PHILIPPINES NURSING VACANCY SCAM
It has come to our attention that many nurses in the Philippines are receiving a fraudulent email stating that they "have been selected for the position of Staff Nurse (Philippine licensed) / Caregiver or Nursing Aide ( Non Philippine license) for Medi Centre in London City." (sic)
The email then goes on to promise free air fares and accommodation besides a great deal more. It also says that interviews and training will be conducted at the British Embassy Quezon City.
The email then says that a British Embassy Coaching Fee of 2,800 Pesos is required to commence the process.
This email is entirely false and on no account should anyone pay any money to its perpetrators. Medicentre has no office in the Philippines and conducts no recruitment there. Both the Quezon City Police and the British Embassy in Manila have been informed of this scam.
We regret any inconvenience this has caused and take this opportunity to warmly thank all those people who have taken to trouble to contact us on this matter.
