Welcome to Scamwarners.
That's 100% scam. it was written by a West African, and the salary offered impossibly high. And the free 4470 numbers are a sure sign. The redirect calls to another phone anywhere in the world. Scammers pretending to be in the UK often use them.

It is a scam. The petrol companies don't run petrol stations as such. Fuel for sale is bought from the company as part of franchise -usually.
The number redirects to Africa ,in this case appear to be Nigeria. EXXONMOBIL-UK.CO is fake.
EXXONMOBIL.CO.UK IS REAL

Thank you very much guys, I am not really familiar with that stuff so thats why I wonder why people do that stuff, I mean - if they wew asking for money or transfer or such thing else, I would be sure it was scam but they even did not ask for anything - and on the behalf of the agreements and immigration processes writen in the e-mail, how would they even manage all those things. I simply don't get it, so annoying

See fake barrister here (OR RATHER YOU WON'T!!). viewtopic.php?f=4&t=24830
Do search.
They are asking for money. You will need to pay a fee for their non existent and fictional papers, and will get nothing. It will be by Western Union which is always a scam. It just hasn't been mentioned yet. Many examples of this scam on the site.
Always check email headers, and in this case all emails will prove to be from Africa.

Well, then they are just fooling with a smart fish then. I asked for a flight booking details on 1st of December under my name on .pdf file, otherwise I'll break up the negotiations lol. I felt happy for a second though

You will get the flight booking details BUT PAID FOR WITH STOLEN CREDIT CARD DETAILS. It will be cancelled later on, but you are certain to get a forgery out of it because scammers do this all the time and are prepared well.

Well, then only way out of the issue is not to reply anymore right ?

Dropping all contact with them is the only safe and effective way to end it. They are criminals, and it's really not a good idea to mess with them when they know who you are.

I got the same message too! My concern is I have given them copy of my CV, will this create any trouble in the future? Here is a copy of the 2nd email i got.

A CV typically won't contain enough information for any kind of real identity theft.

Scammers do sometimes use names and addresses of real people in their scams. It is possible that they will do that, but they can get that information online about millions of people anyway, so having your CV doesn't really make that much difference.

You might, however, be added to lists of potential targets, which may lead to more scam job offers in the future, potentially ones that look a bit more realistic. As long as you pay attention and watch for signs of scam, it shouldn't cause you any real problems.

thanks for sharing your tips...it helped a lot
