Ahhhh gosh, how could be somebody this and fall for this???
I guess the problem is that most people in RP (except friends and relatives of balikbayans etc.) doesn't know anything about life in here and regard UK as a "land of milk and honey" so they aren't able to recognise that this and similar offers are absolutely unreal (£3000/month + car = managers or highly qualified salary in UK)
