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.

rajesh - All Housekeeping Jobs Are Scams
Stop and think. Does it make any sense to you that someone in the UK, who could hire someone in that country who they could actually interview and see would instead send an email to a stranger in India who they can't see and who they would have to pay to fly all the way to the UK? No it doesn't! It's a scam! A number that begins with +44 70 is NOT IN THE UK! No real embassy official would ever use a free email address! No real company ever asks for money for anything! No real company hires you without an in person, face to face interview. No real company charges any money for a job even for a visa or work permit. Read: www.scam-job-emails.tk No real company or visa agent ever uses a free email address. Read: www.scam-email-addresses.tk No real visa agent ever requests you pay money into any bank account or by Western Union or Money Gram. Read: www.never-wire-money-to-strangers.tk No real company uses a telephone number that begins with +44 70, +44 871, +44 870, +44 844, or +44 845. Those are forwarding numbers which are not in the UK. Read: www.scam-telephone-numbers.tk Always Google contact information to find warnings. Read: http://www.giyf.com/
