Re: How to determine if the job being offered is authentic? - for domestic job

The saga continues….

I’ve now been contacted by their “immigration service provider” (no surprise there), who want me to pay £300 within 3 working days to a Mr Calvin Wilson at 79 Whitehall, London…. and you guessed it, by WESTERN UNION.
… and the email is signed ….”Best Regards, Mr Iain Duncan Smith
The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Department for Work and Pensions” I kid you not !

…… and amazingly, after I informed them that I had a seaman’s transit visa, and could be in London this coming weekend, the sponsor of this fantastic employment opportunity has provided me with their address ….. 23 BENETT GARDENS, LONDON, CROYDON, SW16 4QE, which is supposedly “more near to Heathrow than Gatwick”.

Croydon is obviously NOT nearer Heathrow.

23 Benet Gardens is an actual real address (rather surprisingly), a 3-bedroomed terraced house.
How the hell 2 parents, 2 kids, a driver, a nanny, a chef, and a house sitter all fit in there is still a mystery.

… but I’ve said I’ll be there this coming Saturday, so I might find out …….. TBC ……..

What a crazy, amazing and funny story. It's keeping me entertained for sure.
Yep, I'm looking forward to the next episode.

The episode I would look forward to the most is the one where 5 UKBA personnel rush in and get everyone involved in their investigations.
