Permit is issued after the verification and confirmation of your
documents by the UK HOME OFFICE (government agency here in UK with the
mandate to issue WORK PERMIT).

rather they issue visa after authorization has been gotten from the
HOME OFFICE that your WORK PERMIT has been approved.

I have attached the UK Home Office Work Permit application form.
Details of your academic qualifications and employment history should
be provided in the form. All sections in the form should be filled
except for (Section 2.9) and (Section 7),
which should be left blank. I will provide the information needed in
this section 7.
If you are coming with your Spouse, you are to print out copies of the
form for her to fill. Section 6 and 7 should be left blank.
Information of your children should be included in both forms.

Forms should be sent to me upon completion via an email attachment
with the following:
1, Details of your academic qualifications should also be made
available in Section 8.1 of the work permit application form.
2, Evidence of work experiences. This can either be your letter of
appointment or recommendation from previous employers. (if available)
.
Work permit is issued within ten days after the verification and
confirmation of your documents. Once work permit is issued, the UK
embassy in your location will invite you to the embassy, you will be
required to go with your international passport.

Other logistics issues relating to traveling and resettlement in UK

Hello RichRichJPN and welcome to Scamwarners.

Thanks for such a thorough posting, it will help other victims avoid being scammed.

Could I ask for 1 thing from you. Could you post the headers (minus your details) of the email from kuwaitgulfoil.net. This will help us to close down this fake domain.

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.

I also received the same string of emails. I didn't feel comfortable with the "too good to be true" aspect of the offer so I called the number on the email. I think the man may have been sleeping. I spoke to him long enough to realize that the offer was a scam. I am so happy that I didn't send any of my personal information. I am going to contact the British Embassy and Eagle Ford Shale to let them know what is happening on Monday. It's too bad that nothing will happen to these people.

I have asked what is my salary ... no reply
where do I live ... no reply
How do I get to work ... no reply
What are the work hours a day, a week ... no reply
What are vacations ... no reply
I said I have never lived in Kuwait ...... so why ask for a visa from me ?
What money check , how much money, do they want from me ?

Things don't add up. Has anyone else gotten a job offer from "Mahmoud Sheikh" or Mrs Jessica Walter

No legitimate company hires without an interview. Most likely, the scammer is impersonating the agency that issues visas and will collect money for the visa but not issue one.
