This sounds like a scam. If you have any friend in the UK, try to get them to visit the office personally and verify it. Do not under any circumstance pay money for insurance or any other expense to this company until you can contact them physically. All the best.

I wouldn't believe it from the beginning... why on the earth someone would send me a Job offer and would hire me just like that, without any interview or even without seeing me, and moreover would rush me to finalize the hiring within 1 week...unless it's the best friend of my first uncle or something like that..

and especially since you say you can never reach them, it is obviously scam!

dont ever send money to anyone for these kind of offer unless you know them or you have applied yourself
