Dear Mr.Madhu Kumar,

Note: The entire traveling documents required by you should be obtained from the British High Commission in Mumbai India, through our company Asia zonal coordinator, as the only authorized coordinator, according to the company management schedules. That is the reason why we post all the original copies of your documents to the British Embassy there, for opening of your file and register your name with British Council over there in India .Kindly contact him for the hard-copies of your documents; he shall on your behalf submit it to British Council for opening of your file, and also for your recognition in the British Council office in India.

This will prove that you are our candidate and all necessary help should be availed to you. Our company's Indian coordinator will process your document as a none appearance because of the most recent terror plot involving some Indian doctors in UK which now has dented the image of Indian immigrants and top geared a more strict measures on every Indian immigrant for any reason entering UK, unless with a competent and considerable assignment like the same you are invited by our company by that we arranged and sent one of the senior workers as a coordinator to avail all our employees aid to obtain their traveling documents from the British council .

So due to this complications it's very much difficult for every Indian who's a new traveler to United Kingdom to obtain visa from the council easily unless with the influence and presence of a coordinator to stand for him/her to ensure a faster procurement of the applicant's traveling documents .

So everything will be done without even you showing up and you're not much needed since our Company's coordinator is there for you .All you need to do is make available every requirement needed for this procurement to fasten it up to enable you get to UK on time and resume your work before the time given to you elapses. Kindly contact our Asia-Zonal co-coordinator ASAP, he will inform you the next step to take in processing your traveling documents, Visa, Work/permit and HSMP

Documents & fees.

1. Registration & Visa fees GBP 433. Great Britain Pounds. (Four Hundred and Thirty three Great Britain Pounds.)
2. A scanned copy of your international Passport (First and second pages must be in colored).
3. A copy of your ID Proof.
4. 2 recent photographs



But in case they needed any other documents or fees they must surely contact you for that. But most importantly, you must never fail to inform the company of every step you take over your processes with the coordinator either by phone communication or via e-mail.

Coordinator's contact information’s
Name: Mr. David Moyer

Default UK Trade & Investment Company

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.

Default Really useful message that can be forwarded to many who were not aware of these

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

Default Uk trade & Investment (UKTI)

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

Extract form https://www.uktradeinvest.gov.uk/
(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.

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.
