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.

Dont believe and be fooled
Most of these jobs are posted by guys who copy the job descriptions and try to get clients from abraod.
Please don't pay money to these guys. look into the occupaton lists whether your category of the job is inhe Uk Border agency website. if at all you get any offer letter , apply with that letter to the Uk high commision once, you get visa, then pay the money.
another information, if you make more than 2000 dollars after tax in the uk is big money.. i dont thing any compnay who is hiring you pays more than 3000 pounds unless u are software professional or ceo. i lived in London, uk for more than 5 years. i know the situation, there are surviival jobs but now the situaiton is very bad... lots of cuts and layoff.. think about it, dont become prey for the West african guys (sorry for discrimination) who try all the sorts of thigns to get innnocent people's money. The clue is "western union" or money transfer , dont belive them..
thanks
contact me.. if you have any quieries ofmarun@yahoo.co.in

american civil hospital scotland is a fake job scam
It is s scam. There is no such thing as a UK Police Clearance Certificate. You should never have to pay anything to get a job! No hospital in Scotland is going to hire someone in India when there are plenty of workers in Scotland. Please post the entire email or send it to me.
