Dear Mrs.____________ Of course we can understand your concern ( we received mails from previous scam victims ) but please be aware that our company is also taking a risk because of the high cost of the Certificate of Sponsorship which is 170 GBP. The only amount you`ll be covering in this entire process is 34 GBP which represents our guarentee that you also mean to work in the UK.

After we receive the payment in amount of 34 GBP we will continue to applying for the Certificate of Sponsorship. We repeat that we CAN NOT guarentee for the outcome of the application. We hope as well as you do, that it`s not a waste of our time and money. Previous experience shows us that we selected our applicants well, because of the 90% succes rate in obtaining a CoS.

• Answer:

  TOTAL SCAM. English is APPALLING!!!!! No UK company would employ somebody without interviewing them. No way! They would get into serious trouble with immigration hiring like this. A receptionist job is a non-skilled role and would be filled in 10 minutes by a UK/EU National. Not in a million years would any company in the UK be allowed to recruit a non UK/EU National for such a role. And IF a UK company was sponsoring you, you would not have to go through this rigmarole. Do not contact them again. Ignore all future correspondence. If you have given them your bank details, inform your bank and get your account no changed. If you have given them the extensive personal information they have asked for in this correspondence, I think you need to let the authorities know just so that nothing can come back at you in the future (identity theft). If you have paid money, you will just have to resign yourself to the fact that it is gone. No reputable company uses 07 nos (can be redirected to any tel no in the world) or a free rmail provider such as yahoo, hotmail etc. Workudos is a real company at that address, but not that tel no. Scammers often pick out rewal companies in the hope that if you google them you will be reassured that they really exist. However phone no is fake and probably no Dan Wright. Real Tel No is +44 1543444402 and proprieter is Nigel Grace. Just remember in future, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. EDIT I don't care what Goran or anyone else posts here to try to make out these people are not crooks. This is a total scam, check with the real Workudos, it's an accountant. I bet he doesn't even have a receptionist never mind going to all the trouble, expense and time of trying to recruit someone from outside the EU. Another anomaly, the job ad says a thriving IT/Telecomms company in the heart of London. This is an accoutants office in Staffordshire, approximately a 3 hour drive from central London!!
