Answer 1

Just a few problems with this as far as I can see...

1) There is no such establishment as Hughes Moore medical Hospital anywhere in the UK

2) That postcode is for Southlands Road in Birmingham

3) The area of Birmingham referred to is called 'Balsall heath' not Basal Heath

4) there is no road called Page Court in Birmingham

5) The phone number given is a mobile - why would a hospital use a mobile phone contact?

6)  salaries in the UK are invariably expressed before tax, as an employer cannot guarantee how much tax any one will be liable to pay.

7) the amount promised is ludicrous - the CEO of a major hospital would probably not earn 15k a month, much less a lab technician.

8) How can you 'resume' work if you have not previously worked there?

9) Here's the clincher...'All employees successfully screened and recruited for the Hospital" (And not presently possessing a valid United Kingdom Residence and Work Permits Clearance Papers) shall be expected to personally incur all expenses as shall be related to the processing, procurement and acquisition of their necessary permits clearance papers with the United Kingdom Immigration Services and shall be duly reimbursed and will be substantiated with receipts and the employer will reimburse the employee not later than Five (5) working days after submission of employee’s expense report and receipts.'....... oh really? So it looks like they are going to need to pay upfront for a load of 'processing' - which no doubt they will offer to sort out if you send them the necessary money.... and do you honestly think that once they've pocketed the couple of grand or however much you send that there'll be any job or reimbursement for you?

10)  EVERY LETTER OF THIS TYPE IS A SCAM!!!

Answer 2

Definately a SCAM!!!!! mobile phone number, incorrect address (No such hospital) amazing wages, if I could find a job as a lab tech earning that kind of money i'd be there like a shot! Grammar in letter terrible and they letter contradicts itself regarding work permits and residency

Answer 3

It looks real to me.

Maybe write a short acceptance to that Dr. WIlliams guy and thank him.

Good luck.

Its always wise to be bit sceptical, yet that one looks real to me.

Answer 4

Fraud....Fraud...Fraud...It's all doggy....Beware.....Beware

Do not trust as post code shown does not match with their address....Phone number wrong.....

Docs sent by them does not match any standard....

Answer 5

1) Did you apply for the job?

2) Do you want it?

If the answer  to either of these is yes - I would call them up and discuss it.
