Subject: To the kind of attention of COMPUTER OPERATOR - Your New Employment in the European Union

Greetings from your Recruitment Agency!

We were glad to find out that your entire application package is prepared and ready to be sent. Upon receipt, please, print them on quality paper put them in an envelope and post them over to the employer. We recommend you to send them by a courier company.

The best option is if you have relatives who live in the European Union to send your application package to them. It always makes excellent impression to the employer if the applicant's documents arrive through mail or courier from an address in the European Union. According to us this somehow makes up for the fact that the applicant is a foreigner. Our experience indicates that most employers accept such applicants as in a way "internal" people, i.e. foreigners who are adapted and accustomed to.

Otherwise, we strongly advise you to contact the documents preparation company again and ask them to arrange a courier for you. Their courier takes just 1 day to deliver the documents and it is much safer than sending it from anywhere else.

For further information you may contact them through:

E-MAIL: paper4eu@gmail.com

YAHOO-MESSENGER: dox2eu

We shall contact the company/employer in a few days to make sure that your application is already there and to hear about their initial statement. We will keep you informed.

We would like to emphasize that we are also interested in the successful completion of your application. In this regard, we are doing our best to make your job transfer successful.

Of course, at this stage of your application process, the most important thing is to have the employers' final confirmation upon receipt of your application package and his willingness to take the necessary steps to apply for a work permit for you and then for a visa, which allows you to legally stay and work in the country.

In this case we will be of any help to you in each one of the necessary steps, which should be taken - from visa obtaining in the Embassy to the very departure for the country and your meeting there upon arrival.

Of course, we should not disregard the possibility of a negative direction of your present application. It is reasonable to bear that in mind - this option is possible, though we believe your case is not of such kind.

In this relation, we can offer you some other alternatives for obtaining legal rights to live and work in a member state of the European Union. Of course, at this stage, it is too early to consider alternatives other than the current one. Now we have the opportunity (very probable indeed) to have the employer himself make this transfer, which is relatively easy to be done, so that you can start working in his/her company.

As we have already said, this is the best possible way in our case, but even if there is a negative result, we should not be discouraged - there are multiple other real opportunities for legal job start abroad. In both cases we will be there and you can rely on our efficient help

Well, we wish you good luck in your future initiative and hope for good news shortly! After all, we have complied with all initial requirements, so now we are within our rights to hope for a successful end.

Yours faithfully,

Sandra Robinson

    100% scam.

    There is no job, no courier company and no legit company called that name.

    Any phone number that starts with +44-70 or anything similar is not based in the United Kingdom. It is from a UK based cell phone redirect service that can be answered by anyone anywhere in the world. It is a favorite service of scammers who want to pretend to be in the United Kingdom but are really half way around the world from there.

    The next email was from another of the scammer's fake names and free email addresses pretending to be the "government visa official" or "courier agent" and has demanded you pay, in cash, via Western Union or moneygram.

    Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever.

    Now that you have responded to a scammer, you are on his 'potential sucker' list, he will try again to separate you from your cash. He will send you more emails from his other free email addresses using another of his fake names with all kinds of stories of great jobs, lottery winnings, millions in the bank and desperate, lonely, sexy singles. He will sell your email address to all his scamming buddies who will also send you dozens of fake emails all with the exact same goal, you sending them your cash via Western Union or moneygram.

    Whenever suspicious or just plain curious, google everything, website addresses, names used, companies mentioned, phone numbers given, all email addresses, even sentences from the emails as you might be unpleasantly surprised at what you find already posted online. You can also post/ask here and every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find before taking a chance and losing money to a scammer.

    If you google "fraud visa job scam", "fake UK hotel job Western Union scam" or something similar, you will find hundreds of posts from victims and near-victims of this type of scam.

    There is NO way for you to get any sort of job in the EU if you do not have a Masters degree and you have been flown to the country to meet your employer face to face

    Anyone offering you a job over the internet is ALWAYS going to be a scam that will ask you to pay money - but there is NO job

    I read through it quickly and when I read the word 'foreigner' it's unprofessional, it should have been foreign national, beside if it's an unsolicited email, then anything like that would be fake. Ignore.

    Just to add where is their website, their office address, their, office phone numbers??? fake fake

    Source(s): Irish national who gets lots of fake emails :)
