i replied to them and they sent me an appointment letter, which was SOOO obvious that they're fake. he said he's a doctor and she's a teacher but the header of the letter was WOODFORD ENGINEERING CONSULTANCY LTD. UK and the lawyer's signature reads D. Morgan but the "lawyer's" name's Robert Miller! LOL...i sent an email of inquiry to the "agency" too and they sent me some pdf application forms...i copy pasted the complete address and pasted it on the browser and VOILA! it directed me to your site and although i knew that my "prospective employers" are fake i'm still shocked to find out that they'd been doing this for sometime. aiyaaa...! your site helped me CONFIRMED what i already knew...THANKS
