Everything is possible

Here's a new one for this site. I've just received a job offer - wasn't looking for more work, but never mind! It's looking for someone to work in the UK, but asks for a Zip code. The company named DOES exist, but I suspect they are an innocent third party and don't know about these emails.

The company's website looks professional and lists email addresses within the domain, whereas this email gives reply addresses within a Google mail account. There's no reason for a company with a good website and email addresses to do that. I have therefore (hopefully) removed all references to the mentioned company.

What exactly the scam will be I don't know. It's probably the type where they send a cheque, your forward the money as an electronic transfer, then the cheque bounces...

Here's the email.
