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.

thanks to this site ^_^
I also received a txt message and an email from that fellow mr. charles norton . . .
but im also the type of person who would make sure of thing`s ^_^

to those who are asking themselves how`d they got our # . . .
(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.)

ok sa banat dba ^_^ ! ! !
dapat maikalat din yan sa mga jobsite`s ^_^ pra wala mabiktima ^_^ anywy thanks ^_^

DAVID BRENAN SCAM; ASTRASENECA(S) CEO
Don't be deceive of an email sent to you. Examining the letter: The real astraseneca website is astrazeneca.com, that is without S. Now examine the pretender's email address: david.brennan@astrazenecaS.com

another thing is that the real uk offices web extension is most likely: gov.uk I suggest you suspect website, if are goverment own, when it's extension is .COM

Mr. Charles Norton Texted me Too!!
Hi everybody, I have received also a text message from this Mr. Charles Norton, using his mobile number (+447527328....) from London yesterday. He also gave me his email add dr_charlesnorton@yahoo.co.uk. When I emailed him for more info regarding the job he offered, he replied me with the same format as Mr. Wrights sending to other filipino people. At first, I thought it was a true job offer considering that the mobile number was from london but when I read lots of scam reports at the internet I am convinced now that this is just a scam. So, mag-ingat tayong lahat wag basta² maniniwala!!
