This guy by the name of Victor Max responded to my wayn profile....asking me to be his friend and future soulmate. Plse see his profile http://www.wayn.com/profiles/VictorMax

In his message to me...he said that he is the Asst General Manager of Era Global Group. He asked me to check out the URL: http://www.eragg.com
Looking at the website...I could sense that it is a fake website.

Plse check if it is real or fake?

Thank you.

Yes, it is a fake website.

The contact numbers are +44 70 numbers, which are not normal UK telephone/fax numbers, but redirect numbers, which redirect all calls to almost anywhere in the world. They are very much used by West African scammers.

There are many errors on the website, which show a complete lack of knowledge of the UK, and UK law.

The whois information about the website tells us:

Registrant:

The address in the contact details

3476 Warten Road Rams Kate, Kent United Kingdom CT118J


Anyone notice the mistake ? :=)

It's along way short of the only one, but indicative of the IQ of the person making the site.

Non-EU citizens should go here to find out about obtaining a visa to work as an au pair in the UK

Whenever payment is requested by Western Union you're dealing with a scammer
