Company Representative scams, Payment Processing scams and other Employment scams.

Hello,
I've been on a transaction with the Recruiting Manager of the CoWorth Park Hotel a couple of weeks already and send them some informations about me. He said that the company already accepted me to be a receptionist and will be paid £3000 monthly. The processing fee for my legal documents is roughly £1400 and he said that I shall pay for the £400 and the rest will be of the hotel. He has been using the email address [email protected]... He sent me a Contract Letter with the header Birmingham Civil Justice Centre signed by certain Mrs. Sarah Dickson as Chief Justice of the Birmingham Centre. I asked him before if this is legal and he assured me of a safe transaction. Everything is settled except my payment because I want to be sure for the last time. Please help me identify if this is real or just a scam...Thank you so much.

Thank you for your time and giving a comment on my post. That's the only email address he used, nothing more. The man is named in his messages as Billy Spencer. He told me to send the payment through Money Gram Money Transfer under the name John Robinson whom he said as their Chief Accountant. I haven't send the money yet because I still want to be sure.

Do not send money, it is all a lie, a trick to steal from you.

The correct phone number is:

Coworth Park, Blacknest Rd., Ascot, Berkshire SL5 7SE
+44 1344 876 600

Numbers that begin +44 70 are an international cell phone call forwarding service.
You can only call the scammer on that phone number.

No, no, no jollyjoy! As mumbles has correctly stated, do not send any money. It is simply a scam artist trying to trick you. The exact same phone number +447024094839 has previously been used in a nanny type scam dated from late February of Twenty Ten. It then begs the question how do two individuals have the same phone number? That in itself raises too many questions that need answering!http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=13567 is a previous article and better describes these redirect 4470 phone numbers. They literally are scam codes. Please read that post.
When a target rings (what they believe to be a legitimate number) a 4470 scammers number, the phone carrier transfers the call to the real scammers phone number which is hidden from view.

He even called yesterday afternoon and asked how soon can I send the money. That gives us a hint why only that time that he called since the transaction. Thank you guys for your time, I will not reply to his messages anymore.

It is not legally possible to pay money to a company by Moneygram or Western Union, and companies do not use those payment services because they are only for use by private individuals. Government bodies don't use them for the same reason. There is nothing wrong with these payment services but they are only for use if you want to pay money to a private individual you know. The person contacting you is a thief who just wants to put your money in his pocket.

The scammer has many things wrong in his offer. Berkshire does not fall under the administrative jurisdiction of Birmingham and the salary he talks about for a hotel receptionist is ridiculously large. There isn't a shortage of labour in the UK and if they offered the job locally for that salary they'd get hundreds of people applying.

CAR ADVERTS - If a car seller mentions escrow - he's scamming you Never ever for any reason pay anything until you have seen and inspected the vehicle
