www.bunac.org

Last time I checked the idea was that you got given money to do a job, not that you gave money to get a job. Maybe I missed the point???

If so why would anybody pay a fee for any assistance on form filling and application help.

It is an agreed point widely accepted that there are cases where third parties provide a usful service.

I have never heard of BANUC and would think it was a scam from this side of the pond. Depends on your perspective.

fair point Sandra, but looking at the wording of the advert, I believe that there is some element of deception in the offer.

There is also legislation to protect the public from misleading adverts.

I stand by my assertion that this is a type of scam.

They have said the info is not readily available or promoted so they have produced their own package...yes no?

What do you want for £50? Buying or selling.

As you said, they have said the information is not readily available yet it is, as Iain found with www.bunac.org.

May I ask, what your interest is in this company?

Now if you were to take a £1,000 on the basis of producing a certificate that allows entrance into another country and at point of entry it transpires to be false it is then a scam.

Yes/No

Interest - I do not like people downed unless based on facts.

point taken, and accepted. Banuc was highlighted on this forums some time back, and I should imagine that a search on google etc, would uncover this company as well as others.

I am wary of any company that appears to offer a service which make its appear that it alone is privy to. My conception verses yours. both correct in their own way.
