A European Agency that tackles legal documents

I tried to apply a job from bestjobsalary.co.uk and I got an email from them verifying that I have a possible employer. They advised me a strategy to obtain my personal id and all the documents from here http://documents-translations.com/ and the company asked me to pay 30 Euro for the service fee.
Now I'm reading all about scams and I'm just wondering if it is a scam? I can't figure it out myself so I'm hoping you can help me.. They seem real.. Thanks

Based on that and your mention of "personal identification number" you are dealing with scammers using a fake domain/website. Can you post the letters you received here, with headers? They may help our site killers to get the fake site removed.

Yours faithfully,
Translator Ltd

and here is the email from the bestjobsalary.co.uk

Dear Subscriber,

We would like to inform you that your application was submitted to a new employer who offers the same or similar working conditions, salary and type of work which you have chosen the previous time.

The employer will answer you personally, by e-mail or he will Contact me. It is possible that you receive an e-mail from a recruitment agency for intermediary services because it is a common practice that employers use those particular recruitment agencies. It is a manner of operation of those agencies that they provide everything from the beginning to the end: from the preliminary interview to the arrangement of the particulars for the issuance of the work permit, work visa, plane tickets and accommodation.

Further below we provide a link to your personal web page in our website. On your web page, you can find the automatically posted your employer's answer (if he happens to write to us), accompanied by an e-mail or contact details (if the answer is positive).

We recommend you to check your e-mail in the next few days very diligently. Please search for your employer's answer even in your SPAM (BULK) folder, because very often it happens to be delivered there, by chance.

If you find your employer's answer in the SPAM (BULK) folder of your e-mail, we recommend you to add his e-mail in your address book of contacts, even if his answer is negative.

Practice shows that even if the answer is negative, employers keep the CVs of their applicants. Very often when there is a new vacancy, the employer contacts the applicant again, although he was rejected the first time!

That is the why it is so important to add the employer's e-mail to your Contacts list or address book (the link "Add to Contacts" is on the top of every letter, on the right side of the e-mail address of the person who is sending you the e-mail. Click on the Add to Contacts, then - OK and SAVE).

We very often happen to send twice one and the same e-mail to an applicant and if he has not added our e-mail to his Contacts, our second e-mail goes to the SPAM Folder. Sometimes we even receive an automatic answer (especially from Yahoo mail) that this person doesn't have an e-mail account with them! This can happen in spite of the fact that we have received an answer to our first e-mail from him!?

Hence we recommend you to check your e-mail the next few days very diligently (including your SPAM Folder). Look for the employer's e-mail and when you find it, add his e-mail to your Contacts list or address book. Otherwise there is a real danger NOT to receive the next letters from your employer.

The employer can also give his answer to us. In this case we will post his answer in your personal web page.

You can check for new e-mails here: http://bestjobsalary.co.uk/personal_acc ... plcache-2/

We wish you good luck in your new enterprise!

Yours faithfully,

BestJobSalary.co.uk

Dear Applicant,


You are one of the hundreds of people who are contacting us about the opportunity to find a job abroad. Thank you very much for trusting our intermediary services!

Finding a job abroad can be a remarkably easy or rather infuriating process. Either way, every job-seeker should eventually succeed with patience, perseverance, and an open mind.

We are professional team that really helps people in need. Since we deal with so many applicants every day in real-world situations, the knowledge and experience gained from creating the best in our services allow us to react quickly and efficiently in all situations.

We understand that it is hard to pick out the real serious proposals amongst the non-effective or least-effective attempts of recruiting.

Please, be informed that finding a European employer, ready to accept candidatures from your country is not an easy job to be done. There are lots of preliminary made conversations and correspondence with various employers, most of who are saying "no" at the beginning. After all, in your case we are even not sure that we will have a positive result at all. Our experience indicates that (sorry to say that) everything depends on the circumstance and the possibility your candidature to be "sold out".

However, we always respect our applicants’ desires and expectations and in case an application was not successful the first time, then we are always ready to seek other options.

As you have already been informed, the standard application set of documents includes the following items:
1/ personal identification number in the foreign labor office
2/ CV – European format
3/ work permit form filled with your details
4/ motivation letter

Being a non-European citizen, you are most probably confused by these terms and completely at a loss about how to prepare the documents above.

Moreover, time is flying, there are thousands of other well-qualified applicants and sometimes it is a matter of days to be successful or miss an opportunity.

Instead of going around asking and wondering how to prepare this set fastest and in the best way possible, we suggest you to use services of specialized company that can obtain for you a personal identification number in the foreign labor office and provide all of the required documents with an excellent quality, i.e. in accordance with all European employment application standards.

Many other applicants of ours have used such a company because they were in need of quick and efficient assistance and not sure that they would prepare all with the required quality all by themselves.
Here we enclose the contact details of the company they used:
E-MAIL: [email protected]
YAHOO-MESSENGER: SERVICE_REGISTRATION

We kindly recommend you to avail their services as this is the most common and reliable course of action.
We truly hope that you will proceed with the further steps that need to be taken since they will lead to a successful end.

Your application is important for us and we are always ready to assist you.

Please keep us updated about the status of your documents preparation. Let us know after the documents company prepares the required application set and give us notice, so that we can give you further guidance.

Good luck in your endeavors!

The Team of jobs-ontario.biz

And honestly, stupid me I already paid 30 pounds. :\

All UK incorporated companies are legally obliged to register at Companies House Wendy and, as you already know now, there is no such company.

I'm sorry to hear that they scammed you, but clearly they would take a lot more from you if they could.

Note also that a company will have a bank account in their name, they will NEVER use a personal account or Western Union, which is only intended for making payments to relatives or people you know personally.

Gosh, I can't believe how stupid I am I gave in and believed them for almost 2 weeks! Anyway, thank you for helping me. WIll remember anything I learned here! More Powers guys!

I also received an employment offer in Ireland and i would like to know if this is a scam. this is the sample letter that she had sent me.

now i found out that this is a SCAM!!!!!!

THANK YOU GUYS, YOU SAVE MY LIFE...

i get frustrated knowing that its just a scam. I thought that it was the dream I have waited that could answer to all my problems. Anyway Im very happy and i wanna take this opportunitty to give a big thanks to scamwarner that he save my money and let me stop from believing to those scammer! and to all you guys out there thank you so much!!!

I do have same problem and I've tried to apply a job from bestjobsalary.co.uk and telling me to finish my preparation and due time. and I smell something fishy with this recruitment agency. and they are asking 33 euro for processing. I will attach here there messages.


Dear Applicant,

We would like to inform you that after several initial conversations with employers from UK the hard work of our highly experienced consultants have been benefited! We have an employer interested in your professional profile who is waiting you to submit your official set of application documents!

The application set comprises the following items:
1/ Europass CV
2/ Work Permission Application Form
3/ Job Application Letter
4/ European Union work office number or regional (countries office) number

About the documents preparation you have to start from obtaining the European Union work office number. It is obligatory. We cannot process your job application further without this number.

Non-European jobseekers who wish to apply and work in the European Union should obtain this number because it would facilitate and speed up the application procedure in many respects.

- Firstly, applicants having this number meet fewer obstacles and are treated with priority, as a rule. This is because officially only the European Union work office or regional (countries) office itself is the institution able to realize your job application. After a given application is listed in their database, it becomes officially present on the labour market, it becomes legitimate.

- Secondly, one potential registration European Union work office or regional (countries) office would help the employer in the application process - as you would already be entered into the respective work office lists, a certain employer will be able to just go to that office, point your number and state that he/she would like to hire exactly you. As employers are usually required to certify to the local institutions that they were unable to find natives with the required skill sets, your EU work office number will facilitate the employer to present proofs to the authorities why he/she prefers to hire a foreign employee. Therefore, having this number will make the procedure very simple.

We hope that after the above explanation, you will realize the importance of the EU work office number. Let us point out once again that this number is mandatory so that you become legitimate on the labour market. If you do not obtain this number it is useless to prepare the other 3 documents. You need to understand that the European Union is a heavy administration system and all is related to registration procedures and filing documents on every possibility to have work permission issued. This is exactly why you should comply with all the requirements and not risk being rejected because of underestimating any of them.

The procedure of obtaining this number can be completed only through a specialized company based here in Europe. We recommend you to refer to the services of the company, used by most of our applicants.

and this is the last message that i've received from this

Greetings from your Recruitment Agency!

We would like to remind you that there is already an employer who expects you to deposit your application set and with whom there have been held conversations. Let us remind you that you have a particular deadline for the preparation and dispatching of your application set. The deadline is mandatory to be observed and failure to fit in the deadline frames reduces the chances for success of your application to almost zero.

In one of our previous letters, we pointed out the list of the necessary documents. It has been coordinated with the foreign employer.

We would like to express our concern regarding the minor delay in your case.

As we already wrote, in case certain job applicant is not able to prepare the documents on his/her own according to the employer's requirements, it would be appropriate to use the services of a specialized company to speed the things up.

In order to facilitate the job applicants, we conducted a research amongst our users, who have used such services. It turned out that they are best satisfied by the company Documents Translations Services (email: [email protected] , yahoo-messenger: INFODOX ), a company with traditions, by both their quality and their price of 33 euro, which includes preparation of all documents + obtaining a European Union work office number or regional (countries office) number for free. As we already wrote, this company, along with the legal and consultant services which it renders, is also the owner of the publishers' web site Alienbooks.net a partner of Amazon.com which on its part is one of the biggest internet companies in the world.

We contacted this company and asked them to write their offer, especially addressed to Buckinghamshire-jobs.com team users. We apply the offer of this company as an attach file.

We recommend that you contact the company (or another similar company) and specify the things with them. Our users who have used the company informed us that it takes them only 2-3 days to prepare everything from A to Z. Even though the company is in Liverpool, they did not have to travel to there - they paid the fee through a bank transfer and received the ready documents in their email.

We would like to ask you to make the necessary organization and speed up the preparation of the required documents.

In case that, meanwhile, you have given up due to one reason or another, please inform us, so that we can offer another applicant for your job position.

We would be pleased to hear from you, in case you find it necessary.

Thank you in advance for your kind cooperation!

Yours faithfully,

Nora Jones

The whole thing is rubbish jhaze. EU work office number doesn't exist and all you are doing is talking to the same scammer with different names and email addresses. Don't unsubscribe to these mails because it tells scammer you are active at that email address and they will go away if you ignore them. Of course whatever follows, it will be a Western Union transfer which is always a scam. Scammers love to make the visa/work application thing so complex which it is not. Embassy websites will tell you what is required and it is not difficult to do all of it yourself. Make sure you are educated/ clear in your mind in what is needed and what to pay for, and how, and all problems will vanish.

thank you very much.
