NAKA RECIEVED NA RIN PO AKO NG DALAWANG MAG KASING TULAD NA JOR REQUEST NA URGENT DAW. ISA SA UK AT ISANG NANNI DRIVER SA US. I KNOW THIS IS SCAM. BECAUSE THEY ASK THE MONEY. - Arman Cabillo

Naku.Ako din muntik na.Sa London daw siya at need for Male Nanny for his 6mos old son. siya din shoulder ng lahat pwera tramet permit fee ako and it cost 395Pound.Kamuntik ko na masanla lupa ko ha.ha.ha.tnx sa inyo kasi na-icheck ko din niya yahoo for curiosity. - Jeric Aguilar

Muntik na rin akong maloko sa scam ni STEVEN janiszewski, beware lahat ng mga applicants,try to research first, kasi yung contract ko na pinadala sakin, hinanap ko sa internet ung Crown Court na nakapirma si Mr. Roderick Stevens - judge for oaths, wala rin sa listing ng mga legal courts sa UK kaya nag doubt ako. Yang travelocity lalong kinutuban ako kasi nanghihingi ng 500 pounds e pwede namang ikaw mismo ang mag process sa British Embassy kasi nag research na ko. E application process is 17k lang sa caregiver na work, kaya ingat kayo. Wag na wag basta mag bibitaw ng pera! I-try nyong i search sa facebook nakita ko ung family nya dun kung totoo man sila. Pwede ba natin silang ireklamo sa british embassy para wala na silang mabiktima. - Jane

THIS IS A SCAM:

Everyone here discussing the employment, if someone is asking for you to pay up front for anything it is a scam. Try googling up the agency or person you are supposed to look for and have their actual address and phone number. A quick review with no answers will let you know it's a scam, or a consulate for that country will immediately be able to tell you if it is legitimate or not. Do not waste precious earned money on people who will con you. The truth is countries like England will only hire if it is a service they must claim they cannot get elsewhere. An employer generally will not go out of their way to hire someone w/o papers unless you are exceptionally qualified for something (such as a doctor), they plan to underpay you or they know you personally. Please go through a valid employment agency first before losing your hard earned money to frauds. - Kim

tama si mitos! scam talaga to. si steven at donald ay iisa lamang. mag.ingat tayo sa kanila. - Bobit

Hi somebody has been emailing me now with a very similar format...he referred me to a very well known agency "Thomas Cook" & the agency wants me to send 200 Pounds sterling as my counterpart payment for the processing of my Visa..

I am already doubting its authenticity...

I'm asking if my friend who works in the UK can pay for me coz it will be more expensive sending the money thru western union...

The travel agency said that i have to pay from my country...

my doubts are rising...

who has the same experience???? - G
