Hi. I need your expertise on this.

I'd been offered a job by "Greens Horticulture Ltd".
All correspondence had been sent from [email protected] which is supposed to be in the U.K. but I'm wondering why they're using the logo found in http://www.coolgreenhorticulture.com.au/ which is in Australia. They sent me a UK VISA application from [email protected]

I was also offered a job by [email protected] at http://www.seapetg.page.tl ([email protected], tel: +447031876791)

Please help!

Best,

Hello ispy, and welcome to ScamWarners. Yes, they are both scams.

The UK Home Office Border Agency email address is also fake and part of the fake Greens Horticulture scam. You can see the genuine UK Border Agency email addresses here:

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/about ... ctcentres/

Please notice that the genuine UK Border Agency email addresses end with @ukba.gsi.gov.uk - and with no words or abbreviations after that.

@consultant.com and @technologist.com are free webmail addresses offered by mail.com - mail.com addresses are very much used by scammers, but extremely unlikely to ever be used by a genuine company. Also, the telephone number beginning +4470 is not a normal UK telephone number; it is a 'redirect' number, redirecting all calls to a mobile phone almost anywhere in the world. Again, they are very much used by scammers. You can read more about +4470 (sometimes written as +44 070) numbers here:
