Help on homeworking vacancy in jobcentre, is it real?

clairibel

Hi, seen this on the jobcentre website and cannot find any info about the company not that I know how to really, have done a google but nothing really comes up apart from vacancies.

They are advertising homeworking jobs but I noticed quite a few spelling mistakes on the website and feel unsure.

Any help appreciated.

They have been established since 1999 and there is nothing on Google? The site was only registered by Bookwell Solutions in September 2011, according to WHOIS.

There are so many more red flags it is obvious that there is no real work.

People on MSE are very generous and share their information about legitimate sources of work that can be done at home: I can't recall ever hearing about this company.

PS Googling the Postcode for the website registration - SE28 0WQ - brings up an entry in SCAMWARNERS!

Thanks ever so much for taking the time to help and investigate :beer:

The JobCentre should be ashamed of itself for accepting such advertisements. It is a good thing that people are becoming suspicious and learning what to look for, but it is a disgrace that some people's hopes are still being raised by this sort of 'job' advert.

I've seen this sort of thing in the jobcentre before. I complained that so called job they were advertising was nothing but a scam and they had to take it off their books. You'd think they'd investigate a bit first.

I don's see any company registration number and the website looks cheap and it has spelling mistakes on it.

I wouldn't touch it with a barge poll.

I found it under postal jobs, there are 3 numbers COF/25644, NSN/25111, BUL/19133 under Packing Assistant.

What will the website be doing if its a scam, how will it rip people off?

Especially as people put their trust in the jobcentre, I have read about scams before being applied for through the jobcentre, there was an ebay trading assistant and lots have been caught out by it.
