The Catch lies in the words "This is in line with the United Kingdom expatriate financial statutory laws. Expatriate shall also be liable to pay 10% of salary as withholding tax to the relevant authority in United Kingdom"
As the Airline group promises to release one month salary in advance, they would ask you to remit 10% tax in a designated bank account. Once you remit, the recruiting agency who operate the fake Emirates Airline group will vanish. This is precisely the reason you would find everyone gets mail from different recruiting agency. Thus, with your payment of 10% ( in Indian Rs.1.40 lacs approx) of your hard earned or still worse, borrowed money, you get sunk. None can save us.This is similar to Nigerian scam wherein you would be lured by some cute girl whose father would have died, invariably in an air crash or riot atteck, leaving a big sum with the Bank to be claimed by the only surviving daughter who would be in a refugee camp in snegal, provided she is able to secure a "partner" who can lend his bank for transfer of "so called funds". Once you are through with every formalaity, you would be asked to remit 10% of the alleged funds in a designated Nigerian bank. Once you do, you are finished. Similar Crime was efficiently handled by Cyber Crime Chennai and rounded up two Nigerians which appeared in Times of India, Chennai edition a few months ago.

One thing every one should cautiously remember that in these hard days no fool will reward for nothing in return, except the lotteries run by some state governments in India. Only hard and genuine work will pay. Please also understand your hard earned money should not help you to earn money in such shorcut and unscrupulous way and you will be great sufferer in the long run.

All the best to my dear Indians in genuine attempts to have decent and peaceful living.and I thank for sparing your valuable time in reading the above.
May the Almighty bless us all with honesty in life and fortitude.
