The DER Certifications will have to embrace the registration and approval of your relevant information with the designated local agencies (Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Commerce and industry respectively with DER inclusive).

Hi,
I have received such an email today, but I am afraid I gave them my real name, my address and my cell phone. It is not until today I thought anything about it because I found it on a domestic job vacancies web site. But today, I have received a job offer from them and started thinking it cannot be possible and cross referenced phone numbers on web site and email addresses.
I have sent email to May Fair Hotel, so they have it - but I am wondering, am I in some kind of trouble now I gave them my personal information?

Thank you for your response, I feel a bit ashamed and scared at the same time....
Dragana

Your name, address, and phone number are not enough information for them to do anything bad with. If you give them your bank account number, then start worrying.

All the phone numbers beginning 704, 703, and 702 are fake. A number beginning 44-70x is a redirect; the phone is somewhere outside the UK, probably West Africa.

Thank you so much. I have written to hotel email address but they have automatic responses, so I hope they will see it. I guess they should know about this.
I will make sure to check next time I give out my info to a foreign company

I got the letter that I got contract offer letter from The May Fair Hotel. My name is Xxxxx
xxxxx .Did you send a letter yesterday to me with your contract letter . Please, give me your information. BEST REGARDS!!!

Welcome!

No, it is not valid. It is a scam email designed entirely to steal your money.

There are actually many things wrong with it, but I will point out a couple.

1) The phone numbers. Numbers starting with 4470 or 44070 are not real UK numbers. They are redirect numbers. Calls to these numbers can be forwarded to phones all over the world. Scammers use them if they are pretending to be in UK when they really are not. The Home Office also has a real UK phone number, not a redirect number. Any offer containing one of these phone numbers is a scam.
2) the Home office email address: It is a fake. It has no connection to the real UK home office. The UK Home Office is a government agency. Government agencies have email addresses that end in .gov The scammers have created a fake Home Office email address in order to convince you to send money.

Thank you very much for your answer!!! Have a nice day!!!

This mail adress is scam or not

careceo.com is not the domain of a hotel in England. Any hotel big enough to have all those openings at once would also have its own domain.

2000 GBP a month is out of range for some of those jobs.

It's a scam.
