Border agency Your Employer Mr Finn Cooper Have advised me to Help you and your friend gain entrance to the Uk

The UK Border Agency is responsible for securing the United Kingdom borders and controlling migration in the United Kingdom.

We manage border control for the United Kingdom, enforcing immigration and customs regulations. We also consider applications for permission to enter or stay in the United Kingdom, citizenship and asylum.

Disclaimer:

The UK Home Office wishes to authoritatively inform applicants seeking for immigration status into the United Kingdom not to make any payments for processing of Work Permit, Visa and/or Expatriate Quota Approval. Approval for entry (Visa) into the United Kingdom is executed by the Nearest British Embassy or Consulate within the applicants country of residence or location under regulation by the UK Home Office as at the time of application.
The UK Home Office will exercise its full powers to perform its responsibility to regulate entry into the UK, by:

Ensuring that the sponsor is financially capable to support the applicant entering the United Kingdom for Business or Pleasure throughout the duration of the validity of the Entry Visa.

Ensuring that the applicant, has the minimum stipulated financial requirement to earn the needed points for Visa Approval, going by the new point-based system for immigration in 2011
a Ensuring that the applicant is eligible to Live, Work and carry out business activities in the United Kingdom legally.

The new points-based system (PBS) is the biggest shake up of the immigration system for45 years.

Under the new system, migrants will need to pass a points-based assessment before they receive Certificate of Eligibility and permission to enter or remain in the United Kingdom. It will help British businesses recruit the skills it needs from abroad and assure the British public that only the skilled migrants will need to come to the United Kingdom. The role of employees/migrants with qualifying financial base is crucial to its success.

To complete new points-based system (PBS),you must send the following documents and in formations : -
---- an international passport {scan it and email to me}that i have received
------Fill the attached application forms
---- An address reachable by courier services to use receive your document shipment.

The following fees need to be provided by you and your employer for the processing of your work permit and travel Visa:

1,Sydney, N.S.W., Australia (SYD) to London, England, UK (LON)
Total price for this trip: 793.022 GBP
Note also that the flight information above have not been booked
yet.The booking will be after receiving all other needed documents.
2.The payment of your Application fee which is only 750GBP
3.The payment of the certificate of Eligibility of 750GBP
4 The payment of your Visa of 850GBP

The total fee to be paid by your employer793.00GBP+750GBP+650GBP+850=3143.00GBP

We Have contacted your employer with this payment information and he promised to provide the total fee of 3143.00GBP tomorrow morning

Certificate of Eligibility would be issued to your sponsor. Your sponsor is expected to courier the Form (COE-UKIMG2011) to you as this is proof that you have passed the point-based assessment. We shall also provide you with a reference number and interview date with instructions to enable you receive Visa at the Nearest British Consulate or Embassy in your Country.

Apart from sponsorship from UK Based Employers, employees are mandated to have at least a minimum of 500.00GBP which is the stipulated financial requirement/applicant travel allowance that must be in possession of the applicant/employee into the UK. Before the issuance of Form (COE-UKIMG2011) to your employer for issuance of Visa by Local British Consulate, you are required to show proof that the stipulated financial requirement/applicant travel allowance as indicated above is available.

CONFIRMATION/PROOF OF SUFFICIENT FUNDS

To meet the above requirement applicants are required to make a deposit of the stipulated financial requirement via western union or moneygram international money transfer using the following format :

Senders Name : Can be applicants husband or wife or spouse or brother or sister or relatives name as the case may be

Receivers Name: camille cecilia cerdenia
Payout Country: United Kingdom

Note: You must ensure that the senders name can be any of your family members but the receivers name must be you, for security reasons.
This fund will be used by you upon your arrival to the UK that is why you have to make the deposit with your name as the receiver.

Visit the nearest Post Office, Western Union/MoneyGram agent or Bank close to you and inform them of your decision to make a transfer. Follow the transfer instructions above carefully. After transfer has been effected, you shall send us the a Scanned Receipt of the deposit to enable our office call Western Union or Money Gram (whichever payment method you used) solely for Verification of the deposit. This is usually carried out within 48hrs.Remember to keep the original copy too which you use to withdraw the fund upon your arrival to London

Note : Ensure that the receiver is you so that only you can withdraw the deposit after the verification of deposit has been carried out, as the Home Office would not be liable for loss.

The instruction above would earn you the needed points under the point-based system for the release of your (COE-UKIMG2011) to your employer with instructions on how to receive entry status/notary from the nearest British Consulate.
Please review the flight details below if it is convenient for you to enable us effect booking as has been instructed us by your employer.

Yours Sincerely

I am willing to pay you 1,850pound monthly and weekly allowances of 250pounds respectively, let me know if you are ok with my salary offer, Your duty will be to bath the kids every morning, prepare food for them, drive them to school, get them back from when they are closed, take them out sometimes and always make them happy. My kids are very respectful and God fearing, so you won’t be having any attitude problem with them cos they well brought up by myself and their mum who is now late.

Mr. Charles Norton
I recieved a text message coming from +447587328731 telling me that he is Mr Charles Norton from london and searching for a caregiver/nanny for his 2 kids Melvin 5yrs and Russ 3 yrs old. and told me to get back to him via email @ dr_charlesnorton@yahoo.co.uk or by texting him to the number he used.
right now, i'm unemployed and was surprised and happy at first that somebody wants me to apply for the said position. But, of course before I want to give in on this, I want to make sure everything is legal and if this person really exists. there are many things comes on my mind after the first shock... then i thought that this might be a scam because how does this person knows my celphone number. i did not apply in any agencies going to london. i was scared that this person who is sending msgs like this is a syndicate and do human trafficking...
it's a good thing that i did the searching first.... whew!
I just hope that somebody won't fall from this stupid fraud.
