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.

Stanlow Oil Refinery Job Offers
Hi Shravan Patil,

Its fake.. Please do not pay any money.

Stanlow Refinery is under company Essar UK Oil. Here is the message from Essar group:

***************

SUB: Unauthorised persons using Stanlow and Essar names and logos

Dear xxxxx,

Essar Oil (UK) Ltd has become aware of activities where unauthorised persons are using Stanlow and Essar names and logos in employment scams. These scams can appear professional, so it is important that any prospective applicant research the legitimacy of recruiting communications to stop fraudsters and avoid falling victim. If you have been contacted by a possible scammer, please also contact your local authorities.
Examples of such scams include:
- Questionnaire-based employment interviews
- Questionnaire-based decisions to hire
- Requiring payment (or pre-payment) for visa applications or processing
- Employment offers over social media, such as Facebook and LinkedIn
Although counterfeit recruiting communications can be difficult to detect, there are some common indicators to help spot the frauds. Essar Oil (UK) Ltd will never ask for fees or upfront payments during the recruitment process or as part of an offer of employment, nor will we ask new hires to pay any fees associated with their employment, including visa applications.
Other common indicators:
- Unsolicited communications;
- Reference to Stanlow Oil Refinery rather than Essar Oil UK;
- Misspellings of Essar Oil (UK) Ltd in online domain names or email addresses ;
- Non-Essar Oil (UK) Ltd email addresses e.g. yahoo or gmail.com;
- Offer of employment without physical interviews;
- Request for payment to apply for a job;
- Request for financial account details;
- Request for personally identifying information (including Social Security Number, Social Insurance Number, National Insurance Number,
passport information, passwords etc.);
- Request for payments to be sent to a third-party; and
- Request for payment for professional or business opportunities.

If you have any questions regarding the authenticity of any communication purportedly by or on behalf of Essar Oil (UK) Ltd, please contact us.
