Answer 2

It's a scam. I am guessing that you received this email out-of-the blue? A genuine company like Guinness would not offer you a job by email, they would write to you. Since they claim to have your CV, they should have your address.

The tell-tale signs of a scam are use of capital letters and the fact that they are pressing you to do something quickly, i.e. send them some money before the Nigerian police trace their email account!

Ignore it.

Edit:

Other sure signs: Bad geography - Newcastle is a long way from London and it does not have a capital C in it. Bad spelling - "Bussiness", they can't even spell their own address!

Answer 3

did you apply to this company?

if you did not, then it is most likely a scam.
