Had an email from a recruiter today about this job -

This role is a permanent position paying a basic salary of £22,000 per annum. This is not a commission based role (i.e. you will be earning a basic salary of £22,000 guaranteed). You will need to be able to drive as they pay for all your petrol milage, and as an added bonus you get £5 per day for your lunch - in total £26,000 PRORATA. Extremely good opportunity!!

Everything is pointing to it not being quite what it seems IMO - the maths dont add up, and it seems far to vague to be anything credible.
Anybody got any thoughts as to what is going on here, and what sort of job this is?

It keeps on reassuring it's not a scam, which makes me think it is one... why would a normal job advert have to assure that?

It seems you can take your pick from a number of locations, for further information -
