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.

Question about ingenuity of received email on employment
Hello,
My name is Akshay Bidnur. I had received following email from a company titled Tano Energy UK:

Please find attached a copy of your contract letter and do contact me if you do have any query.
Regards,
Malcom Swanson

It mentions to me of a job at aberdeen and to obtain a scottish employee accredition certificate.

I mentions to send scanned copies of my
1. data page of valid passport.
2. colour passport photograph.
3. scottish employee acceptance certificate
4. signed contract letter.

I was told to co-ordinate with the following mentioned solicitor(whom i doubt to be a genuine one as well) for the same:

Stephen Park
34, Albyn Pl.,
Aberdeen, AB10 1FW.
United Kingdom,
Tel: (+44)740-479-4122
email: stephenpark % consultant.com [WARNING: SCAM EMAIL]

I am not able to attach file or copy paste from the pdf file sent to me so i am not able to send you the exact details but if i do get a contact email where it would be taken note of. please let me know of it.

Following were the details:

from: Tano Energy UK career@tanoenergy.co.uk via yahoo.com

reply-to: career@tanoenergy.co.uk

to: AKSHAY.BIDNUR@gmail.com

date: Tue, Jul 17, 2012 at 12:07 PM

signed-by: yahoo.com

the email had no mention of a disclaimer note which most of the reputed companies have.

So i am doubtful and wish to seek help in the matter if you are having any other email id i will also send you the contract letter sent to me. This is my personal email ID: akshay.bidnur@gmail.com

Awaiting your reply,

Akshay Bidnur
