    damn, i've binned the job info now, to add to my list!

    UJM have done a clean up this week of a lot of the scammers but inevitably they've missed plenty of others.

    You could try Job Ahoy.

    https://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/job-ahoy.co.uk?utm_source=addon&utm_content=warn-viewsc

    Or Bodhi Money.

    https://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/bodhimoney.com?utm_source=addon&utm_content=rw-viewsc

    To save you checking here's a list of their current 'vacancies'.

    It's a waste of time complaining to UJM.

    The scam recruitment agencies always offer far in excess of the NMW but I found one vacancy, where the scammer hadn't done his sums properly, which was paying £5.77 an hour. When I complained to UJM they sent an automated email saying they check all jobs before they're listed.

    In my opinion, if you want to expose UJM scammers the best place to do it is on MSE because this site features very highly on Google and other search engine listings. I always give them an untrustworthy rating with back-up comment on Web of Trust as well.

    MSE wont stop the adverts on the UJM will it?

    Keep reporting them I say. I am giving the UJM a week to get them all off then I take the next step.

    I think it is very clear that coopdivi knows that, by putting them on mywot and/or MSE then people will see the search result and not be taken in before the UJM gets off its !!!! and removes them

    The company website was registered by a company in Glasgow called Recruitment Drive UK. Their registered address is:

    01/173 Kenmure Street
    Glasgow
    Scotland
    G41 2LE
    United Kingdom

    The address is a residential tenement block. The site was created using "go Daddy".

    There is no company called Recruitment Drive UK registered with the REC. They are also not registered with Companies House in London.

    What's your next step, AP?

    I'm thinking of going to see my adviser next week and bring this up. Only seen my own adviser once so far, but she seemed quite pleasant and wanted to help me.
    I've also emailed her three times with questions and she has got back to me quickly each time, answering my questions.

    Search Job Vacancies have disappeared from Universal Jobmatch.

    Maybe DWP is finally starting to clean-up UJM, as still plenty more spam advertisers on there.

    Search Job Vacancies are back on UJM and have been for a couple of months now. They are now calling themselves Uk-localrecruitment.com and are listed on Jobsearch Direct as UK Local Recruitment.

    They've changed their modus operandi slightly. Instead of posting thousands of fake vacancies, they now copy thousands of real ones from Indeed.co.uk, paste them on their own website and then post these 'vacancies' on Jobsearch Direct. It's still the same result for the jobseeker though. On following the link to Uk Local Recruitment jobseekers have to upload their CVs. After hitting the Submit Application button the page changes to just display 'Thank you for your application.' and nothing else. Try it for youself here:

    https://www.uk-localrecruitment.com/display-job/102285/

    Just fill in any old rubbish. Make up an email address ie qwerty @gmail.com and don't upload a CV.

    Here's the guy who runs all these fraudulent websites:

    Of course Monster Inc could easily get rid of all the fake jobs on their rubbish website if they wanted to but they won't bother because Channel 4 aren't on their back.
