It's a definite scam.

The English grammar is indicitive of an African writer, rather than an educated English speaker.

The +4470 phone number is a personal redirect number that whilst it looks like a UK number, can actually be redirected anywhere in the world. There is no reason for someone in the UK to have one of these.

Finally, the "travel agent" is a fake using a free Yahoo email address. Travel agencies do not organise visas. That is done in person at the UK Embassy in your country.

Hello myalacrity,

A scammer who calls himself James L Grun - email address [email protected] - uses that redirect phone number. Is that the name used by the scammer who you received the emails from?

yes it is him. sorry for the late reply
