Hi hasham_ibms,

thank you for posting this. This is clearly a scam, it has all the classic hallmarks :

- Free email address - no reputable hotel company uses free email services
- Bad grammar - this is supposedly a UK company writing official correspondence !?
- Ridiculous salary - no supervisor position pays £6900 a month ( I work in hotels myself ! ), this is more than a general manager would earn ??
- Visa arrangements - getting a UK work permit is a difficult and lengthy process, and can only be done at an embassy in your own country, definitely not through submitting online forms !
- And the list goes on...

Absolutely no doubt that this is a scam - my advise would be to not reply and delete any future mails coming from this person.

Although I'm no expert hasham_ibms, it sounds like a scam to me.
Without pointing to the specifics of the employment description, the grammar is terrible. And seriously, no-one would write in such a fashion when writing to a prospective employee in my opinion.
Can you post the individuals email address or better still, the email header?
I would encourage you not to proceed any further, in regards to this particular email.

Hi hasham,

You were right to be suspicious as this has all the markings of a job scam.

The email address they are using "@london.com" is a free email address provided by mail.com. As such it is not the official email of the British immigration department. If you send the forms to them they will be recieved by the same scammer and they will likely come back and ask for processing fees.

Additionally, the language used is somewhat broken and typical of that of a scammer.

Also the salary seems too high for the position they are advertising.

Please do not send any money to this person. It would be best to just cease contact with them entirely and move on.

If you have any further questions just ask

Yes I agree it is a scam. The @london.com address has been used in many previous scams and is well documented elsewhere in the forum.
