A Word of Caution:

There are some bogus email messages offering employment in the UK doing rounds and if you have received an offer for employment in the UK which is doubtful, you should make proper investigations to make sure that you are not being a victim of such a fraud. In such cases we would like to advise you to make a complaint to Home Office. Genuine UK Employers do not ask for any money from prospective employees and if someone asks for any payment, you should be very cautious.
