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.

HARRIGNTON HALL HOTEL,UK. Is a scam!
britishembassyindia@contractor.net is a free email address that the real Briitish Embassy does not use!
All hotel job offers are scams. Hotels in UK do not hire unskilled workers in India when they can just get them in the UK.
Please read carefully because this applies to every job offer you receive! 99% of email job offers are scams! No real company hires you without an in person, face to face interview. An email, online or telephone interview is always a scam! No real company ever charges any money for a job even for a visa or work permit! If they want you to pay and say they will refund the costs, you will just send money to a fake embassy official, travel agency or lawyer who is a really a scammer! Read: www.scam-job-emails.tk No real company, government or visa agent ever uses a free or public email address (yahoo.com gmail.com hotmail.com, aol.com, etc.) Email addresses like diplomats.com [WARNING: SCAM EMAIL], counsellor.com, consultant.com, lawyer.com etc. are also free email addresses. Read: www.scam-email-addresses.tk No real visa agent ever requests money via wire to a bank account or by Western Union or MoneyGram. 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 If the company does not have a website or the website does not work, it is a scam! Do not assume a website is legit! Read www.scamwebsites.tk There are no exceptions! Don't let a scammers convince you otherwise! A scammer is only as smart as his victim is naive! If something sounds too good to be true, it is a scam! Publicity defeats scammers. Post the scam emails you receive and warn your friends! Always "Google" all telephone numbers, email addresses and websites in any job offer to see if it has already been posted as a scam!

Yes Ramz it is a scam
ukembassy.consultant@gmail.com is a free email address which no real embassy would use. All house supervisor, house keeping, house cleaning, nanny jobs, private nurse, etc. jobs from Canada and UK are scams.  No stranger in another country is going to hire a stranger in India who he can't see, and pay to fly them to their home and trust them with their family.  It doesn't make sense.  They could just hire someone in their own country who they know or could interview!

query
Sir i got a job offer from mr richard from uk in supervising post for his house...when i asked the details he send all these this
" Thanks for your mail, I have contacted the UK Immigration office here in  (London) and has been told that Employment Visa can only be issued to you in the UK embassy in your country (India). All document's need for the processing of your visa and work permit has been submitted to the UK Immigration office here in (London), and Copy's of the same document's has also been fax to the UK Immigration service in your country India. 

It was clearly stated to me that the screening process for getting a UK Visa/work permit at the moment is very hard for a lot of Asian and Non- citizens based on the fact that many would not want to come back when their visa or work permit get expired, so for these facts, a lot of documents will be required from you as prove that you will return back on due time, and the process will take over 4 week for the visa/work permit to be ready.

Because of the express traveling approval of your working Visa and considering the documents that may be required from you to be presented by the UK embassy in your country, and the nature of interview that you might face, the time of Visa delay, which might not be all that favorable to you, thereby resulting to refusal of the visa to you. so with the help of a reputable immigration officer  i was able to make a contact with the UK embassy's  in Chandigarh/New Delhi India Office (Mr. John Williams) and have concluded all arrangement with him to assist you for fast approval of your Visa/work permit without much delay and long visa protocol and he has promise to be of help. You are to contact him via email as soon as possible with the following documents.

1. Your complete resume.
2. Your signed Contract Agreement Letter.
3. Your Passport Copy
4. Your Passport Photograph
5. Mobile number

Below are his details
Name: Mr. John Williams
Email:ukembassy.consultant@gmail.com

Please do Contact him as soon as possible, but let me know too.
Always feel free to contact me,

Best Regards,
Richard"
