All our calls are to be answered from Australian Embasy UK only. This is due to the large number of applicants.

No real company hires you without an in person, face to face interview. An email, online or telephone interview is always a scam! No real company ever charges any money for a job even for a visa or work permit! If they want you to pay and say they will refund the costs, you will just send money to a fake embassy official, travel agency or lawyer who is a really a scammer! Read: www.scam-job-emails.tk No real company, government or visa agent ever uses a free or public email address (yahoo.com gmail.com hotmail.com, aol.com, etc.) Email addresses like diplomats.com, counsellor.com, consultant.com, lawyer.com etc. are also free email addresses. Read: www.scam-email-addresses.tk No real visa agent ever requests money via wire to a bank account or by Western Union or MoneyGram. Read: www.never-wire-money-to-strangers.tk No real company uses a telephone number that begins with +44 70, +44 871, +44 870, +44 844, or +44 845. Those are forwarding numbers which are not in the UK. Read: www.scam-telephone-numbers.tk If the company does not have a website or the website does not work, it is a scam! Do not assume a website is legit! Read www.scamwebsites.tk There are no exceptions! Don't let a scammers convince you otherwise! A scammer is only as smart as his victim is naive! If something sounds too good to be true, it is a scam! Publicity defeats scammers. Post the scam emails you receive and warn your friends! Always "Google" all telephone numbers, email addresses and websites in any job offer to see if it has been reported as a scam!

  1. I received all the documents above, what made me suspicios is that, 1. you cant just get a contract without an interview even a tellephonic interview. 2. A contruct was just emailled to me for a possition that I do not have experiance in. 3. The Visa application fee is to be paid through Western Union. Finally, the receipiant and the address for the fee is in Kuala Lumpur, Malasiya.
    When I check the demography for the website for the Australian Cruise Line, www.aucruiseline.net It was created in South Africa and the website does not have contat details.

  2. Good Day my fiancé was almost caught as well...was offered the job on a Cruise Liner in Australia ..then a visa was organized and then he was contacted by immigration to pay for his own working permit and had to deposit money in a Western Union acc....the reason we got suspicious was the name of the account for the money which wasn't even English and we were dealing with "Australians" so please people be aware.... it seems legit and papers look genuine and even communication with them they give you all the right answers....

Do not include identifying or contact information in your comment! Scammers read this blog. It is quicker to use the contact form if you have questions! Do not ask if a company or a job is a scam when it is already listed as a scam! Your comment will be ignored!
