  • Ive been having a bit more of a poke around and have put together a Facebook post together to circulate in the hope that someone can provide any more information. It is a photo and video of the guy advertising Madeem Recruitment, who if you check in the "view message source" of your emails, is the address most of the emails are forwarded through (although they use a few dead adresses. This is on Youtube and icludes fake testimonials for the various scams.

    If you go onto Facebook and type in Local Media advertising, Madeem Recruitment, or onlineukdisclosures into the search at the top it should bring up the post.
    Please feel free to go onto my profile and share this post and lets see if someone picks up on it.

    I hope you all get your money back.

    Cheers, Paul.

    Lol you have to be careful with jobs on indeed and other random sites. I received one like that from the USA a few months ago. Quite strange.


    Always check for an employer address, landline number etc. Call them and perhaps make a visit to the their office. Make sure they are genuine before applying or sending your details to them.

    An email from some unknown company could be from anyone :cool:

    That's because although Indeed list the jobs they're not actually on their site or anything to do with Indeed, they find jobs listed elsewhere. The jobs could be from anywhere on the Internet.

    Visiting isn't a good idea if you think it's maybe a scam. Look up the address, see where it is and all but I wouldn't suggest visiting.
  • Hi, I came across this chap. It may be very interesting to quite a few people, just follow the link below. Looks like he's an absolute genius in all manners of business. Wonder where else he will crop up.

    So you got offered a job at a company without speaking to the actual hiring company, only the rec agency?


    Did that seem weird?
    Spend what is left after saving. Don't save what is left after spending
  • No, Our legit company details were used in the scam

    Eh? It's the recruitment agency that do the recruiting. The hiring company are only involved after the fact, mostly. That's kind of the point!
