hi john_aztec, welcome to scamwarners

i don't have any idea how much is the work permit fee its because i found out that UK Families Ltd. is a fraud. Thanks to this site. It is much better to ignore further transactions of whatever UK Families Ltd has send you. And remember, please don't send money to anyone via western union, bank acct.,etc.for it is a very common strategy of a scam.

omg! my friend just told me that he is going to uk, and showed me some documents like the one you posted just an hour ago. i ask him about the medical and interview but he said its just a questionaire like interview.so mean he really ddnt know the person he is talking with. i really suspected that it might be a scam or something because he dont meet the employer in person which is they only had conversation in chat only and emails,then he printed all the documents the employer sent to him.im kinda worried because the thing is he already paid 1000pounds for the medical and some other requirements through western union.its just last january 5 the uk families ltd contacted him.and now he told me he is waiting the embassy to call him for the visa.
i think this just posted yesterday so even if he googled he wont know that it is a scam.

thanks for posting it really helped!

hello cass018. welcome to scamwarners
I received an email from the Embassy with regards on the employment policy in UK. Let me share you some of its contents.


......................
Please be reminded that all nationals who wish to travel to the UK for any reason should know that all visa fees are paid in their respective countries, not in the UK. All UK Visa applications for that citizens are lodged at the local Visa Facilitation Centre. If your prospective employer asks you to send money overseas for visa processing or work permit, please exercise caution as this is a possible indicator or scam.
---------------------

I hope this will be a great help to your friend.

Welcome Risa,

Scammers use names of real companies all the time, and a company name may not be listed if the scammer has only recently started using it. If you post the emails you received, we can help you to determine whether it is legitimate or a scam.

The English is atrocious. There is no way that was written by a UK company.

In addition, Companies House shows no listing for a Stars Petroleum, and the only web references I can find are a large number of recent job postings specifically targeting Philippines and Singapore, typical targets for job scams.

Scam.

Once again the language is clearly African. And to clarify what I said above, all UK companies are listed with companies house--and there is no listing for Stars Petroleum. This means that the company does not exist, so any offer is 100% fake.

In addition, the email address he gave you for the "home office" is a free email address, just like yahoo or gmail addresses. It has absolutely no connection to the real home office.

There is absolutely no doubt about it. This is a scammer.
