Have a look at this notice from the Warner Bros UK site. They are aware of scamming letters being sent out in their name and have issued this in September. http://www.warnerbros.co.uk/main/pressre… http://www.met.police.uk/fraudalert/.“

Hi, I have received the same on 11th Oct, please note that they haven’t mentioned anything in details abt the job profile…also, the visa fees, work/resident permit fees are to be borne by us and then they’ll reimburse…m just currently getting it checked as well…
looks like it’s a scam! I couldn’t find anything about Dave MacDowell that has anything to do with Warner bros. pictures!
As well as I couldn’t find anything about Mr. Bruce Hamilton being A (director-general) in the Scottish Bureau Of Consular Affairs Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla
IT’S NOTHING BUT ANOTHER SCAM!!! DELETE IT!!!
Hi ritikahyd,
I also got the same , But this time it was sending a mail to wb.pictures@live.com . please let me also know whether any further progress was made to you. Or is it really a scam
Hi, I have also recieved this mail today. I would also like to know whether this one is authentic or not . Please keep me posted if any of you recieve any further info. on this one. Thanks!
Hi,
I think it is a scam as I got this verified from the Turner offices in Delhi. They counter-checked and told me that there have been many people who have paid the amount for the visa fees as asked by these guys before getting the papers. i also got the same letter of Communication from them. I would suggest that you don’t respond to these people like I did “although it is a very tempting offer;)
I got the similar email from the gentleman and when I asked them to call me or give their anothe number I got the email below:
