All Hotel job offers to persons in countries such as India are fake. No real hotel is going to be able to get a visa for an unskilled worker in a faraway country to come to Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia or the United States! There are plenty of workers already in those countries for those jobs and you cannot get a visa to do unskilled labor.

Please read carefully because this applies to every job offer you receive! 99% of email job offers are scams! When asking if a job offer is fake, include the entire email you received! No real company hires you without an in person, face to face interview. An email, online or telephone interview is always a scam! No real company ever charges any money for a job for any reason including housing, couriers, insurance, visas or work permits! 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, government or visa agent ever uses a free or public email address (yahoo.com gmail.com hotmail.com, aol.com, admin.in.th, etc.) Email addresses like diplomats.com, counsellor.com, consultant.com, lawyer.com etc. are also free email addresses. Read: http://www.scam-email-addresses.tk No real company, government, lawyer, travel agent or visa agent ever requests money via wire to a bank account or by Western Union or MoneyGram. 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 If the company does not have a website or the website does not work, it is a scam! Do not assume a website is legit! Read http://www.scamwebsites.tk There are no exceptions! Don't let a scammers convince you otherwise! A scammer is only as smart as his victim is naive! If something sounds too good to be true, it is a scam! Publicity defeats scammers. Post the scam emails you receive and warn your friends! Always "Google" all telephone numbers, email addresses and websites in any job offer to see if it has already been posted as a scam!

I apologize as I am new to this awesome site. I am wondering if this is as fake as it seems...

Your average pay can rise up to $6000-$8000 per month,just by working two to three hours a day.The salary is paid every 20 operating days.

It's neither multi-level marketing nor a sales opening, and doesn’t require entrance fees to begin.

Looking forward to hearing from you, HR Department

The hotel job scammer has been writing too many scam scripts pretending to be in England and thinks he can pretend to be in the USA just by changing a couple of things. Any time you are told to contact a particular lawyer or travel agent in the country you're going to for a visa or work permit, it is a scam. Alexander Brandon's phone number is in North Carolina; the US consulate to India is not in North Carolina.

ETA: I looked at the number again. It begins +919 which is in India. +1919 is in North Carolina. He's still fake; real lawyers and consuls don't use free email addresses like @usa.com for business.

The work-at-home job is also a scam, probably money laundering. A real company would tell you what you'll be doing (e.g. computer programming).

Thank you for your time and response.

A quick search leads me to an old ad here that uses the same very distinct line about MLM and fees: http://meiwaku794.blog115.fc2.com/blog-category-1632.html

That ad is more detailed, and it is quite clear what is--a package mule, whose job is to receive and forward packages bought with stolen credit cards and/or bank accounts.
This "job" is likely to get you arrested, and in the end you won't see a dime. After they have used you and left you holding the bag, the scammers will simply disappear.
