    I checked on the uinternet. It may not be a scam.

    The yelow pages, at yell.com show the hotela as:-

    8-10, Queensberry Place,
    London,
    SW7 2EA

    Tel: 0845 456 6399

    so if anyone is interested it may be worth a call to check out the offer direct with the hotel.

    The hotel may be real, but this is a scam. Do a google for "Job Opening in Gallery Hotel London". Each Google search result has a different email address.

    DON'T call that 070 number, and you would probably be wasting your time calling the hotel direct on the 0845 number.

    I've said this before, and I'll say it again, most organisations, whether a hotel or a large company will NOT use a free email address provided by Yahoo or Hotmail, or if they do, they would use an email address thats a bit more memorable than the one quoted.

    07 is a mobile phone number.

    Further to above.

    Even though I am in Spain, I called the 0845 number.

    It is a legitimate reservations agency. It is not an employment agency.


    It is very strange that I have been unable to get a number for the hotel itself but I guess the last word is that this is a scam.

    Sorry if I contributed to the mistery.

    I find that I must agree with the rest of the members that posted here.

    It is most definitively a scam, not a very subtle one, but it is basically directed to people desperate to gain employment abroad.

    Yes it is a typical "fee for help" 419 nigerian jobby.

    For people that don't know what we mean, please visit..

    If posting this link makes, at least, 1 person aware enough not to respond to such mails, then it will have been worth doing it.
