[Resolved]  Kuoni Academy Of Travel Fraud — KUONI ACADEMY OF TRAVEL FRAUD

I am a Filipina and there was this email coming from "paul and brooke williams" asking if I would take the offer to be a nanny bound for UK. They offered me a very attractive package that anyone could hardly refuse. I just gave it a try and asked how I can go about the process. I was told that there is a processing fee for the work permit and visa of £350. They referred me to contact Mr. Martin Sawyer email add - "[protected]@hush.com" to start the process. They're gonna ask you to send the money thru western union and will ask you to send them copies of your pertinent documents (passport, birth certificate etc.). Heads up guys, DONT EVER GIVE THOSE PERTINENT DOCUMENTS to any suspicious persons in the net. Hesitant and doubtful, I still gave it a try but didnt give out any infos or documents. I am trying to figure out if this is a scam. He gave me the add for the Kuoni Travel in London and tried searching it in the net but I was dismay to find out that the address do not exist with the company name. I used to work for a British company so I know the places and codes in the UK. It clearly shows that this is a scam. Guys, before risking anything, make sure that what they're saying is true. Do not even trust emails offering you a job abroad especially if that came from a suspicious and unauthorized person or company site. It pays to know first. I didn't continue and just trap them with false hope. I don't want to be a victim. Don't be fooled with what they're offering, after all, it's gonna be at your own expense. Perhaps you may want to give it a try...then count yourself as a victim of this fraudulent and scam job offers. Hope this helps.

i ahve received the mails from this id j.[protected]@yahoo.com regarding offering job as a Nanny in their house and paying the sum of GPB 35000 per annum.
and direct me to move on for the visa processing through this [protected]@yahoo.co.uk

Please reply me since they have asked me to pay 867GPB for UK visa.

i am much worried and have a doubt whther this mail id and the information delivered to me was a true or scam.

Stating themselves as a employer have received this mail as follows
Have called the agent in charge and am sure He will get back to you as soon as possible, and have also registered for your Job contract seal and it should get to me anytime from now. Hope to hear from you soon and feel free to contact me if you need any help.

Hello Manoj,



I got your mail and am so happy with what I read about you. I will like to tell you the terms and condition.



1. You will be working from Monday to Friday.

2. You will be paid salary of 3500GBP annually with some other daily allowances.

3. You will be required to relocate to London, United Kingdom

4. You will live under my roof.

5. You will shoulder your visa fee while I pay for your ticket fee.



I use to have a Nanny that came from Malaysia and she spent 2 years with us with the help of the same agency I’ll be referring you to, but she left for the united states six months ago because she is married now, her husband invited her over, so I need a replacement ASAP. It was not difficult for her to get visa to the United Kingdom, the process is an Electronic Process but mind you, she paid for the visa processing I only handled her flight ticket which was an E-ticket. All she did was to print it out and she took it to the airport and the flight was boarded. I am only willing to support you with part of the visa fees and also handle your flight ticket here as soon as the visa is approved, but you must be willing to handle the general visa processing yourself.

Don't worry about the United Kingdom, it’s a nice place to stay and I hope you will enjoy staying here with my family. The travel agency that helped my former Nanny would help you also in securing a working visa to the UK, just try and meet up with their requirements and update me.



If you are willing and ready to accept this job please email me back and you will be referred to the travel agency for the official approach and subsequent procedures of getting your travel documents and working permit. The post needs an urgent applicant and we are seeking someone who can work with us for one year or more.



James Powell (Dr)

Note: I would forward contact details of the agency to you as soon as I hear back from you and they will help you process your Working Visa to the UK because they helped my former Nanny...

Dear Mr James Powell,

Greetings from me to you and Your Family...!

Thank you for giving me the chance to pursue this great opportunity to work for you in the U.K.
For some people, taking care of children is merely a profession but as for me, it is actually more of a passion. I enjoy being around with children as I am also a kid at heart with down-to-earth personality, which I believe would render me effective in earning the trust & confidence of young kids. I am flexible in the sense that these children would find me as someone whom they can relate to, someone whom they can play and laugh with, but at the same time as a big brother or father figure that they will endear to respect.

Although at this point in my life, I have already achieved certain milestones in my professional career in the Hospitality and Housekeeping industries yet I’m ready to take on this challenge of managing your most important business of all - taking good care of your children.


Thanking you in advance for the honour of entrusting the children to my care.

I really look forward to hearing a favourable reply from your end about these matters.



Warm regards.

Manoj
