This is a very obvious scam and you are dealing with a thief and fraudster based in Nigeria who is only interested in putting your money in his pocket.

Travel agents do not arrange visas which you must obtain in your home country personally, paying any fees direct to the Embassy or their agent. You cannot get a UK visa in the way he mentions. He is lying about there being a job for you.

You can not qualify for a Visa from the Phillipines to UK for that type of job which can be filled from UK people. Please refer to Border Agency website for categories that are allowed. There is an easy checking form to fill up which will tell you an answer quickly.

began steele is quite correct and you cannot apply for a visa without supplying your fingerprints in the Philippines but as began mentioned, you cannot get a UK visa for this type of job.

The UK government will never ask for payment by Western Union. Western Union is only used for payments to private individuals.

Scammers are quite successful in these scams by offering lucrative bonuses as well as obnoxious amounts of salaries. And people who are in trouble or really need a job sadly fall for these scams by not being educated enough or researching the info they receive.

Watch the spelling - if there really was such a hotel in London they would spell it MARVELLOUS with double L. If you can, do check with a native speaker who lives in that country.
