This is the current scam I'm dealing with.. Scamming seems to be viral, employers, employees.. the likes, everyone seems to be in on it. Thankfully we have the "WORLD WIDE WEB" for when we get a chance to sit down and punch the name, address or any information gained, we can usually suss out who the crooks are - unfortunately, this is not always the case or not caught onto soon enough!
Sorry for the long prelude, here are the details;
The first contact was made to me, not vice verse, I somehow deleted that email which had the "family picture".

Hi Ahmedra,
I hope you are well.
I've been doing some research while my funds release has been pending.
I came across this on
www.gov.uk;Eligibility
You must have all of the following to be eligible for a Tier 2 (General) visa:
•certificate of sponsorship reference number
•an ‘appropriate’ salary
•meet the English requirement
•£900 in savings - this is to prove you can support yourself and you must have had this in your bank account for 90 days before you apply
You don’t need to have £900 in savings if your sponsor is fully approved (‘A-rated) and they have stated on your certificate of sponsorship that you won’t claim benefits during your stay.
There are some additional rules if you’re currently in the UK on a Tier 4 (General) visa and you want to switch to a Tier 2 (General) visa.
Certificate of sponsorship
A certificate of sponsorship is a reference number which holds information about the job and your personal details. It’s not an actual certificate or paper document.
Your sponsor will give you your certificate of sponsorship reference number.
They must also give you some other information to help you to apply, eg how much you’ll be paid.
You’ll need to add your certificate of sponsorship reference number to your application form - you can only use it once.
I also find it very curious that neither you nor the agency that you are using to assist you have supplied phone numbers.
Please assist me with the above.
Regards,
Hello dear,
Please the information from the websit are if you are applying the application yourself and i am doing the application here in London so the process is very different from the processing in the website.
Please you have not asked for my number and here is my husband number +447024089603
Just follow the instructions of the UK Home Office and leave the information from the website so that we don't complicate this application.

Hello Again,
Please i will make out time to Skype with you so that you can see my family and i will like to do that we my husband comes back which be next week so that you can see the family in full.
Please i will want you to disregard the information from the website because you can follow there instructions but they will not grant you visa to come, so i have to us a friend of my husband that work with the UK Home Office to help me follow up your application so that they can grant your visa.
So follow the instructions of the UK Home Office because that is the easy and only they can grant your visa as soon as possible.
I don't want to tell my husband about the email you sent to me tonight because he may not be happy due to he will feel that you don't believe in our family.
Regards
*** And that I'm sure will be the end of it!***
