I also got the same contract letter. Please if anyone knows about it then plz reply.
I have also received this letter 2 days ago offering me a sales manager position. Cooper Frost is not listed as a lawyer with Danielle Cohen Solicitors. D.H.C is a legitimate legal firm. I have emailed Danielle Cohen to verify who is Cooper Frost - still waiting for a reply.
With the world-wide recession, there are many people hoping to get good paying jobs. If this is an elaborate scam, then many people will will be duped into paying for a job that does not exist.
I hope the law catches up with these scoundrels.
The letters do sound very convincing.

I also received same offer letter / contract for 3 yrs. How and why is anyone supposed to get UK police clearancwe when the person has never gone there earlier?? I had smelled a scam right from the first email and now all the comments and them asking the 'would be' employee to pay for the ACRO - this is definitely a scam and these buggers should be punished.
I have also got the same stuff from this so called emporio armani .I have got an offer letter on the letterate of emporio armani with a seal stamp.I had a word with danielle cohen in londen she told me its all fake and told me to be carefull of these Scoundrels.
Dear all
I have searched a lot about "Emporio Armani" in google and found much and to tell you the truth is...
1. its a fake offer letter if you do a little bit research you can get to know that no point of time no employer ask for money for anything plus never a Big Org final their employee like this way.
2. If you seen the sign of the concern person its don't look a sign why because once you zoom in the pd[censored] can get to find the crack in his sign itself and even in his name itself .
3.If you type for the group md name in google you will not get any thing as "what i belive is this is combination of two person so, person don't a organic man. "
4.If you ask to Naukri or Monster or even search for their name you will not get any listing? then how did they get you?
5.Never belive on this and please never share any your bank data with them and don't send any single money to them.
Thanks & Regards

Dear all,
I also got the same offer letter from Owen Reeves asking me to sign the contract and send it back to them and a copy to their "legal" solicitor. And I did send the signed copy to both of them. In reply I got a mail from barrister Cooper Frost wherin he stated that the charges for obtaining the ACRO police certificate is 650 pounds
Transport and fare of solicitor=80 pounds
Application fees (premium service)=500 pounds
courier fees=70 pounds
Total= 650 pounds
And the attached form was version May '09.
When I cross-checked and did some research, latest version of the form i.e. September '09 was also available on the net and the charges for procuring police certificate is only 70 pounds (premium service). But that is for UK residents. I am not sure if the same form can be used for non-UK residents. It is also doubtful that the non-UK residents can avail the ACRO police certificate, provided they have stayed in the UK in the (recent) past. Moreover, a passport size photograph is also required to be sent which will be signed by the person known to us in the UK (according to http://www.acpo.police.uk/Certificates%5CApplication%20form%20pdf.pdf). But in the form that I received as a pdf attchment, there is no mention of photo. One more noteworthy point is in the form (link), there is nothing called "version" of the form.
For details, http://www.emigrate2.co.uk/Visas_and_Advice_Detail-145.htm can also be checked.
These charges may include the charges of the law firm, services that the lawyer will provide, provided the barrister is associated with the Danielle Cohen Solicitors.
I am still thinking as to what can be done about this...
If any of you have some more details, kindly do share with all o[censored]s.
Thanks.

Dear Mr.Reeves,
Thank you very much for the reply.
In your reply, you have not cleard point nos. - 1, 2, 6. from my trailing mail.
I still have few doubts which I would like you to clear for me.
1. When I am an Indian Citizen, why do you i want the UK police clearance certificate.
2. How should I believe that the offer letter is authentic
3. If we approach the British Embassy in Mumbai, India, will we get all the formality details.
4. In your reply, you have not mentioned the actual amount incurred as expenses for all the formalities to be done from my end and where to deposit the money.
5. I would like to know my salary break up which is not been mentioned in your reply.
Kindly send us the landline number of your organisation and your direct no. so that I can speak to you directly as the nos. in the Contrcat Agreement mentioned are all mobile nos. and to contact on mobile nos. from India is an expensive affair.
Thanks & Regards,
Ashish Takle

I also got the same contract letter. Please if anyone knows about it then plz reply.
hi friends,
I have also received the same letter from Mr.Owen reeves as a Brand Manager to the organisation. Even Mr.Cooper Frost the Barrister send me a certificate for agreement which was supposed to be collected from UK.The total cost for the agreement certificate is 750pounds.If they are fake and I beleive they are, we must join hands to teach them a lesson such that they wont dare to cheat us.
Still its a matter of concern that why Armani group is not taking any action to these buggers?
Friends come together and do something to teach them lesson.
