SCAM for so many reasons
1 - that is NOT a valid UK business phone number. ANY number starting with +4470 is an international redirect number and the sign of a scam. You think you are calling the UK but are paying a premium rate to have that call transferred to any phone anywhere in the world with NO way for you to find out where or to which number it's being transferred. These are NEVER used by legitimate businesses
http://www.joewein.net/blog/2009/11/08/dial-44-70-uk-numbers-for-international-fraudsters/
2 - If you were not flown to the UK for an in person interview, or did not interview IN PERSON with their authorised recruitment agency in your country who also verified your credentials, it's always going to be a scam. A UK company cannot get authorisation to sponsor anyone if they cannot prove they or their recruiter has met you IN PERSON.
3 - There is NO company in the UK called Donas Drilling -- it doesn't exist. You can verify by checking the Companies House website -that's the UK government business registry. If a company is not listed there, they are NOT a real UK company http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/627b70d13451669ecce484e27900a4b1/wcframe?name=accessCompanyInfo
4 - There is NO such thing as an Affadavit of Guarantee or UK Eligibility Certificate for immigration purposes
5 - It's illegal for any employer to ask an employee to pay upfront fees. As a condition of their sponsorship they are required to prove they can pay, not you
6 - there is no 56 Berry Street in Aberdeen
7 - NOBODY in the UK can process your visa. This can ONLY be done through the British embassy in YOUR country. YOU must appear in person to be interviewed, fingerprinted and photographed at the embassy and turn in your passport. You never pay anyone else or send papers to anyone else.
