Job Offer- is it legit?

TBH for myself i would stay clear, if i had any such doubts or concerns i wouldnt entertain it. As Pastures said even the most basic of info like charity number is given and searching on the charity commisions website gave me nada. Searched a variety of key words crisis4kidsuk, crisis 4 kids, crisis kids, crisis uk

none come up with any resultapart from crisis uk, which was aimed at homing the homeless

I replied to their email, If I get a reply back and they are legit, great, if not, then I'll report them

'Thank you for your reply, I am curious as to what your charity number is as I cannot find yourselves on the official charity commissions website.

Thank you in advance.'

If legit,they wont have a problem in sneding it. If no reply you know where you stand

If they do reply with a number check it out anyway just in case they try and fob you off with a random number.

I would not have bothered. It reeks of scam.

• You appear to have been selected on application, with no interview
• There is no charity reg no
• Googling brings nothing up
• You only have a mobile No
• I bet you don't have a postal address

These factors would be sufficient for me to report the 'vacancy' to the Job Centre, without even emailing the 'charity'

SCAM! Please, don't get your hopes up. They can't even spell the words in the job title correctly. Delete email and move on.

These types of scams will generally ask next for NI number, date of birth and bank details next in order that they can transfer your wages...
