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

Please read carefully because this applies to every job offer you receive!No real company hires you without an in person, face to face interview. An email or telephone interview is always the sign of a scam! No real company charges any money for a job even for a visa or work permit! If they want you to pay and say they will refund the costs, you will just send money to a fake embassy official, travel agency or lawyer who is a really a scammer! Read: http://www.scam-job-emails.tk No real company uses a free email address. Read: http://www.scam-email-addresses.tk No real visa agent ever requests you wire money into any bank account or by Western Union or Money Gram. Read: http://www.never-wire-money-to-strangers.tk No real company uses a telephone number that begins with +44 70, +44 871, +44 870, +44 844, or +44 845. Those are forwarding numbers which are not in the UK. Read: http://www.scam-telephone-numbers.tk There are no exceptions! Don't let a scammers convince you otherwise! Always "Google" all telephone numbers, email addresses and websites in any job offer to see if it has already been posted as a scam!
