Hello clariss_1223 and welcome to ScamWarners.

There is a UK registered company called "UK Families Ltd", but it is a dormant (i.e. non-trading) company, so it is very likely that the person you have received an email from is a scammer.

In order for us to tell for definite, could you post the email address of the person who wrote to you and also the email that he sent.

I was googling for UK Families Ltd. and was directed to your site. I applied to this company last week and what you post in your response to clariss_1223 are the same content that i get from this company/agency. Apparently, I already submitted my resume and answer the interview questionnaire that they sent to me. Also, this morning I received an email from them that I am one of their succesful applicant. But, upon hearing from you that this is a spam, i was confused. What should I do? What will be the consequences for my actions? is it possibe delete my resume (data) that's already with them. Is it possible?

Sorry, I was being careless in sending my info's to them.

I hope you can help me.

Welcome to ScamWarners yani, you are not in trouble for communicating with them. I am sorry, there is no way to retrieve the information you have sent to them. It is unlikely there is information which they can do much to you. They could harass you a little, but you need to ignore them.

They may send you an envelope or package with checks they want you to put into your bank account, then send cash to them by Western Union or some other online transfer service. Do NOT do that. The checks are forgeries and WILL be discovered and you will be held accountable for passing a forged document as good.

Definitely stop communicating with them. Ignore any contact they may try to make with you.

If they send anything to you, either destroy it, deface it or turn everything you receive over to the police with the emails you have received.

Thank you so much bubbles. It's such a big help.
Next time, i'll scrutinize every details.

Thank you, thank you.
