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.

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.
