Here is the site: http://nauplaza.co.uk/

Coz they are hiring a lot of jobs.. And i apply one field, now they send me an application paper
that i need to sign within 48 hours.

After the online interview they said i passed the interview, then again they send me an email.
and it says it is immigrant of UK the Email add is this.. [email protected]

I wanted to know if this is the real email add of UK IMMIGRATION nor A BOGUS!

And they ask me to pay them,. 255 pounds for VISA processing.

Unfortunately, it's a scam. The real UK immigration office has emails that end in .gov.uk

Although I am sure it is disappointing, I am glad you realized it before you sent any money.

There is at least on fake site there, created only 3 weeks ago.

I have not checked out the hotel website yet to determine whether it is a fake or whether scammers are piggybacking off a legitimate site, but either way, having all of the emails will help. Could you please post all of the emails from these scammers, including the headers? Just delete your own name and email address. This will help our site killers to get the email domain closed, and possibly the hotel too if it is fake. In addition, posting the scammer's script will help others to avoid being scammed.


UPDATE: The hotel site is a definite fake too! It is almost entirely copied from the North Austin Plaza Hotel in Austin, Texas. http://northaustinplaza.com/

nauplaza.co.uk is fake, and has been added to my 'to kill'-list. If you can provide me emails (and headers) coming from [email protected] I can close that one aswell. If you don't know how to extract the headers, let us know what provider you have and we'll be happy to explain it to you. :D

Great! Now all I need are the headers and I can start working on it. Dotti removed your addy before I saw it, so I'm going to take a guess and explain you how to retrieve headers in hotmail/yahoo/gmail. I hope it's one of those, if not let me know what you use and I'll guide you to it. I'm sorry to bug you again for this, but I need this to get it closed down :D

Hotmail and yahoo: When you are in the inbox, right-click on the mail you want the headers from (don't open it), The last option in the list that shows is view message source/show full headers (or something along those lines). Click that, and a pop-up will appear with a whole bunch of text and letters. That's what I need.

Gmail: When looking at the mail (after you've opened it) you'll see a small downward facing arrow next to 'Reply'. Click 'show original'. A popup will appear with the headers.

Please copy the whole thing and post it here (remove your own email adress), or you can PM or mail it to me.

I know it will look like a bunch of gibberish, but it actually contains valuable information for me to get it closed down.

I knew About it thats y i was searching about it and i got this websiote..where u people help others...thanks allottt..again...

just want to know is this really fake..............

any other information you have then do let me know bro....

Thanks again
#39460 by Dotti Mon Oct 18, 2010 11:26 pm
There is no question this is fake. In India, you can only make payment 3 ways--none of them involve Western Union. You also must show up in person at your local agency.

Another dead giveaway is the 44-70 number. Those numbers are redirect phone numbers--the calls do not actually go to UK--instead they are forwarded to phones all over the world, including cellphones in many African countries. No legitimate UK business has a 44-70 number, but scammers use them all the time when they are pretending to be in UK.


For any UK job offers you receive, if you see any of the following, there is no doubt they are scams:
-Phone number starts with 44-70 or 44-87
-employer sends you to an agency or consultant, etc. for your visa
-any mention of western union or moneygram to pay anything
-any email supposedly from the UK border agency that does not come from a gov.uk address

Please note that others may be scams too, but if you see one of these signs you already know it is a scam.

I'd like to get some copies of the mails you have received myself gauravbabbar10, so I'll get in touch with the scammer as if I'm looking for work in the UK.

Whenever bank accounts are mentioned, it's possible to do something.

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
