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.

» Can I visit the United Kingdom without a visa?

Got appointment letter from moyle hospital, county antrim, northern ireland.
I got a mail from moyle hospital inviting cv for the post of staff nurse. I send my cv and on 21 august 2013 I got a reply saying that Am short listed. On the very next day I got another mail with an appointment letter attached saying I have to get an affidavit from british high court. I got doubt seeing the editted signature and ms word format appointment letter. Later I searched in net regarding affidavit and I saw similar complaints here. Although I didnt payed for anything, I wish if there was an end to all such scams... :(
