| Notes | Beware 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. |

HILTON HOTEL FROM LONDON is a fake job scam!
Please read: http://www.fraudwatchers.org/forums/showthread.php?t=59241 and http://www.complaintboard.in/complaints-reviews/hilton-international-hotel-london-l47789.html Googling the telephone number or email address of the "visa" officer will tell you immediately it is a scam! Google is your friend. Use it.
No real government visa official would EVER use a free email address like: britishconsulatebombay@yahoo.co.uk. A real visa does not cost 30500! No real job ever requires you to pay any fee. Please post the entire email! Please also read why it is fake her: www.scamjobemails.tk

No real diplomat ever requests that you deposit money into an account to receive a visa! That never happens and ALWAYS INDICATES A SCAM. Please read: http://419advancefeefraud.blogspot.com/2012/07/why-your-employment-email-is-probably_20.html Please post the email from the scam hotel and the email address the scammer pretending to be a diplomat is using.
ukvisaapply@britishhigh-commission.com is a scam email address which does not belong to the real British High Commission! See:
