[gescario0928]

hi guys! i have an offer from marriot hotel at london as reservation manager and they told me to process my visa asap and they offer me 4,850 pound can seek advice from you guys coz i dont want to waste money paying for the processing of my working visa and only to find out that i am not qualified to work there... my commencement date is on aug.17 so i need ur advice guys... thanks in advance. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[stevewool]

why the marriot in london, do you work for the marriot chain and if you do they could transfer you to differant hotels throughout the world

[gescario0928]

i applied online, they saw my resume and send me a job interview question they were satisfied with my answer so they told me to process my visa immediately, they send a contact in uk immigration consultant and that consultant told me to pay for the processing fee so that they can process my application, but my fear is that if i am not qualified to get a visa i wont be able to get my money back and it also cost too much... pls need help guys...:NoNo::Help1:

[Tawi2]

Its a SCAM because Marriott normally dont pay
4,850 poundbut £5000 per week,dont undersell yourself :xxgrinning--00xx3: see you in august.

[Steve.r]

It is screaming SCAM to me.

How did you find out about the job?????
Can you post the introduction letter (delete your details please) maybe we can do some digging for you. Include contact details of the Marriot.
I think you could probably call a local Marriot Hotel and ask them if it is indeed a real offer, but I very much doubt it.

DO NOT pay for anything or forward any money to anyone

[Steve.r]

Also.... what was the position offered? / applied for :Erm:

[gescario0928]

huh???? what do u mean by marriot dont pay? they offer me a salary of 4,850 a month and that is not a joke.. so i want to ask you guys from uk. The marriot hotel is not asking money from me but the ukimmigrant consultant inform me, to be able to process my application i should pay for the processsing fee first... thanks again...:Help1:

[Tawi2]

they offer me a salary of 4,850 a month and that is not a joke
Its not a joke exactly but it is pretty laughable :icon_lol: hope you get the job :)

[gescario0928]

the position is reservation manager... yes its one of my dreams but if its not true im going to lose alot of money becoz the processing fee costs 31,000 pesos... and i cant put that amount in risk... so confused... :NoNo:

[Steve.r]

It is very unlikey that a UK Hotel is going to offer a job to a non-european worker. No matter what your consultant says, it is 99% a SCAM

[Tawi2]

Dont you already have some form of application pending here in the UK?:Erm:

[gescario0928]

:Erm: ahm... ok.. thanks for the info...
:NoNo:

[Steve.r]

Post the Marriot contact details, I will call them for you.

[gescario0928]

[Arthur Little]

There you are ... Post #31 ... :yeahthat: ... I've already spotted a number of careless mistakes in the wording of the so-called "Contract of Employment" - small, but noticeable slip-ups - that ANY bona fide, self-respecting organisation like the Marriott Hotels' Chain simply couldn't afford to make, for the sake of preserving its internationally-renowned reputation!

[Tawi2]

(i am STILL going to apply however,free flights,car allowance,and £30,000 a year trafford business loan are just TOO good to pass..........Right:Erm: ) ;)

[Steve.r]

Hi Grace,
I think the information you needed has given you right answers. We are pleased to help you.

Btw guys, I emailed the Solicitors on the contract, so maybe they will follow it up, I am sure they will not want their name darkened by a scam, and they have the resources to follow it up.

Grace, I am not sure if we can change your username on your membership, you might have to register a new ID.

Anyway, good work guys another member saved :Jump::Jump:

OP.

This is all bolo bolo, and a total SCAM, unless you're told otherwise by the Marriott Hotel in London.

All you have to do is email them, as has already been suggested...or text them. A lot cheaper than losing all your money. :)

They will definitely NOT be paying that much, and it would be much easier for them to recruit cheap labour from Eastern Europe.

[joebloggs]

It is very unlikey that a UK Hotel is going to offer a job to a non-european worker. No matter what your consultant says, it is 99% a SCAM

:xxgrinning--00xx3: little to no chance of them getting you a job, they need to get a permit, which they will not be able to get becuase they have to offer the job to a brit or european first.

[Arthur Little]

foster brook is a place in pennsylvania

IS it, by God? Well :rolleyes: ... that'd tie-in with my hunch about the "signatory"!

[Arthur Little]

:Erm: ahhnnn sir moderator wanna know how to change my username.... wanna change it to just grace thanx... :Jump:

As Steve r has mentioned, you may need to re-register under a new ID ... since the Forum Administrator is currently on holiday abroad.

It's your choice, Grace :anerikke: ... but, whether you want to go ahead with the name-change or not, ALWAYS be "on your guard" against job offers like the one you brought to our attention. We're here to help and advise. So ... IF IN DOUBT - GIVE US A SHOUT! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Hi, Grace ... welcome back in your new guise; if I may say so, your new ID has been very cleverly thought up ... highly appropriate in the circumstances. :)

I just had this email from the Solicitors named on the contract. I hope this finally puts this to bed.

Dear Mr R****
Thank you for drawing the false use of our company name to our attention. This is indeed a scam as you suspect. We have nothing to do with employment contracts for the Marriot Hotel.

:xxgrinning--00xx3: well done steve, this is the type of research people need to do b4 they send money to anyone :NoNo:, and infact you should never send money to a company or their 'agency' that is 'offering' you employment if they have never met you, good chance its a scam, and if they ask for money and didn't interview you its almost certainly a scam :angry:

[Steve.r]

The trouble is that there are local agencies in Manila or other places in Phils that are probably taking money from unsuspecting job seekers. It does make me angry.

But you are right Joe, anyone can email or call to find out the validity of an offer, better to spend a few pence on a call that half your life savings.
