  • I know, I did tell them to advertise elsewhere online but the bloke doing the advert thought he knew best.
    Probably a small co, paying NMW and no funds to advertise elsewhere.

    Small, yes, but paying a decent salary because they wanted someone with experience.

    What would the tip off be? That they were working for you?

    Is this something you have tried? Who would think up these things?

    It's common sense really. The tip off obviously wouldn't identify yourself. All you need to say is there's some suspected illegal immigrants acting suspiciously in that building. It's enough to get them arrested and deported back to their country.

    Why would a law abiding civilised citizen such as myself 'try' something like this? Mhm hmmm. :A

    it seems VERY extreme to just think of. Also depends what the work is that they are not actually doing. A bit hard to prove they are stealing if say working in a kitchen at the time with staff who are legal

    Extreme is when you go Sadist on a bunch of workers with a chainsaw, report them as missing, and you walk free because the police can't prove anything. You'll be on police radar after doing this once so don't try again or the risk factor is increased tenfold. Someone actually did this in China and was arrested a year later because he stupidly confessed to a number of people at the pub, whilst drunk.

    And who in the sane mind would hire a mix of illegal immigrants and legal workers? You wouldn't do that. That's simply announcing to others that you have a relationship with those illegal immigrants. You've been seen together, witnessed employing them. If it's a batch of illegal immigrants then there's no credible witness because they are all law breakers and can't prove you're employing them.

    Without further derailing this thread, I do love nuts. Especially honey roasted nuts. Delicious. :cool:
