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.

Dr.Jemes Alexander. +447014236854 is a scammer
Here is a post by another scammer using this number: http://www.consumercomplaints.in/profile-1600244 It is a UK global redirecting number which forwards the call to the scammer. Read: www.scam-telephone-numbers.tk and www.scam-job-emails.tk
