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.

Maroch Hospital Ltd Scotland
Job offers from Maroch Hospital Ltd Scotland are scams. Any job offer requiring an "administrative fee" or any fee is a scam. As soon as some company offering you a job wants to get a visa for you, its a scam, because you can get a visa yourself.
