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.

Reply to all messages regarding vacancy of Walter and embawood interior
I have received both these spam mails the Walter C and Embawood CEO.
In this day and age almost every person has a facebook if not linkdn profile to view them online. To sieze these two fake messages I mailed them back with some tricky questions like photograph of the accomodation they wish to provide from the official id of the employer. Got the most amusing reply
' sorry the job is not meant for you okay just forget about it and dont mail us ever you"r the greatest idiot i"v ever seen in my life. '

My comments/observation being an advocate:
1. The sentence construction and the language both were unprofessional
2.employers refrain from soliciting jobs overseas on gmail and other free email accounts , they usually use company id
3. The name of the employers hold no substance in virtual / online world and these are fictitious job vacancy
4. Try not to divulge your personal details.
