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.

Job offer letter from CASPER SHIPPING COMPANY UK
Dear all please help me in this case which I have described here and answer me at your convenience. In recent I have received a job offer letter from Casper shipping company management by email.Although I had sent an application along with my cv for vacancy and they have instructed me to contact with Mr. Dominic asquith for processing my uk tier2 visa.I had contacted to him regarding my visa and blindly made payments of visa registration and anti drugs ,ebola virus certificate to clear the visa status.After that they are asking for money as basic travelling allowance. Ultimately they had sent my visa approval and made demand of BTA to complete visa processing.They also promised that my BTA money will be refunded to me on the date of stamping.But I did mot pay.So request all to guide me how to retrieve my paid money from them.
