    Info re UK telephone numbers:-

    Personal Numbering, Radiopaging & Mobile Service numbers
    Download 07 numbers (MS Excel format)

    (numbers beginning 07)
    Personal Numbering (070 numbers)
    Radiopaging numbers (076 numbers)
    Mobile numbers (075/7/8/9)


    Thus +447024052533 is Personal Numbering (070 numbers) and therefore would never be used for any genuine job offer.

    ITS A SCAM !!!!!

    I got six or seven of this kind of stuff in my spam mail box.
    Get on average 1 a week or so.

    Also, Got to admit that the Paypal spoofs are quite good and I can see how some people may fall for them.
