Russneft-UK Scam

I received a scam job offer from a company claiming they are Russneft-UK and they sent an offer in UK. They are using the same old trick of having their lawyer preparing the Work Permit. This trick is 10 years old and I dont think that there are still people who could fall for it. I saw other user also posting simmilar announcement.
For whoever did not face such a situation, the trick goes as follows:
1- You receive an email to submit CV.
2- You receive an application form to be filled.
3- Then, without interview, you get an offer. This is the sign of scam.
4- They direct you to a lawyer for preparing a work permit with re-imbursable charges.

this is the email:

This is to inform you that you have been offered a position with the
RussNeft - United Kingdom. Your title is stated in the attached offer
letter.

Details of offer and benefits have been stated in the enclosed offer
letter. Your eligibility for other benefits and bonus potential will
take place per company policy. On arrival, you may discuss other
benefits, pension plan etc. with a H.R staff.

*IMPORTANT: We will like to state clearly, as per the United Kingdom
labour laws and company policy, the company will pay your relocation
allowance, reimbursement of moving expenses including immigration costs
AFTER completion of immigration process. If you are not in acceptance,
PLEASE do not sign the offer.

We are confident you will be able to make a significant contribution to
the success of RussNeft - United Kingdom and look forward to working
with you. If this offer is accepted, the signed offer letter will be
sent to the board for final endorsement.

Please indicate your acceptance of the offer by signing below and
returning one copy of this letter to me, with your original signature,
so we can begin your onboarding process. Acceptance must be received
within the next three working days to indicate your acceptance of this

Dear Фыва Про-Лджэ,

RE: WORK PERMIT APPLICATION PROCESS

Thanks for reaching out to us regarding your immigration procedure. The
process is straight forward. If you would like to apply now, please find
below outlined steps;

Step 1. [Summary of Applicant Requirements]
Kindly send the below listed to us by email or fax;
- Signed job contract
- Scanned copy of current Bio page in Passport [Page(s) with the
passport expiration date]
- State if you plan to relocate with any person(s)

Step 2. [Form completion and submission]
We complete the application form; if there are any issues, we will
contact you to resolve them. We then send the completed work permit
application form (WP1) the Government agency. We are registered and, we
can submit your visa application and get it processed on the same day!
Please note that we only have a limited number of slots each week, so it
is advisable to send in your documents as early as possible.

Step 3. [Employment Registration]
You must be registered by the United Kingdom Employment board for an
Employment number before you can begin work with your company. So on
approval of your application, the government agency will state the
applicable fee for the registration. The company cannot make this
payment on your behalf, but will reimburse you after your work permit is
issued. After payment is received, the government agency will send the
permit to you as you will need it in your possession before you enter
the UK. Since you are outside the UK the mail will also contain
instructions and an appointment letter to obtain a visa from the British
High Commission in your country.

Step 4. [Embassy appointment]
Your appointment letter will detail which documents to go with. At the
High Commission you'll complete a biometric exercise because when you
apply for a visa to the UK, the embassy will scan your fingers and
thumbs (10 digits) and photograph your face digitally. Afterwards, your
passport will be collected to be stamped and returned the same day or as
will be advised by the embassy staff.

Step 5. [Flight, Relocation Allowance, Apartment]
At this point, we will book your flight(s) on your preferred dates. The
company will also wire your relocation allowance and any reimbursement
to your account. On arrival to the United Kingdom, a member of our staff
will be at the airport to pick you up to your new apartment. The
apartment keys and servicing details of your new apartment will be
handed to you. Before your arrival, you may request for pictures and
details of the apartment.

Step. 6. [Orientation, Tour]
For the next two weeks, you will be given an orientation at work; a tour
around the city will also be arranged for you. During your orientation,
the Human Resources department will go over your benefits, duties, and
discuss with you about your career/future at the company.

Of course, the above stated is a simplified perspective of the entire
process but we are here to ensure everything goes smoothly. I think it
is also important to note the following;
[Education]
If your work permit is approved, your child(ren) are entitled to the
same free education as British children. You may choose to send the
child(ren) to a private school if you wish.
[Health care]
As a work permit holder, if you are coming down with your family as your
dependants, they are eligible to free health care provided by the
National Health Service.
[Work]
As a work permit holder, your spouse is entitled to take up any lawful
employment.

If you would like to move forward, please feel free to contact me with
the requested documents.

Kind Regards.

BLAIR S. HENRY

bh-immigration.com is in the process of being reported for fraud. Does Russneft have an email address or a website?

The email was sent from Hong Kong, apparently by a West African. Phone numbers beginning +44-70 are often used by scammers to pretend to be in the UK when they are not there.

Whats the objective of this scam ? Are they asking for money ?

Has some one tried calling the numbers provided by them ?

Its a fake employment scam.

The scammer will have you pay fees for pretend visa's, documents and etc..

There is no need to call the phone numbers. The numbers used are re-direct numbers pretending to be in the UK. These numbers are used by scammers and not real companies. These numbers can be answered any where in the world.
