I could understand that because they offer 1500 pound and 500 every month like poket money. Too much beautiful, it's like a normal job

Hello everybody, this is my first post but I decided to register because I received the same email from 'Mr Yuliya Mischenko'. It seems that the scammer needs a lot of money... Unfortunately I signed the 'contract letter', now the scammer knows a little bit about me (he told me to contact the UK Home Officer and I sent the application for a document to [email protected]). Of course the 'official' advice was to send 800GBP as the deposit. Then I realized that address should include 'gov' and I visited the UK Home Office website... I have already send the email to the Home Office with the question what should I do now. But I am afraid that the scammers will want to do something more.. Please help me because now I feel really stressed... And be careful, I wasn't.

Of course the 'official' advice was to send 800GBP as the deposit. Then I realized that address should include 'gov' and I visited the UK Home Office website... I have already send the emails to polish embassy in London (I'm from Poland and wanted to wark as an au pair) and to the Home Office with the question what should I do now. But I am afraid that the scammers will want to do something more or the documents signed by me are valid. Please help me because now I feel really stressed... And be careful, I wasn't.

I'm so sorry for you I don't know if you can do something now... maybe it's too late. Just now, I've sent an email to them, not in a kind way If you discover them, I think they don't do something more, they don't take the risk.

The scammers are using fake names and offering a job that does not exist. That means that the documents are meaningless, because they are based on nothing but lies.

You have not signed any valid documents, and there is nothing that can happen as a result of you signing.

Thank you very much for the answers. I won't make this mistake again. I wait for the response from embassy and Home Office but now I also think that it's invalid. I wonder if anybody could do anything with the scammers like this.

Scammers do not use their real information, so catching them to do something with them is nearly impossible. Also Law Enforcement has to set priorities because of limited resources, so they don't often go after scammers. There is also the international side of scamming so any investigations involves at least two different jurisdictions with different laws and customs.

Sadly, this is part of the way scammers get away their horrible deeds. We expose scammers and warn people about their actions. That you for being part of what we do!

Have you noticed that the bogus email address from the UK Office ends with @london.com ? I think so because on the site if you go to this page:
http://www.london.com/admin/contact-us.aspx

You'll see this message:

Mr. Yuliya Mishchenko
(For The Family)

Based on my experience ... yes it's scam. I think too much money.

The scammer has send me some pdf documents from this address: : [email protected] hidden as UK Home Government <[email protected]>

If you receve this kind of email please forward the email to to [email protected] asking to report to a web police department.

-----------------------------
* Customers who wish to report abuse about harassment, impersonation, child exploitation, child pornography etc, received from a Hotmail account should send their complaint to [email protected] with all the pertaining information.

* If you are being threatened please call your local law enforcement.

* If you wish to report abuse against a non Windows Live Hotmail account, please send the complaint to [email protected] , where xxxxxx.com is the text that appears after the "@" symbol in the sender's e-mail address. For example, if the unwanted email came from [email protected] then report the email message to [email protected]. You can also use the site http://abuse.net to identify the correct abuse reporting address.

* In addition to these ways of reporting Spam you can also click the "Report Spam," button in your email program. In fact, Hotmail has setup systems where we automatically receive these reports from the following ISPs and anti-spam providers: Yahoo, Gmail, AOL, Comcast, Roadrunner, Outblaze, SpamCop, Signal-Spam, Verizon and Nortel.

Several other ISPs have setup their "Report Spam" button to point directly to [email protected].

Admin note: Scamwarners does NOT recommend reporting free email addresses used for scams.

We do not recommend reporting hotmail or any other free email addresses for closure. Paid email addresses, custom domains and websites we definitely close, as closing these does hurt the scammers.

When you cause an email address to be closed, you do not slow the scammer down. He is prepared for that scenario. If he hasn't already opened additional email addresses (many scammers open several similar addresses from the beginning) it will take him a couple of minutes to open a new one. If he is at all experienced, he will have forwarded all promising responses to a 2nd address, so he has lost none of his victims. Your actions have cost the scammer nothing.

On the other hand, the next victim he approaches using the NEW address might be suspicious enough to google the address. But, since he just opened that address, there will be NO reports of scam, which to many victims, is enough to convince them to keep going forward.

For example let's say you reported and closed [email protected] and they closed the address.
What will the scammer do? He will open another similar address. And he will keep going with his scams. Next week, he will send out a whole new round of scam emails.
-If he continued to use [email protected], the victim who googled it would be led here, and would discover he is a scammer.
-But instead, when he emails someone from [email protected], the victim will find no evidence of scamming--and he/she will be more likely to fall victim.

I have deleted the duplicate post with the same advice.
