You are correct. It is a scam.

This tells me where the scammer is going:

If you are not a national and do not have a valid work permit, we may have to recommend an independent immigration attorney to help advise your eligibility to enter and work in the United Kingdom.


The scammer intends to send you to a fake immigration attorney, who will demand fees, supposedly to get you a work permit and necessary documents.

In reality of course, there is no job and no work permit--only a scammer trying to take your money.
