There genuinely are visa restrictions on working for some people. They’re usually students who can have a maximum amount of paid hours or tourists who aren’t allowed to work unless they have a 417 working holiday visa. If they’re here on a regular tourist visa, they aren’t permitted to work.

How did you find them? Most scams work by approaching you. It’s a bit hard to run a scam if you are waiting for people to google you. Not impossible, but less likely.

I think the approach of contacting the UK version and clarifying is good. Just make sure they’re legit before you do. 😃

I’d be cautious, for sure.
