Same case applied here to the orginal email id and number of the company was different. I have emailed the orignal company and they give me following reply:
"It has been brought to our attention that individuals purporting to be representatives of Serica Energy plc have been making fictitious job offers via email and bogus websites. These offers may request personal information such as copies of passports or bank details. They may also require the candidate to make payments to help process immigration and entry. These offers DO NOT come from Serica Energy and the individuals responsible have no connection with Serica. We only make job offers on completion of a formal interview process and do not request money transfers or passport details from candidates.
If anyone receives such an offer they MUST NOT reveal any personal details or make any payments.
In particular, please note that the email address hr@serica-energyplc.com is NOT a legitimate Serica email address and individuals are advised NOT to respond to it or to send any personal information to that email address"
