I didn't need the 2nd or third emails to know where this one was heading, though they reinforce what is happening.

It is a complete scam, and we have seen a lot of these. The "jobs" vary, but what is always the same is that they are always in a different country than the victim and the scam centers around the passport/visa.

Travel agents cannot get visas for people, but it doesn't matter, because there is no real travel agent involved either. And there is no job. The only thing that really exists is a scammer who is posing as both an employer and a travel agent. His "travel agent" character will demand money for fees, taxes, etc. to get your visa. Those fees will generally be required via western union, but occasionally by bank transfer. But if you send money, all that will happen in the end is that you will have no job, no visa, and no money.

Whenever you see this type of telephone number (+4470) it is masquerading as a UK number but it will actually redirect your call to anywhere else in the world. It is a clear sign that the person is a scammer who is hiding where they are really located, as you might be less likely to accept a job offer in the UK from someone who themselves is actually located in Nigeria. I can't be certain that that is the actual location of the scammer, but the style and poor spelling ("receiptionist") makes it the likely location.

Whenever payment is requested by Western Union you're dealing with a scammer
