What is the hourly wage in Marks and Spencer?

Job offer from Marks and Spencer PLC, UK. (Fraud?)?

• had registered myself in the job portal naukri.com. A few days ago I got a job offer from Marks and Spencer PLC, UK. I had to complete an online test and submit my CV, which I did. Today they replied saying that I have been selected for the job and I need to report to work on 30th June, 2009. Since I don't have a work permit visa, they asked me to send a scanned copy of my passport to an agency called Motion Experts (Email:[email protected]… For some reason I feel that this is a scam because I never got a interview call or they did not ask for my educational and experience certificates before sending the offer letter. Moreover, I recently read in the newspaper that Marks and Spencer is cutting jobs due to recession. In such a scenario how can they hire someone from a different country, provide accommodation, air tickets for travel and a handsome salary (GBP 8450 per month !!!). Although they haven't asked for any money as of now, it is mentioned in the email that I need to pay some money as work permit visa processing fee once I complete the formalities like filling the applications, etc. Does anybody have any knowledge about such fraudulent job offers made under the name of Marks and Spencer? I have given my personal information to them in the application that I sent earlier, I am worried that it may be misused.

  I got one the other day from supposed BHP Billiton Plc. It is a scam!!! I responded to the initial email to request more info they sent one back and at the bottom they asked for all my contact info ect. RED FLAG. Do not communicate with them anymore and report this to the appropriate authorities. Do not worry if you have not gave them bank acct info. if you have go and close those accounts tomorrow the bank will issue new accounts.
