Who is Mr. Girgan Fortune? He said,all the processing regarding my entry to UK will be done in the UK itself?
-
I applied as an aupair in the UK through www.findaupair.com.last year. I was so upset because someone e-mailed me with the name Roy Green only to find out that this person is a scam. And I never received any e-mail again until last week. A name Mr. Girgan Fortune with the address Riverbank House, 2 Swan Lane, London, United Kingdom, EC4R 3BF and tel.# +44 (0) 70359 62400. He e-mailed me stating that he saw my profile in www.findaupair.com and he is interested to get me. He sent me an e-mail regarding the processing of the visa. He wants that we will have a Sworn Affidavit of Guarantee. He sent me a soft copy of the Contract Agreement. If I will accept the offer, I will print the contract agreement, sign and scan and then send back to them via email attachment for documentation.He said that the hard copy of this Agreement Letter has been submitted to the Employment Attorney named Webb G. Wilhelm.And he said that all processing regarding my entrance will be done in the United Kingdom where my contract hard copy is submitted, and a deposit has been made ready on my behalf for my entry clearance documents and the Immigration attorney is the responsible for handling my files. According to his email, I will be required to Sworn an Affidavit of Guarantee at the British Crown Court before I can proceed with the commencement of my visa application.According to the emaila all hard copies of my processed entry paper will be couriered to UK Consular Office of my country for the stamping of my visa. I also have not to forget to send my Country of Origin. my Current Postal Address and also a Scan copy of my international passport. A contact was also sent to me where I can inquire the Sworn Affidavit of Guarantee and Visa Application. Here is the address: UK HOME OFFICE, BORDER AGENCY. tel # +44 (0) 704 579 7083, fax # +44 (0) 152 530 0443, email add: [email protected], contact person: Webb G. Wilhelm-Immigration/Employment Attorney. IS THIS TRUE? ARE THE PROCEDURES CORRECT AND LEGAL? SHOULD I CONTINUE AND PROCEED WITH THIS? PLEASE DO HELP AND ADVICE ME> Thank you...

Answer:
100% scam. There is no nanny job and NO such thing as a UK aupair visa. Any phone number that starts with +44-70 or anything similar is not based in the United Kingdom. It is from a UK based cell phone redirect service that can be answered by anyone anywhere in the world. It is a favorite service of scammers who want to pretend to be in the United Kingdom but are really half way around the world from there. The next email will be from another of the scammer's fake names and free email addresses pretending to be the "government visa official" or "travel agent" and will demand you pay, in cash, via Western Union or moneygram. Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever. Now that you have responded to a scammer, you are on his 'potential sucker' list, he will try again to separate you from your cash. He will send you more emails from his other free email addresses using another of his fake names with all kinds of stories of great jobs, lottery winnings, millions in the bank and desperate, lonely, sexy singles. He will sell your email address to all his scamming buddies who will also send you dozens of fake emails all with the exact same goal, you sending them your cash via Western Union or moneygram. You could post up the email address and the emails themselves that the scammer is using, it will help make your post more googlable for other suspicious potential victims to find when looking for information. Do you know how to check the header of a received email? If not, you could google for information. Being able to read the header to determine the geographic location an email originated from will help you weed out the most obvious scams and scammers. Then delete and block that scammer. Don't bother to tell him that you know he is a scammer, it isn't worth your effort. He has one job in life, convincing victims to send him their hard-earned cash. Whenever suspicious or just plain curious, google everything, website addresses, names used, companies mentioned, phone numbers given, all email addresses, even sentences from the emails as you might be unpleasantly surprised at what you find already posted online. You can also post/ask here and every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find before taking a chance and losing money to a scammer. 6 "Rules to follow" to avoid most fake jobs: 1) Job asks you to use your personal bank account and/or open a new one. 2) Job asks you to print/mail/cash a check or money order. 3) Job asks you to use Western Union or moneygram in any capacity. 4) Job asks you to accept packages and re-ship them on to anyone. 5) Job asks you to pay visas, travel fees via Western Union or moneygram. 6) Job asks you to sign up for a credit reporting or identity verification site. Avoiding all jobs that mention any of the above listed 'red flags' and you will miss nearly all fake jobs. Only scammers ask you to do any of the above. No. Exceptions. Ever. For any reason. If you google "fraud aupair job scam","fake nanny job Western Union scam" or something similar, you will find hundreds of posts from victims and near-victims of this type of scam. If you google "fraud visa job scam", "fake hotel job Western Union" or something similar, you will find hundreds of posts from victims and near-victims of this type of scam.

100% SCAM Visas CANNOT be processed in the UK or by anyone by yourself. A visa must be applied for in person at the British Embassy/High Commission in YOUR country as you are required to appear in person to be fingerprinted and photographed and turn in your original passport before any visa processing can begin And as GerdP says the Au Pair visa was cancelled back in November 2008 so you cannot work as an au pair in the UK unless you are either a citizen of an EU/EEA country or from a country eligible for the Youth Mobility Scheme That is NOT a Home Office phone number, it's a Nigerian scam number http://www.joewein.net/blog/2009/11/08/dial-44-70-uk-numbers-for-international-fraudsters/ And that is NOT a Home Office email address, that is a free email loved by scammers. If he really worked for the Border Agency his email would be from @ukba.gsi.gov.uk -- NOTHING else This is a scam to steal your money and identity. DO NOT reply for any reason and report this to your local police if you have sent money or personal information
