After a quick search I found out, that they have been abusing peoples for like half a year. They are constantly changing company name, Gmail account, and phone number. The email content is slightly changed each time.
They are getting the money out via Ukash voucher.
I phoned Ukash and they obviously cannot give me any details to whom the money went to, but the police can find out.
Does anyone know if all these jobs add are only to be found on Gumtree?
I really want to get these peoples to stop doing this!!!

Look what I just got. They are not using gmail and also added pretty convincing application form. Would love to believe them, but just cant. Glad that I decided to check google first.

Thanks! The site is hosted in, and the mail came from, EIG in Massachusetts. However, the mail did not go out through the exact box the site is hosted on, so it may not meet the level of proof required to get it listed in the fake site database. So please act as if you accept the job, sending the scammer a reply, get a reply from the scammer, and post both headers and body of both messages. Delete your name and email address from the messages. Once you get the reply, ignore all further messages, fake checks, etc.

Hi

I run a conference venue in Bristol called Armada House and we have had about half a dozen people turn up here carrying a version of this e-mail with our business name on. It's not a pleasant task having to tell these poor people they have been scammed, we tell each one to report it to the Police, we are also doing the same. We thought this was just something operating locally but reading the reports on here this is operating nationally. They seem advertise mainly on Gumtree.

My son got an email with an offer of a two day induction and training course. The email was almost word for word the same as other emails posted on here.

I decided to check this out before he parted with the £50 as a few things didn't ring true:
The email was Water Field Agency with a gmail address: [email protected]
A Companies House search came up no company with that name
The phone number - 02088075009 - no answer. If it was genuine, there would be at least an answerphone
The address given: Triumph Trading Estate, Tariff Rd, London, N17 0EB (where on the trading estate? I'll bet there are people having paid their £50, wandering around the estate looking for this non-existent company)
Why can't they accept a CRB from anywhere else - rubbish - a CRB check is a CRB check. Also, an enhanced CRB disclosure costs £44, not £50.
The company name, address and phone number seems to change every time, but it is easy enough to check these out.
With the company, google it and also look it up on the Companies House website: wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/
If it exists, check the registered address, then look that up. If it is a residential address, be suspicious. Check the address thoroughly to see what other companies, if any, are listed there.
Look up the address for the induction course on the email, see what companies are listed there and make sure it's not a minicab office or an internet cafe.
Google the phone number, like I did, which is how I found this site. See if it comes up on any scam warning sites.
If any of the above looks fishy, don't touch it with a barge pole. These people prey on the poor, the vulnerable, and basically the unemployed who will struggle to get £50 together and certainly can't afford to not see that money again.

A word of warning here, if anyone else gets one of these emails, report it to Consumer Direct on 0845 404 0506.

They still exist
I can't believe that someone can't find them according their IP address.

My boyfriend just got this email last week, we were so happy that a nice wine bar sent a job offer... We are new in London, so that's why we didn't search after them. This was the email:

After this we bought the voucher and sent them. And they sent a new email:

Dear Tamas,


Thank you for emailing your uniform sizes and also your ukash voucher numbers for your crb fees. The uniform is ready and will be given to you on the induction/training day. Unfortunately, we couldn't process your ukash £50 voucher numbers for your crb fees, we have tried several times but failed and also contacted ukash customer service which confirmed that your ukash voucher was good/valid, this might have been caused by an error on our payment processing system but we will refund all the crb fees to you when it's later confirmed. We advice that you email back another ukash voucher urgently to avoid delisting you from the job placement list and also the induction/training coming up.

The company will however refund all your crb payment fees on your next wages. we advice that you keep your ukash voucher receipt safe as it will be used as a proof for refund. The deadline to email back another ukash voucher number for your crb fees is the 27th of September 2012. We regret any inconvenience and hope to welcome you to the company on the induction/training day.

They tried to get more money from us!!! After this we tried to call their number, it was not available, then we felt it was just not right.


The next day they sent a new mail:

Dear Tamas,

Thank you for your mail. We were unable to process your voucher, Your voucher is the only one that was declined and terminated in your group and you might not be allowed to enter the training/induction without your CRB being processed. Once your CRB comes out satisfactory, the company will refund all you have spent to purchase the voucher.
We advice you email a new voucher code for your CRB check to avoid being de-listed from the training/induction tomorrow.

Recruitment Dept..

After this we emailed back that we have already sent it once and in their previous email the deadline was later. So the training day was the next day. He went there (however we knew it couldn't be real). There were 2 other guys there and later on a man came to say it was just a scam (who knows who he was) and that's it.

They still steal money from unemployment people.

Could you post the headers, along with the message he sent, also with headers?

I can't believe that someone can't find them according their IP address

An IP address just gives you a computer in a network in the best case scenario. It's not tied to an individual person in most cases. In fact more often than not it just shows an IP block for a particular Internet provider and can change every time a person logs in to a network. So identifying a person from just an IP address is near impossible.

Surprise surprise I also got the same message 2day I was really pleased until I googled the adress and it never came up, I then decided to google the number and have ended up here.. Sooo peed off and if I catch one of these scumbags may god help the effer.. The more I read the more dodgy it looks. NOT HAPPY
