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.

Visa Processing
Hi ,
My parents had applied for UK Visitor Visa to visit my husband and Self during my mom's school holidays.It is crossed the date of the ticket booked and attached in the application. It is sad that US provides a 10 year visa for the same processing fee almost immediately. I think UK should learn to trust genuine applications. People who are cheating them in a professional manner get thru their so called stringent system and the genuine one's suffer. It is hard to understand what they do with each of these applications for weeks together. Do the documents ripen in these weeks. It is hardly 20 sheets of paper that one is going thru. They make this process look so bad. I was planning to do research i this country, but if this country would not let my old parents even visit me, then it is not worth giving all this money to the economy when others are welcoming you with both the hands.

Job offer from Dumbarton Joint Hospital, Scotland UK is a scam
Please read: http://www.fraudwatchers.org/forums/showthread.php?t=59673 No real employer ever hires you without an in person interview. No real employer requests any money from you or sends you to someone else who demands money! Those jobs are always scams.
