I've moved this over here to the Britain section to see if we can get a few more responses.

Is that 33,000 a year, or 3300 a month???? Whether its enough, depends on how many of you there are and which part of the UK you're gonna be living in?? It really varies considerably in England

That is perfectly fine to live in London proper if you are in your own. It would be a bit more of a struggle if you have a partner, but still it is quite a good salary.

But be warned, housing will be disappointing (too small), if you possibly can find something new. English people are enamoured with houses that are old (100 years or more), but they are a maintenance challenge, no matter how much character they have. Give me my modern flat any day

If you save is clearly up to you. Eat in instead of eating out, watch TV instead of going to the movies, share a flat or house instead of renting on your own, use public transport instead of getting a car. Just common sense really, you would have to be quite extravagant to spend £3300 a month and having nothing left to save.

I have been offered a similar offer by Kassey Construction and when they sent me back an immediate reply that I have been accepted to work in their architectural dept. I started having doubts as the CV I sent them did not have my diploma papers attached or anything, It was just a flat CV which I had typed out. I started doing immediate research as the salary and benefits was far too impressive to overlook, I still cant confirm the existence of this company, and if they were as reputable as they claim to be then howcome is it that their contractual agreement letter they sent me has numerous spelling errors and the officials signiture is an exact duplicate on both pages..I overlapped them and they are identical. I also can't find them on the internet which is something thats very rare..I can even find myself on google.

I cant post this link as im a new member and they don't allow it, its a list of people who have been domain blacklisted for sending fraudulent or disguised spam mail to scam you.

www . joewein . de / sw / dbl - update / 2010 - 01 - 26 . htm

In this link this is what i found out:

Mail addresses marked '419' are Advance Fee Scam sender addresses

+info@kasseyconstruction.co.cc;419

But if my information on this matter is incorrect and somebody knows this company exists and they are for real please let us know. I honestly think this is a scam.

Cheers

Sounds like a scam, especially as you are from South Africa.

Take some advice from this website and do some thorough checks before doing anything else
