Sincerely Yours,

You can not work if not licensed by both locally and by the NMC as a nurse in the UK so the bit about unlicensed shows this is wrong. It then goes on about work permit and then get work visa. You do not get both, the UK only has work permit

I wish people would forward emails like this to their local British embassy and if they get many they may start taking action

let's all be vigilant. its a sad thing we nurses are exploited here in our own country. but to have these scams add to our hardships, its really frustrating. i hope the the government would do something about it.

Specializes in Pre-hospital Care, Remote medicine.

I suggest we flood their cellphone number with SMS. haha! imagine if hundreds or thousands of us nurses send about let's say 50-100 SMS to that number, and if they changed thier number, it will be posted in their email message again. anyway,there's what we call "unli text' and it could be a fun hobby for the "tambay" nurses. just kidding! But seriously, that one way if there's not one who is bold enough and determined enough to do some concrete measures. These people are not that hard to track.

so sad that we unemployed nor employed nurses are being used in this kind of scam. let's all be wise and vigilant to what companies or agencies offered to us. Its fake and this is really so sad.

hi, how did you know that the HOTEL NURSE AT THE RITZ HOTEL WAS A SCAM?? Actually, I sent a resume to them and got that email message too. Now, Im confused if they are really a scam or not?? HELP!!! I need an ASAP reply.

how did you know that they are really a scam?? can you prove it?? Actuallt, I also received the same email message, Now Im confused. :((

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

Think about it, How can you be a nurse in the UK if you haven't meet NMC requirements, you can't, it is illegal to work in the UK and not have a NMC registration. There are other stuff that comes to mind like work permit and work visa it talks about both when there is only work permit for the UK.

If you really look into your research you will check out the UK borders website and see what they have to say about obtaining a work permit for the UK and also if in doubt contact the UK embassy in your country and see what they have to say about it and work permits

The Ritz Hotel Nurse ad used the address of the Crown Regency Hotel in Arnaiz Ave. in Makati and according to the staff of the Crown Regency Hotel, for 2 weeks now, they have been getting visits from Ritz Hotel applicants. THIS IS CLEARLY A SCAM! My friend reported this to the NBI Computer Crimes Division yesterday and hopefully, they would be able to trace the perpetrators of this scam. IF YOU HAVE BEEN VICTIMIZED, please report to the NBI main office (computer crimes division) so that NBI can act on this matter. They didn't seem at all bothered when the matter was reported because it was just one person complaining BUT if all the victims can come forward, perhaps NBI will realize the gravity of the situation and the crime. Thank you!
