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.

Authenticity of documents
This a surge in emails received from various countries offering employees fake employment agreements and so on. My advise to the people who receive them should disregard and concentrate on the work they do. It is not easy to travel to countries like Britain and some European countries and even America. Unless you try the hard way, it will be quiet difficult. People should understand that every country they wish travel is hard with immigration and their economy is not what they think. Already the locals are facing many difficulties. Unless you are a professional guy, it will be very, very hard to go and find a job. My sincere advise to them is put an end to the quest of day dream.
