• Answer:

  ABSOLUTELY FAKE. For one thing, travel agencies have NO ROLE WHATEVER in the issuing of British visas and work permits - the applicant must apply IN PERSON at the British consulate or embassy in their own country and pay the relevant fees there. Secondly, ANY telephone number that begins +4470 is a surefire indication that the operation is fraudulent - it appears as though the telephone is in Britain, but in fact it can be routed to a telephone anywhere in the world, and they normally end up in Nigeria or another West African country where they are used by identity fraudsters. Oh, and registered company number 1004502 is Trailfinders Limited, a reputable travel agency, but you will not find them involved in any scams like this! DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL IN ANY WAY - YOU WILL BE GIVING YOUR IDENTITY DETAILS TO CRIMINALS, AND YOU WILL LOSE ANY MONEY THAT YOU SEND THEM, AND GET NOTHING.
