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.

S.B International
Sir, I have contact S.B International, Kolkata for job overseas. They came up with few jobs in Canada. They are asking for much higher amount, clearly stating that the amount is their service charge. (amount not charged by the company as they are saying)
They even said that there will be an interview online through skype.
M confused, in dilemma, what shall i do??

Jimex Hotel London is a scam
You already know its a scam, you just want to accept the obvious. No real employer just gives you a job without an IN PERSON INTERVIEW! They don't just have you fill out a emailed questionnaire. That's ridiculous. Post the entire email or send it to me. Read: www.scam-job-emails.tk
