The entire board members and management of Park Plaza Hotel are very pleased to have you as part of this great establishment. The entire board members and management heartily congratulate you on the success of your job application. We do hope that you will put in your best to ensure the steady growth of this company.

However, employees who are Non-Citizen and Non-Resident in the United Kingdom are required to proceed with the application, processing and procurement of all required legal immigration documents. This is in accordance with the amendment to the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act of 2006, effective from 29 February, 2008. All employees seeking to live and work in the United Kingdom who are currently Non-Citizen and Non-Resident in the United Kingdom are required to provide proof of the Right to Live and Work in the United Kingdom. In line with Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act of 2006, it is required that all employees who are Non-Citizen and Non-Resident in the United Kingdom obtain all necessary immigration particulars to enable them live and work legally here in the United Kingdom.

In accordance with the British Constitution of 1963 reform section 102 Act Decree 881 of the Federal Law of Immigration, it is the duty of any Foreign Contractor/Agent/Employee to pay responsibly for the procurement and acquisition of his/her Foreign Affairs Certificate, Accession Worker Card, Workers Registration Scheme and National Insurance. According to the Law which is holding the UK Visas and Immigration, the Employer will take the responsibility of obtaining Expatriate Residence Permit, Expatriate Work Permit and Visa (if required) for the Employee while the Employee will carter for his/her Foreign Affairs Certificate, Accession Worker Card, Workers Registration Scheme and National Insurance.

In view of the above, We contacted our Immigration Consultant (ActionVisas (UK) Limited) as to enable them solicit on your behalf here at the office of the UK Visas and Immigration. However, our Immigration Consultant ActionVisas (UK) Limited informed us that they have provided you with all necessary information relating to the application, processing and procurement of all the required immigration documents and also give you step by step guidelines on how to successfully apply and procure all required legal immigration documents needed for you to be able to legally live and work here in the United Kingdom but they are yet to get any response from you. You are required to check your email, including your spam folder and respond to their email in due time.

ActionVisas (UK) Limited has been our affiliate Immigration Consultant for over a decade now and they has been assisting all our foreign employees who are Non-Citizen and Non-Resident in the United Kingdom to apply, process and procure all immigration documents required to enable them live and work here in the United Kingdom. We advice that you cooperate fully with our Immigration Consultant to enable them provide you with all the needed assistance to ensure the swift application, processing and approval of all your required immigration documents.

Stated below is the contact details of our immigration consultant:
Immigration Law Department

England, United Kingdom

In keeping to our promise to fully support you in acquiring your immigration documents, Park Plaza Hotel shall shoulder all cost relating to the processing and approval of your Visa (NON-EU), Expatriate Work Permit & Expatriate Resident Permit (NON-EU & NON-EEA) and also carter for your Flight Ticket. Any other cost of obtaining documents not mentioned above will be paid by you.

This means that processing of the supporting immigration documents not mentioned above are the sole responsibility of the employee. However, the cost of your Visa and Prepaid Flight Ticket will been undertaken by the Management. You are only required to pay for the cost of other supporting documents. The reason for this personal processing of Immigration Documents by employee, is due to the fact that in the past after processing the documents for some employee they don't show up for their job duty, where by incurring cost for the company. You are to bear some of your travel documents processing expenses upfront to prove your seriousness and commitment to work with our reputable organization. While the management will bear the cost of processing and approval of your Visa, Expatriate Work Permit & Expatriate Resident Permit (NON-EU & NON-EEA) and also carter for your Flight Ticket. We therefore advice you to carry on every due processing with our immigration consultant for the procurement of your Immigration Document. Also remember that as stated in the contract, any Expenses you make on the process of registering your documents shall be refunded back to you on joining us as soon as you submit your expenses report.

I advise that you proceed with the processing of your immigration documents to enable you resume your duties in due time. Also note that as clearly stated in the Employment Agreement "One months’ salary (inclusive of all Travel/Relocation Allowances & Benefits) shall be paid in advance before Employee relocates to Primary Job Location after confirmation of procurement and verification of all required employment and immigration documents. All payments of salary after assumption of duty in the United Kingdom shall be paid 100% into a bank account to be provided by the Employee. This is in line with the United Kingdom Expatriate Financial Statutory Laws. The Employer shall reimburse the Employee in full amount for all reasonable expenses incurred during the process of travel and procurement of immigration documents and any other required certification. You are strongly advised to keep original receipts and evidence of payment(s) made before arrival in the United Kingdom as reimbursement applications made without receipt or evidence of payment shall be denied".

Your response to the above directive is needed urgently. If we do not receive a confirmation from our Immigration Consultant within the next seven working days that you have commenced with the processing of your documents, we will immediately withdraw our job offer to you as we have some other qualified applicant applying for the same position that has been offered to you.

Congratulations once again on the success of your application and we look forward to your arrival at Park Plaza Hotel and are confident that you will play a key role in our company's expansion. Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can do anything to make your arrival easier.

ATTENTION: <snipped>

The Directorate-General for Tax and Customs Policy Revenue of England via it's intelligence-monitoring network have discovered that Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London Hotel are about to remit some funds valued at £13,100.00GBP (Thirteen Thousand One Hundred British Pound Sterling) being proceeds as your relocation allowance on your employment without the payment of Non Residential Tax being a Non British resident. The parcel which is on transit and couriered by First Flight Couriers (Europe) Limited contains various immigration, employment documents and a certified cheque valued at the sum of £13,100.00GBP (Thirteen Thousand One Hundred British Pound Sterling) was intercepted at the Heathrow International Airport.

Non Residential Tax is the sole responsibility of the beneficiary. Income taxes are from sources which generally include direct federal tax, communal taxes, as well as, most of the time, church tax. As in the case of income tax, cantonal tax rates vary to a fairly large extent depending on the locality. Governmental tax scales for withholding tax and the corresponding regulations are available at the Government Tax Departments. The funds£13,100.00GBP (Thirteen Thousand One Hundred British Pound Sterling) with other valuable documents backing your employment are now on HOLD because we (Tax Investigation Service) noticed that you are not a British Citizen, so in this case, you will have to pay a Non-Residential Tax fee before the transfer of your funds will be allowed out of the shore of this country.

In accordance with British Tax System of Inland Revenue Ordination Decree 1997 section 51 of British Tax Legislation Law reviewed by the Prime Minister Tony Blair and Former State Secretary Helen Clarke of the Ministry of Finance, Revision of Tax 1999. I wish to bring to the notice of the governing board of Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London Hotel the consequence of remitting such huge amount of money outside the shores of this country without complying fully with the provision of the financial regulations and directives contained in section 51 of 1997 decree act which stipulates that for any amount ranging from £5,000.00GBP (Five Thousand Pound Sterling) and above the recipient must pay for tax accordingly. This will duly guarantee and cover the money as being legitimately acquired from the England.

By virtue of the powers conferred on us as the accredited board of Directorate-General for Tax and Customs Policy Revenue of the England and laundering agency in England solely responsible for issuing the certified Non-Residential Tax Clearance Certificate on foreign transfer compensation and remittance.

We therefore wish to clarify Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London Hotel and the Ministry of Justice that the beneficiary (<snipped>) of this fund must be advised to seek appropriate Non-Residential Tax Clearance Certificate upon the payment of the sum of £1,200.00GBP, otherwise the money will be impounded as laundered and all documents seized.

The fee for such clearance has been calculated inclusive of VAT and for immediate conclusion of all relevant bureaucratic procedures and accreditation, the payment must be made henceforth through our Accredited Account Officer co-ordinates via MoneyGram. You are required to send us the scan copy of you payment receipt as soon as you make the payment.

ACCOUNT OFFICER CO-ORDINATES
Odele Kamaru
Buckingham Palace, London SW1A 1AA, United Kingdom

Failure by the beneficiary (<snipped>) to abide to the lay down procedures and regulations, the remittance of the fund must be stopped with immediate effect. Therefore, Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London Hotel is hereby directed to stop further payment modalities of the above-mentioned beneficiary until a TAX CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE is issued for the transfer of the said funds. Please note that must be made via MoneyGram as payment not made via MoneyGram would not be received.

We would like to bring to your notice that failure to obtain your Non-Residential Tax Clearance Certificate, the money will be impounded as laundered, all documents seized and you will not be allow to enter or take employment again in the United Kingdom.

There is no limit on the number of workers coming to the United Kingdom (UK) to do jobs with an annual salary of £150,000.00 or above.

On 15th March 2013, a written Ministerial Statement was laid in Parliament outlining a number of changes to the Immigration Rules.

Increased funds required for Tier 2 Applications from 1st November, 2013
From 1st November, 2013, the UK Personal Savings you must have to support your application have increased. If you plan to make a Tier 2 Application on or after 1st November, 2013, you must ensure the correct funds are held in your UK Personal Savings Account as soon as possible.

I already have your personal details, passport photograph, international passport and signature specimen. I shall forward all these information to our affiliate bank to enable them open a UK Personal Savings Account in your name and the account will be opened in form of a Suspense Account which I shall use in support of your Tier 2 Visa Application as required. As soon as the processing exercise of your Tier 2 Visa is completed and your Tier 2 Visa is approved, you may decide to withdraw all your funds and close the account or you may continue to use this account as your Personal Savings Account upon arrival here in the United Kingdom.
Be informed that our affiliate bank shall proceed with the OPENING and ACTIVATION of your UK Personal Savings Account as soon as I send them all the requirements needed for the OPENING and ACTIVATION of the account. As I have stated earlier, I already have your personal details, passport photograph, international passport and signature specimen and what is required from you now to enable our affiliate bank proceed with the OPENING and ACTIVATION of your UK Personal Savings Account is the Initial Deposit/Opening Balance. I have already made contact with our Account Officer at the Bank and informed him that the correct funds which must be held in your UK Personal Savings Account to support your Tier 2 Visa Application as stated above will serve as the Initial Deposit/Opening Balance.

You are hereby required to effect the transfer of £550.00GBP via Money Gram or Western Union Money Transfer to enable me submit all the requirements to our affiliate bank so that they can proceed with the OPENING and ACTIVATION of your UK Personal Savings Account as required for your Tier 2 Visa Application.

Welcome to Scamwarners,

It is a scam.

Real companies in England do not use +44-70 numbers. Scammers use them to pretend to be in the UK when they are not.

parkplazacareers.co.uk is email-only. Please post the headers of the email so that we can kill it.

Good morning all,

I received this letter a short while ago and got very excited. However I have a cousin who works abroad who has prepped me pretty well and has trained me with what to look for in scam letters. I also did a lot of reading online. When I got the email I went back to Park Plaza's official website and made some observations. But what tipped me off was the phone contact number that was used. So disappointed.
