I am asking about email add of UK BORDER agency is [email protected]

  • is this scam?I receive an offer from MR.Harrison Morgan that i will be the nanny/caregiver of his two children and he will shoulder all the payments of my coming,then he refer me to this border agent who will give the procurement of my documents together the payment of my working permit worth 400pounds and to be sent in western union together the receipt and my scanned passport ID.

  • Answer:

    100% scam. There is no nanny job and NO such thing as a UK aupair visa. There is only a scammer trying to steal your hard-earned money. 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 "border 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.

SCAM for so many reasons 1 - that is NOT the UK Border Agency email address. If the email is NOT from @ukba.gsi.gov.uk you are NOT dealing with anyone at the Border Agency. You are dealing with a Nigerian scammer 2 - there is NO more visa for nannies to the UK. That visa was cancelled back in November 2008. If you are not an EU citizen, nobody can offer you a nanny job and nobody can sponsor you 3 - The British government NEVER accepts Western Union payments for any reason 4 - There is no UK work permit that costs £400 5 - You NEVER scan or send your passport to anyone. The ONLY way to apply for a visa to the UK is IN PERSON at the British Embassy in YOUR country. You must appear in person to be fingerprinted, photographed and turn in your original passport in order for the visa to be processed This is a scam to steal your money and identity. Report this to your local police as well as the site where the job was posted If you really think you can find a nanny job online without going through a POEA licensed agency, you are going to end up losing all of your money or find yourself trafficked into the sex trade. Almost all young Oriental women working in illegal brothels in Europe were lured with fake nanny/Housekeeper jobs The ONLY way a Pinoy can get a job overseas is if it is through a POEA licensed agency http://www.poea.gov.ph/cgi-bin/aglist.asp?mode=all If you did not get the job offer through one of these agencies, there is NO way you can work overseas
