The way that I read it, they are just giving you information.

They are obviously expecting applicants from outside the UK and in order to pay them their salary, they would need the applicant to have a UK bank account.

They appear to be being proactive in offering information to applicants on how to get an account set up in the UK.

Lego definitely have a prescence in Slough, so I don't see anything dodgy about the advert (unless applying elicits replies from a free email address (such as gmail or yahoo), in which case it is a scammer piggybacking on Lego's name.

Hi Alan and thank you very much for your reply.

I have never heard about the site multilingualvacancies.com so that's the reason I prefer to ask here before sending my cv.

A check of the WhoIs for the domain multilingualvacancies.com shows that it has been registered since 2001, so it is unlikely to be a scam site.

That said though, what is unknown is how well they vet/manage the "firms" that advertise on their platform, so the usual advice of taking care who you send your personal details to needs to be considered.

Be wary of any advertiser who communicates with you from a free email address, or one that doesn't match the name of the firm. Also, the minute anyone tells you that you need to pay money (even if they suggest you pay it to your own name), drop them.
