Please help, need opinion frm u guys... Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Can anyone help us please?
Last week, me and a colleague of mine, try to apply from this job site. Fortunately, she was the first one to received an email from the "supposed-to-be" agency, redirected from this so-called company which will hire her as office assistant to UK.
She was able to send some answered online interviews, employment form and contract signed. Then here came the Appointment letter and a attached UK board agency email add which i guessed is not the real email add.

[email protected]

could somebody tell us if its scammer or not? thanks..

Hi Innocently,

Yes it is a scam. Here is the WhoIs information for the domain ukvisas-ukba.org.uk

This WHOIS information is provided for free by Nominet UK the central registry

register. Access may be withdrawn or restricted at any time.

Could you post up the emails that your colleague has received so that we can get this domain closed down.

Your guess is correct.
This is a typical employment scam in which the victim is promised a (nonexistent) job, and sent to a bogus agency address, where he/she will be asked for various "fees" to get a visa, etc.

The address is not associated with the real uk border agency. If you could post an email you or your friends received from that address, with headers (remove your own email address), it will help our site killers in their efforts to get the domain killed.

Please cut off all contact with these scammers. Do not, under any circumstances, send any money.

Thank you alanjones and dotti.
At last we were enlightened, and would not want also an opportunity to pass us.
Yes, As I was searching for answers, I came across this site. Good work.
As for the scammers , they are upgrading and reformatting their modus.
I wasnt able to find same letters here.

Hi Guys,

Even i received the same mails, there is no difference between mails received by you & me.

1 :- One thing i have noticed that is, if you submit your queries they will never answer. They will just send diff-diff mails.

2 :- If you do Google search for address which is mentioned in "Appointment Letter" (Aasperon Pte Limited -Totterdown Bridge Trading Estate, Albert Road, London BS2 0XH, United Kingdom) you will not find any Aasperon offices located in London-Uk.

Please confirm what salary they have offered you. I received £5000 per month.

Please post on salary part as well. If we received same offer then consider this as Scam Mail.

Regards,
Sam Thaku

Details received from 'visa agency'



@sameersthakur - It is a scam no question about it. The only way that you can apply for a visa to the UK is in person at the embassy/consulate in your country.

@sameersthakur .... actually the quoted salary is £5800 per month.
Free accomodations, meal& entertainment in total to £1200 per month. Too good to be true, isnt it? googled the salary rate for Bristol as office assistant would only be 1200 to 1600/mo.

Anyway, they are already in some jobsites with agencies posted around the world. Googled it.

Hope no one will fall victim of this scammer.

Thanks Guys,

Even yesterday i have received Visa Application Form.

I have spammed that id's
