EMIRATES AIRLINES is a reputable airline - 'EMIRATES AIRLINE UNITED KINGDOM' does not exist as a Compnay and 'Emirates Travel(s) Agency' is based in DUBAI, UAE (with no offices in London!).

This is the fake 'Contract' (on stolen letterhead) - the English grammar is appalling, the use of "GBPounds" etc...even the signature makes the whole thing laughable - but it still could fool a non-English speaker:

hi i have also received the same type of mail for an appointment. i want to confirm weather it is true or false company hiring without any interview scheduled and directly giving appointment. i think this is the business of just giving the visa and collecting the processing fee. also that mail through this offer is sent is not in of (emirates) to the company profile as [email protected] is something fake.
Pl. suggest.

Hi Sandy Western

Could you please post the email you received with your own details removed and we cab give you more accurate answers.

In the meantime, do not send anything to these people.

From past experience, if is makes you suspicious, there is normally good reason
