    It's all becoming clear to me now, how this works.

    In fact, its the same problem that we had with the banking crisis where parcels of "debt" were being sold back and forth between bankers and traders, everyone knew that the parcels were worthless, but the traders and bankers bought and sold them anyway, because they collected commission on each transaction, and it wasn't their money at stake anyway.

    So what is happening is that the scammers no sorry, AFFILIATES, trade job vacancies, and job hunting clients back and forth between each other, constantly making commission.

    Now it doesn't take a genius to work out a short cut to adding "value" right?

    The vacancies have a value, clearly, lots of people want jobs, so why not "dream up" some vacancies, and there by, create value you didn't have before, after all no questions are being asked, so in effect you have a licence to print money!

    We have nothing to hide, we do comply with the terms and conditions that are enforced by UJM and have to comply with their strict regulations. We also need to comply with european employment regulations.


    We need to post individual adverts for specific post codes, so we do post many adverts. We are not the only people or network who post adverts on UJM. I am not responsible for the other 136500 ads that you found, I cannot speak for the legitimacy of all of them.


    This is a genuine work from home opportunity working along a company called Kleeneze, I am sure you can find out the legitimacy of Kleeneze, especially as we are part of the Findel group (A FTSE listed company).


    I wish you luck in your search for a job

  • This shows that the entire recruitment industry is just as corrupt as the banking industry was before the crash, and there is are lots of people scamming large amounts of money out of the "affiliates" racket.

    I'm new to all this stuff, but I'm sure some of our posters were well aware that this fraud was going on.

    It'd well worth watching some of the videos I link to, about the affiliate marketing scams, to see the scale of the problem.

    The reply from the UJM is just this - same old copy and paste that I always get

  • Would take them approximately 5 seconds to deduce these are indeed scams. The trouble is, they don't care.
  • Search Job Vacancies, among others appears to be run by this delightful chap...

    His Recruitment Drive company appears to outline its operation pretty clearly in this archived email newsletter...

    If all these scam jobs were removed then it would make it so much harder for the Condems to beat down on the unemployed. The jobseeker to vacancy ratio is high enough already, just imagine how dire the true figure is!
    As the country moves into a low wage economy, the Government cannot afford to clamp down on such obvious fraudulent activity.
