How do you know they might be hiring? Did you get a letter from them in email? (Legitimate companies do not solicit workers via email.)

In which country do you live? Are they asking you to send them a certain employment number?

NEVER send money to companies that solicit via email.

I saw it from the ads through internet. Philippines. They gave me Employment Letter & Letter o Sponsorship. And they told me pass it to this email address to process everything [email protected]. Please help me to find out if this is really existing. Thank you very much for your help.

NO company will ask you to pay anything to secure a job.

This screams of SCAM!!

Googled idea accessories ltd and ukideas.com but those companies doesn't exist at all. Be careful specially in giving them your personal info. The POEA in the philippines has a lists of legitimate companies whose into hiring. And in case of directly applying abroad esp in the UK please inquire from ukba.com for more info.

If you got a random email saying they are going to hire you, it is a scam. If you are asked for money for them to hire you it is a scam.

If you don't have a physcial address and a telephone number for this company , they are a scam
