Hello!


We hope that you have started the preparation of the required documents since your application has been very successful so far. The employer picked you after reviewing application of a few other people. The deadline is mandatory to be observed and failure to fit the deadline frames reduces the chances for success of your application to almost zero.

The work permit form is one of the listed items that the employer requests in order to potentially further process it. This should give you 100% assurance that procedure is legal and adheres to the valid legislation for hiring of a foreign worker.

We strongly recommend you to use specialized translation company for the preparation of your application set. Almost all applicants from your country have used the services of European Translation Agency because they were unable to prepare the requirements with the needed quality. The people who trusted the professional team of European Translation Agency received their documents in just 1 working day. This observes even the shortest deadline. Moreover, the documents were prepared with excellent quality according to all updated European employment application standards. This would facilitate the employer while filing the documents for work permit. Here are their contacts once again:

Their contacts are:
E-MAIL: [email protected]
YAHOO-MESSENGER: PRNSERVICE

The services of European Translation Agency have been checked and rechecked. We assure you that they are completely legal company. We are in no way interested to refer you to somebody who will not prepare your documents. We also want everything to go smoothly because you have no financial duties to us but we will get our profit from employer once you start work. This is exactly why we also want you to get this job.

As intermediaries, we advise you to follow all of our recommendations since it guides you to the successful end of this application.

We would like to receive confirmation from your end that you fully understand this stage of your application. We truly hope that you will proceed with the further steps that need to be taken since they will lead to a successful end.

We are looking forward to hearing from you soon.

This time I replied to them telling them that I'm interested to the said job. I asked them how can I arrange my papers and they give me the [email protected] email. They told me to contact this email and ask for the European Union work office numbers or regional (countries office) numbers. And so I did. After a few minutes I received an email from [email protected].

I followed the link and read what is stated. And I found out that I have to pay for the services needed. It can be through a bank transaction, a credit card or Western Union. I had a chat with the [email protected] and with the onlinejobconsultant(Nicole Willson) from [email protected]. Ms. Nicole Willson told me that there is a deadline of the submission for the requirements (until 28th of July) and one of those is the European Union work office numbers. In order for me to get that is to pay for it. It costs 33 euros. I told her that I still don't have money right now to pay for it and she replied that If I can't be able to meet the deadline, they will cancel my application. Then I received an email again from her.

RE: Important- you have been granted with a few more days to grab this opportunity!

Dear <removed>,

Thank you for reaching us and trusting our services!

We are truly concerned by the lack of action on your end. We considered you are a trustworthy applicant, since you proved your willingness and commitments to this application so many times! Have we been mistaken to put our trust in you – or by any chance you just need some more time to rethink the situation?

We figure you really do need this opportunity to work a legal, well paid job in Europe , since it gives you a once-in a lifetime-chance to be appreciated for your work and personal qualities. You will also be able to give your financial support to your loved ones back at home and save money in the meantime.

We managed to convince your employer to give you a few more days to complete the procedure. He agreed to give you until 29th July to finish this step and proceed with your job application.

We would like to remind you that the entire procedure consists of the following steps:

1/ prepare the required by the employer documents and send them to your employer
2/ as soon as employer receive it, he will apply for a work permit for you
3/ when he receives the Work Permission Application Form, he will send it to you along with copy of the contract and other visa support documents.
4/ you need to go to the embassy and issue your visa
5/ your departure to Ireland to start your new job.

This is the legal procedure for hiring a foreign employee here in EU.

Presently you are at Step 1 of the process, what you need to do in order for you to grab this job opportunity is to prepare the documents, which your employer needs from you. We would like to remind you that the completed application set contains these items:

1. Europass CV
2. Work Permission Application Form
3. Job Application Letter
4. European Union work office number or regional (countries office) number which is mandatory and it can be obtained only through Specialized European-based Agency, that offer this service, you cannot obtain it yourself from your country.

We strongly recommend you to contact the agency we have suggested in our previous letter since the European Union work office number or regional (countries office) number can only be obtained by European based agency (you cannot obtain it in your country). They offer high-quality services and can also assist you in the preparation of all of the requirements. Here are their contacts once again:

E-mail: [email protected]
YM: prnservice

YOUR DEADLINE CLOSING IS: 29th July.

Observation of the specified deadlines is extremely important. Once deadline is missed without notification from your side we cancel application. Our practice is no to work on applications with missed deadlines. You will no longer be on our transfer list and we will no longer be at your services.

We would like to confirm that our procedure is completely legal as it involves Work Permission Application Form. After obtaining it, employer will send it right back to you along with all other visa support documents so that you can go to the embassy in your country and get your working visa. This way you will be able to work absolutely legally in Ireland and this should assure you that the procedure is completely 100% legal.

We would like to receive feedback from you clearly stating your intensions towards this application.

Please do not hesitate to contact us in case you have any questions.

If you need to contact us you may reply this letter or contact our Recruitment Consultants online at their yahoo messenger ID: onlinejobconsultant through Real-time online chat - http://manchester-career.com/chat/connectc.html

Yours sincerely:
Technical Department

Your first instinct was right. It is indeed a scam.

There is no such thing as a "European Union work office number."
It is an invention of a well-organized group of scammers that has existed for several years, and has scammed thousands of people. They create new company names with new websites on a regular basis. They have several company names right now. They even have phony chat support, and sometimes post fake testimonials on the internet to make themselves look more real. These are the same people who operated under centrum jobs and jobs777, as well as many other names. They are not real employers or recruiters, just thieves looking to take advantage of you.

As the scam progresses, they will always send you to a fake document preparation agency or fake translation company (it's really themselves), where they will charge you a fee for "documents" that you need for your job. In the end, you will be out the money but will have no usable documents and no job (because there never was a job in the first place.)

You need to refer to to the UK Border Agency website to see what is needed to obtain a work permit and visa. You also need to check who can come to UK and work from abroad and you will find the opportunities are limited. Scammers and liars will tell you anything Any one who asks for money transfer with Western Union or Moneygram with regard to employment and visa appications is a scammer.

I am sorry you got scammed our of some money from these people.

Stop communication with them. Anything they tell you will be a lie to get more money out of you.

If you have further questions please ask them.
