Further search I found an article about similar scam on how they get your money...

I am fortunate today that I am able to find information on the website that was shared by people. My intend to make everyone aware of such scam going on and word of cautious. You maybe starting out and you maybe desperate to make a name of yourself but remember to do your homework and usually there is no free lunch!!!

The people from the other side send me an email again, I guess he is in London time and he is awake now. He wants me to to respond with my email acceptance to the job... Hahaha I feel like telling him to go fly kite!
 

Tell them you do not have a bank account that can accept international money order.

Ask them to send you the advance via western union.
