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.

Spousal Abuse
Hi there.

I am currently living in Goa with my 11month old son. Recently my husband (Indian citizen) has become very abusive. It is happening almost on a daily basis now. He keeps threatening to hurt our son just to get at me.

I can't go to the police because he said that he will simply tell them that I am on drugs or something and they will take my son away from me. (Just to be clear I have never taken drugs. I don't even smoke).

Please can anyone tell me if the embassy in Goa can help me get my son and I safely away from him?

BRITANNIA SACHAS HOTEL is a fake job scam!
All Hotel job offers to persons in countries such as India are fake. No real hotel is going to be able to get a visa for an unskilled worker in a faraway country to come to Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia or the United States! There are plenty of workers already in those countries for those jobs and you cannot get a visa to do unskilled labor.

Please read carefully because this applies to every emailed job offer you receive! 99% of email job offers are scams! No real company hires you without an in person, face to face interview. An email, online or telephone questionnaire or interview is always a scam! No real company ever charges any money for a job for any reason whatsoever! Not for a visa or work permit, deposit, housing or courier charges! Read: http://www.scam-job-emails.tk Scammers will say the money will be reimbursed but it will not be! Your money will be sent to a fake embassy official, travel agency or lawyer who is a really the same or a different scammer!! No real company, government or visa agent ever uses a free or public email address (yahoo.com gmail.com hotmail.com, aol.com, etc.) Email addresses like diplomats.com [WARNING: SCAM EMAIL], counsellor.com, consultant.com, lawyer.com etc. are also free email addresses. Read: http://www.scam-email-addresses.tk No real visa agent ever requests money via wire to a bank account or by Western Union or MoneyGram. Read: http://www.never-wire-money-to-strangers.tk No real company uses a telephone number that begins with +44 70, +44 871, +44 870, +44 843, 44 844, or +44 845. Those are forwarding numbers which are not in the UK. Read: http://www.scam-telephone-numbers.tk If the company does not have a website or the website does not work, it is a scam! Do not assume a website is legit! Read http://www.scamwebsites.tk There are no exceptions! Don't let a scammers convince you otherwise! A scammer is only as smart as his victim is naive! If something sounds too good to be true, it is a scam! Publicity defeats scammers. Post the scam emails you receive and warn your friends Always "Google" all telephone numbers, email addresses and websites in any job offer to see if it has already been posted as a scam
