James Owen Shetland Oil Fields and Mr. Richard Clarke, Solicitor Hays Law Firm, Immigration Solicitors have contacted me, initially through Linked In by James Owen with a job offer, then an application to interview and finally an acceptance of employment contract outlining terms and benefits and contact information to the noted law firm to process for immigration/work permits for the UK. The supposed work location is Altens Industrial Estate, Aberdeen, UK AB123LG and the Law Firm is in London at Stockley House 13 Wilton Road, London. All the contract documents and work permit, afidavit of gaurantee papers look official and on the up and up but now I am told because they request payment for the visa/work permit fees via Money Gram or Western Union that it is a money and information scam. So is this a legitimate job offering or a very elaborate internet scam to bilk people out of cash and legitimate documents for personal identity theft?

Definitively.
If someone wants to hire you - they will pay all the fees.
Money Gram or Western Union? - You've got to be kidding me.
Google the full name of the company followed by the word scam
Also try the words complaint, and rip-off.

Well a lot of the oil companies are based in that location, i'd stick the postcode into google maps and see if you can find them, also try to find a phone number for them and phone it.
01224 is the Aberdeen dialling code so it should start with that.

Its a scam, nobody in the UK accepts Western Union or Moneygram, that's a Nigerian scam. UK businesses accept credit cards or bank transfers. And you pay the British embassy for your visa, not a solicitor. Do not send money for any reason or a copy of your passport. You cant get a job in the UK if you didnt have an interview, the company can't sponsor a person they never met. An oil company would have flown you to meet them before any job was offered. Internet job offers are always scams to steal your money
