Please beware that there are fake UK visa/work permit scams online. A number of fictitious companies, claiming to be based in the UK, are offering promises of employment and a UK work visa. The only authorised UK visa application portals are www.gov.uk/apply-uk-visa and www.vfsglobal.co.uk/peru..
IMPORTANT: The UK government does not solicit payments via international money transfer (e.g. Money Gram or Western Union).
If in doubt, contact the British Embassy at 01 617-3000 or belima@fco.gov.uk.
