Dear Madhu Kumar

Thank you for your inquiry and welcome to 419Legal.

As you are skeptical, this is a typical employment scam email with advanced fee fraud and ID theft.
STOP contact with them immediately and NEVER send upfront payment for visa or work permit and your personal details.
"UK Trade & Investment Company" is not a company and it seems some kind of governmental body to enhance exporting from the UK/outward investment. It is obvious there is no vacancy for the position in such case.

Normally upfront payment request receives a “red flag” and once you send any money to the scammers,
they will repeatedly ask you to send money with various reasons until you can’t afford to pay for them.
Also any phone numbers started +4470***** is a mobile phone and it can be answered in any place around the world.

It is wise to ignore further contact from them.

Dear All,

I really thank everyone. I too had faced a similar issue recently & still getting calls from numbers which starts with +4470. Having a doubt from the first day, I was just extending the payment since one week.

Although I was not ready to make the payment, I was trying to trace the person calling me from Mumbai with the help of some of my friends working in Mumbai.

Anyway this message was supporting to my thought & had confirmed the offer as a fraud. Once again thanking everyone.

Regards,
Reddy

Dear abhishek

Welcome to 419Legal

(1)Fisrt of all, please read an extract from "Uk trade & Investment"(UKTI) website below.

Quote:

UKTI Recruitment Scams
We have been made aware that various companies, including "Arunachala International (Tours and Travel)" and "UK Trade and Investment Company" are purporting to be acting as agents on behalf of UKTI in recruiting Indian nationals to work in various industry sectors in the UK.
Please note that these companies are in no way connected to UKTI, nor are they acting on our behalf. Please note that these advertisements are not genuine, UKTI does not recruit people in this way and people should not pay any money to these companies.
Publication date: 14/06/2007

(2)Reply to your inquiry

Quote:

how that person can send email to me from a uk govt website
recruitment@uktradeinvest.gov.uk .

As far as research shows this email does not come from UK.

IP Country Parse Result Research
62.181.1.234 POLAND Routing
62.181.1.234 POLAND Routing
127.0.0.1 N/A Local Host
117.96.108.134 INDIA Probable Origin IP.

Plus the email addresss is not a legit one. You can find the legit email address and phone number on the website.
N.B. NO legit companies or governmental bodies normaly use mobile phones for their businesses or works, but landline telephones only.

Quote:

how they know I registred my profile on Naukri.com

This is a diificult question to reply here but please ask Naukri.com for it.
