Welcome to ScamWarners shiella2010. You have come to the right place with the question you raise. YES! This is a scam. It is written in the manner of a West African who is trying to appear to be a professional.

There is a discrepancy in the salary that is being "offered" at one point he says "£450 per week" and in the second email he says "£250 per week".

Don't communicate with this person any more. Their plan is to get you to send them money that is "necessary" for you to get the job and move to his country.

Will you please post the email address this scammer used to communicate with you. It will be helpful to others who might be contacted by this criminal.

If you have questions please post them so we can help you.

Edit to add: The person who wrote this email would claim that they can get the papers for you, but that is not the case. This is a scam.

The email address of Hewitt McRebe, who also calls himself Josua H MacRebe, is:

[email protected]

This is the fake contract which he sends. Notice that the fake solicitor's telephone number begins 44 (0) 70. This number, like all phone numbers which begin 44 (0) 72 or +44 70, is not a normal UK number, but a 'redirect' number which redirects all calls to the scammer's mobile phone almost anywhere in the world. You can read more about this type of telephone number here:

Please note also that @justice.com email addresses are free webmail accounts which anybody can register to obtain.
