It is a little odd. It is confusing as a scam, potentially pressure you for cash or case the place while working.
If they’re insured I’d probably check it out if I had a secure dwelling a big scary bloke at home.

That’s what I was thinking, either casing the place (but it is a secure apartment building) or will pressure for cash. I’m big and ugly enough to feel secure with a stranger, but you’re right, I’ll give the UK number a ring when they open this evening.

Curious how this turns out if you don’t mind telling me. I think the internet has made a lot of us a bit Pearl clutchy. Most scammers aren’t very creative and scams usually follow some common patterns like advanced fee, romance scam, pyramid scheme, ponzi scheme, phishing, or fraud.
This is unusual enough that my guess is a bloke who wants to work for cash under the table while illegally staying or something that is trying to establish references. It’s not my shit on the line but so take your own council but if you feel secure and you reckon it’s a real company in the UK this guy is tied to you might get a sweet deal helping an illegal planeperson get established.

I am also interested in hearing the follow up on this one.
