In the advanced fee fake job fraud the scam employer is going to create many advance fees you have to pay before you get the job and/or work visa, because there is no job or visa! All you will do is keep sending in money until you realize you are being scammed so realize it now and save your money! Scammers advertise scam jobs on many legitimate online job sites who do not realize the jobs are scams so do not trust a job just because you see it online!

No real job requires any kind of fee, including administrative, visa processing, work permits, certificates, authorizations, "Affidavit of Guarantee", "Letter of Attestation", "Affidavit of Oath" "Affirmation", or other legal or immigration fees. No real company ever requires you to make a "refundable" deposit before you are interviewed. No real company says it will reimburse you for expenses! As soon as you are asked to pay any money for anything, including a visa or work permit, that tells you there is no job, its a scam!

No real company hires anybody without a personal interview that means meeting with you in person! Not a "written questionnaire" or "over the telephone. No real company "appoints" you to a job based on your resume, CV or work experience without interviewing you! Scammers come up with many reasons why the job doesn't require an interview, but they are all scams. If they don't personally interview there is no job, its just a scam! If you don't actually meet see your new employer there is no job, its just a scam!

No real company has a telephone number that begins with +44 70 or +44 (0) 70 or +44 870 or +44 871 or +44 844 or +44 845. There is no job, its just a scam! These numbers are forwarded to another location so scammers use them to pretend to be in the United Kingdom when they are really using a cell phone in Nigeria! Read: http://www.scam-telephone-numbers.tk As soon as you see one of these numbers, there is no job, its just a scam!

If a company or government agent or barrister, does not have a website, its a scam. If the website doesn't work, its a scam! Always ask for a website and if they say its under construction or maintenance, etc. its a scam! It was most likely removed for fraud! Don't let some scammer convince you that there is a temporary problem with their website. Many fake job scammers use fake websites and fake email only domains. If a email offering you a job refers to a website like http://www.gascompany.com or the email address is something like "recruitment@gascompany.com, check the date the domain "gascompany.com" was registered. Read: http://www.scamwebsites.tk If it domain was registered recently, the "company" is fake there is no job, its a scam!

No real company, government, immigration department, high commissioner, court, solicitor, barristers or attorney or embassy ever uses a free email address such as @hotmail.com, @live.com, @yahoo.com, @gmail.com, @rocketmail.com! That includes ones like @asia.com, @consultant.com, financier@.com, @lawyer.com, @diplomat.com, @minister.com. Scammers use free email addresses because they can easily chose ones that looks like a company's email address and they can remain anonymous. Click and read: http://www.scam-email-addresses.tk As soon as you see a free email address, anywhere in the email, it is always a scammer, not a real company or agent or government and there is no job, its just a scam!

No real company sends you to some agent, embassy official, travel agency, diplomat, counselor, barrister, high commissioner, etc. to get a visa or work permit. No real company or governmental official ever sends you a passport. Those are always fake. There is no way to know whose passport it is when you cannot actually see the person.

You get a visa and/or work permit yourself from the proper embassy or consular or high commissioner and it costs very little! No real company or government ever requests you send them money via Western Union and/or MoneyGram or Bank to Bank transfers.

Fake job scammers will also impersonate real companies by pretending that that company's website belongs to them and that they represent that company. However, the email address they use will always be different than the one on the company's website. For example, the company website will be http://www.construction.com but the scammers will use an email address other than "hr@construction.com" like "hr@constructions.com" Click and read: http://www.scam-email-addresses.tk

Real companies do not look for workers in other countries! They simply hire workers in their own country! Scammers offer fake jobs to people in other countries so there is an excuse for an advance fee, in other words, a visa, work permit, plane ticket, affidavit, license fee, etc. When you get a job offer from a "company" in another country that requires you to get some kind of document, work permit or visa, etc. there is no job, its just a scam!

Very few real companies use mobile telephone number. Scammers almost always use pre-paid mobile numbers. You can check the telephone number of the company here: Click and Read: http://www.scam-telephone-numbers.tk Many scams come from Malaysia and India. Malaysian mobile phone numbers start with 1 (+60 1xxxxxxx) Indian start with 9,8, or 7 (after the country code of +90) If the telephone number is a mobile, assume it is a pre-paid mobile and there is a good chance there is no job, its just a scam!

One huge indication of a scam is a job which offers a great deal of money or benefits which are much more that what is normal for that job. By doing this, the scammer attracts more victims. If the job offers much more than it should, there is no job, its just a scam!

Do an internet search on everything about the "job", the email address, the telephone number, the company website, the company name, and many times you will see its a scam because its already been posted as a scam. Scammers frequently uses the same telephone number in their scams and many anti-fraud bloggers and forums post job scam and job scam emails.
