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.

GENESIS OIL AND GAS CONSULTANTS LTD is a fake job scam
No real company EVER uses a free email address! Anytime someone sends you an email from a free email address offering you a job its a scam. Every time someone asks you for money for a work permit or a visa using a free email address, its a scam. Only scammers use telephone numbers that begin with +44 70. They are pretending to be in the UK when they are really somewhere else, usually West Africa. Please read: http://419advancefeefraud.blogspot.com/2012/07/why-your-employment-email-is-probably_20.html

GRAND HOTEL BRIGHTON UK is a fake job scam
Please read: http://www.fraudwatchers.org/forums/showthread.php?t=58163 The real British Commissioner would NEVER use a free email address such as:
british_highcommission@hushmail.com!!!! No real government or real company ever uses a free email address! It's always an indication of a scam. I could make a free email address saying indianconsulant@hotmail.com and then send you a email asking for Visas Fees? Are you going to believe me?
