Scams offering fake Au Pair positions
by Chris Fuller Thu Dec 30, 2010 3:51 am
This is not a genuine au pair opportunity, it is a scam. These emails are not being sent from the UK; the IP addresses show that they are actually sent from Nigeria.

Please note: the correct email addresses of the UK Border Agency end with @ukba.gsi.gov.uk - they do NOT end with @ukba-gov-uk.com - @ukba-gov-uk.com is a free Google Apps (Gmail) address set up by the scammer.

UK Border Agency, PO Box 3468, Sheffield, S3 8WA

The UK Border Agency is responsible for securing the United Kingdom borders and controlling migration in the United Kingdom. We manage border control for the United Kingdom, enforcing immigration and customs regulations. We also consider applications for permission to enter or stay in the United Kingdom, citizenship and asylum.

Disclaimer:

The UK Home Office wishes to authoritatively inform applicants seeking for immigration status into the United Kingdom not to make any payments for processing of Work Permit, Visa and/or Expatriate Quota Approval. Approval for entry (Visa) into the United Kingdom is executed by the Nearest British Embassy or Consulate within the applicants country of residence or location after regulation and certification of the applicant by the UK Home Office as at the time of application.

The UK Home Office will exercise its full powers to perform its responsibility to regulate entry into the UK, by:

• Ensuring that the sponsor is financially capable to support the applicant entering the United Kingdom for Business or Pleasure throughout the duration of the validity of the Entry Visa.
• Ensuring that the applicant, has the minimum stipulated financial requirement to earn the needed points for Visa Approval, going by the new point-based system for immigration in 2010
• Ensuring that the applicant is eligible to Live, Work and carry out business activities in the United Kingdom legally.

The new points-based system (PBS) is the biggest shake up of the immigration system for 45 years.

Under the new system, migrants will need to pass a points- based assessment before they receive Certificate of Eligibility and permission to enter or remain in the United Kingdom. It will help British businesses recruit the skills it needs from abroad and assure the British public that only the skilled migrants will need to come to the United Kingdom. The role of employees/migrants with qualifying financial base is crucial to its success.

We would like to acknowledge receipt of application for Certificate of Eligibility (COE-UKIMG2010) Your EMPLOYER is your sponsor for your Flight Ticket, Visa and Work Permit and Temporary Immigration status.

Certificate of Eligibility would be issued to you as this is proof that you have passed the point-based assessment. We shall also provide you with a reference number and interview date with instructions to enable you receive Visa at the Nearest British Consulate or Embassy in your Country.

Apart from sponsorship from UK Based Employers, employees coming to live and work in the UK for at least 12 months are mandated to have at least a minimum of £700GBP, which is the stipulated financial requirement/applicant travel allowance that must be in possession of the applicant/employee into the UK.

You must be able to demonstrate that you have funds to support yourself and any dependents. For the main applicant this is £700 and you will need a further £533 for each dependent accompanying you.

Before the issuance of Form (COE-UKIMG2010) to your employer for issuance of Visa by Local British Consulate, you are required to show proof that the stipulated financial requirement/applicant travel allowance as indicated above is available. The UK Home Office would ensure via this means that only eligible applicants who are financially capable are allowed entry into the United Kingdom. This process is solely for proof that you have the stipulated financial requirement as per an applicant seeking to migrate into the United Kingdom despite sponsorship from your Employer and would take 24hrs for confirmation hence follow the detailed instructions for confirmation of available stipulated financial requirement below.

CONFIRMATION/PROOF OF SUFFICIENT FUNDS

This requirement must be fulfilled by anyone that can stand in as your next of kin

To meet the above requirement applicants are required to make a deposit of the stipulated financial requirement of £700GBP via Western Union International Transfer using the following format:

Senders Name: Should be your husband, brother, sister or friend or (Anyone at your discretion that can stand in as your next of kin)
Receivers Name: Must be you the primary applicant
Payout Country: United Kingdom
Payout Location: (Sheffield) for it is where our office is located)

Note: You must ensure that the senders name is the above as instructed and the receiver is you for security reasons and as the primary sponsor of your immigration into the United Kingdom.

Visit the nearest Post Office, Western Union agent or Shop close to you and inform them of your decision to make a transfer. Follow the transfer instructions above carefully. After transfer has been effected, you shall send us the receipt of the deposit as an evidence that the transfer has been made and to enable our office call Western Union solely for Verification of the deposit. This is usually carried out within 24hrs after which you shall be instructed to go and take back your money.

The following documents should be sent:

• International Passport
• Receipt of Deposit for financial requirement
• Completed Application

Note: Ensure that the receiver is you so that only you can withdraw the deposit after the verification of deposit has been carried out, as the Home Office would not be liable for loss. This is not a payment but a deposit for verification which is why it is in your name as the receiver. If you wish, you can withdraw the funds from your current location after the verification process is complete in 24hrs or when you arrive here in the United Kingdom.

The instruction above would earn you the needed points under the point-based system for the release of your (COE-UKIMG2010) to your employer with instructions on how to receive entry status/notary from the nearest British Consulate.
