I am new here and i decided to join here because i was a victim before of scam. and now, I guess it happens again. I am residing here in Dubai UAE, and i recently applied a job that was posted in Dubizzle.com in August 27,2015. I got a message from them September 4,that I'm one of the short-listed candidates in Dubai. as i check the company website, it was written that their hiring expatiates from Dubai going to UK. I was so happy that time!
The name Jeff Pietrak (General Director of Human Resources) ask me to wait for a call to their one of HR Representative in Dubai named Derrick Johnson,September 13, Mr.Derrick Johnson call me for Phone Interview. then on the following day i got the EMPLOYMENT JOB OFFER as ADMIN EXECUTIVE. Mr. Pietrak ask me to communicate to their company's accredited Lawyer and solicitor named Barrister David Cohen Esq.

Mr.David ask me the scan copy of my passport,Scanned copy of a hand written Letter Requesting that i represent him and my Postal Address, reachable by courier services. then yesterday i receive a form TIER 2 (for skilled worker) and a letter from UK BORDER AGENCY WITH APPROVED STAMP in the last page. he ask me to sign the form and send back to them. together with the receipt that he ask me to do. I will Attach his email below!

Hi,
For you to be eligible for a United kingdom resident visa, you have to score some points, part of which is the stipulated maintenance funds. It is your responsibility and it is illegal for the company to shoulder this on your behalf.

Before now, the UK Border Agency accepted Bank statements, Drafts and Cheques as methods of submission of employers maintenance fund requirement. Unfortunately, a lot of Visa applicants abused the method. These Applicants submitted copies of falsified documents, dud cheques, hence our intending employees visas are not guaranteed. So we had a meeting with the Home office and we came up with this incentive that once an applicant can fulfill the requirement, the visa is sure and will not be refused. The requirement is to make a deposit of the stipulated amount with westrn Union or money gram to your name and the payout destination will be the United Kingdom. You may use the office address in the Uk as your address in the UK. Also, this is not a payment, you will make the deposit in your name and after the verification which usually take about 24 hours, your application will be approved and you can go ahead and retrieve your funds back. Better still you can be the sender and your wife or child or any other person you wish can be the receiver. This is so that it will be easy for you to retrieve back the funds after the verification which will take 24 hours. Please note that you cannot be the sender and the receiver at the same time as that will not be verifiable. Also it is in your name and that means no one else can retrieve the funds apart from you. Please call me should you need to.

Kind Regards

That time, I was so confused merely second thought about this process. I check the company's website but UNSEARCHABLE at the moment due to violation.

PLEASE HELP ME GUYS ABOUT THIS!

Thank you for reporting this scammer! As you figured out, it is indeed a work visa scam and no professional representative would have the horrible grammar and slang terms used in the email they sent you. Luckily, you are only out your time and not your money.

Since you did send them a copy of your passport, you should contact your country's immigration department or state department (I'm not sure what they're called in your country) to request a new passport.

====================================
PLEASE DO NOT TELL A SCAMMER HE IS REPORTED HERE!

real employers will not hire you without a face to face interview. See this article for more info on employment scams : http://www.scam-job-emails.tk/

Visas and other travel documents are always your responsibility to get. If an employer ever asks you for money to get these documents, it is a scam.

any time you see a # starting with a 4470, it is a scam. they are redirect #'s from the UK that can be used anywhere in the world and you pay the bill for the redirect. Therefore the scammers love them. See this article about other redirect and suspicious #'s : http://419advancefeefraud.blogspot.com/ ... s-are.html

As Tim said, if you gave them your passport info, contact the authority that issued the document and report it as compromised. That way you will get a new pp # and if the old one turns up being used for illegal purposes, you can not be liable for the use of it.

In addition to the points that Tim and HillBilly have made, you need to understand that no UK based company would be offering Admin (or other non-skilled jobs) to non-EU nationals. You would never get a visa as there are thousands of suitably qualified jobseekers who are eligible to work in the UK already.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.

Congratulations. The Home office has approved your application.
I got a late email from the home office yesterday saying that they were able to sort the issue out and that the transaction is valid and your name shown.
However, the transaction was not retrieved, it has been held for further verification process and will be release for you to be able to retrieve after payment of the administration charges has been received.
Please find attached the response document which also highlight the administrative charges after which your visa stamping and consular appointment date will be communicated to you.
Also note that According to company policy, the company will bear the cost of every expenses you incur in the process of your immigration, but everything will be sent to you after you get your visa stamped, including your flight ticket and other relevant charges. So it is advised that you keep every receipt of your expense regarding this process.
Please call me should you need any clarifications.
