Au Pair Scam:Janson Moore: [email protected]

Janson and Sarah Moore are not a genuine host family with an au pair position to offer; it is a scam.

The email address given for the UK Home Office Border Agency is also fake. A genuine UK Border Agency email address will end with @ukba.gsi.gov.uk (and with no words or abbreviations after that). You can see their genuine contact email addresses and genuine phone numbers here:

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.

the needed points for Visa Approval, going by the new point-based system for
immigration in 2011
- 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 Elligibility 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-
UKIMG2011) Janson and Sarah Moore is your sponsor for your Flight Ticket, Visa, Work
Permit and Temporary Immigration status.

assessment. We shall also provide you with a reference number and interview date with instructions
to enable you receive Visa Stamping at the Nearest British Consulate or Embassy in your country or
current location.
