Yes, it's a scam.

There is an unmistakable style to Nigerian 419 mails. You cannot obtain a UK visa the way he suggests and it requires a personal interview in your home country where you will present your ORIGINAL passport and documents and even provide fingerprints. None of this can be done over the internet.

We manage the UK visa operation service around the world through visa sections at UK embassies, high commissions and consulates and through visa application centres run by our commercial partners VFS Global and WorldBridge Service.

The Embassy won't deal with a travel agent.

You will have to go in person to your nearest visa application centre to provide your biometrics and submit your application.

Your visa application will not be processed until you have provided the necessary biometric information.

The person contacting you is a scammer and is trying to pretend that you have to pay him for a visa, but you don't obtain a visa that way. Until you follow the proper procedure and make an application to the local UK Embassy or VAC in person you won't have to pay a fee and won't get a visa. If you have been offered a job ahead of this mail it is likely that it is part of the scam to make you think you need to get a visa.

thank you very much for the advice!
lucky that i joined here..great thing you're there!!!

those liars should go to hell!!!
burn them alive!!!

Yes razamataz, we feel the same way.

Life's hard enough without these scammers behaving like vultures to destroy peoples hopes and dreams with their lies and frauds.
