Asking if it is compulsory for all overseas applicant applying for work in the UK to pay 200pounds .?

Question

Mrs. Sarah Anderson from UK posted an email to The Filipino Express Online here in our country that she need a nanny.She told me that i will get my Visa once i'll pay the fee for the Work permit.. It is 200pounds.. It is compulsory for all overseas applicant applying for work in the UK..Attached is her letter to me.

Ma. Lina,

You will have to remit the fee to John Evans, He works here in the Uk, If you are ready to pay the fees, you just let me know and i will contact him with yourr details and he will tell you how to go about it...

After you have settled that bill, a visa officer from the high commission in London here, will contact you and he will help you get your visa..

Answer 1

this sounds fishy to me

Answer 2

As far as I know, London is not issuing Work Visas for Filipinos at the moment.  Your contact must be fraud.  Some get in through equally unlawful method using Study Visas.

Always check with the British consulate in your country.

Answer 3

the only place you have to address yourself to? is the UK immigration, not some John Evans , when you pay for a visa or work permit, you NEVER pay or send the money to a particular person, that is a hoax!this is NOT how it works, here is the embassy of the UK in the Philippines:
