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.

Cook Job is a scam
Peter Varghese, No real diplomat ever requests money be sent to a bank account! No job cook would ever cost money. No UK company is going to hire a cook in India when there are plenty in the UK needing jobs who don't need visas. Post the entire email including the contact information of the fake company and fake diplomat and don't send any more money!
