Well the website they mention is zyonmediaDOTcom which redirected to zyonmediaDOTit . And it clearly says on their website that they are NOT related to zyonmediaDOTcom. Here is a full message:

My name is Mario Piccitto, CEO at Zyon New Media, web agency based in Turin, Italy.

We are receiving e-mails about job offers in UK and Scotland.

We want to underline we are NOT related to website zyonmediaDOTcom

We discovered someone put a redirect to our web site zyonDOTit but we NEVER authorized it.

We think it's a FRAUD. We deeply apologize for this inconvenience, we are contacting postal police to solve this situation.

BE CAREFUL.

SO MY ADVICE IS TO AVOID IT!

I have reported this to Gumtree Cardiff as a scam at 10.20 a.m. on 13/04/12. I have suggested they read this thread and google the company (took me 10 minutes) and then pull the add.
If you incurr any costs/harassment as a result of replying to this add (before you checked them out), you may now have an action against Gumtree because you can prove they were on notice about this scam from this point.
It is easy to report a scam to Gumtree, click on contact us and 'report a scam' comes up as an option. Suggest as many people who can spare the time do this for their area, this may be the best way to convince Gumtree to police their adds better. If it looks to good to be true, they could do what we all did and type it into Google before letting it run. If they don't care enough about their customers to do this they don't deserve to be in business.

This is fraud and I've already reported it to Gumtree.

I've got an email from this guy asking me to download software from:

wwwDOTjustcloudDOTcom and wwwDOTmypcbackupDOTcom

which were linking to:
wwwDOTtrackampsDOTcom/clickDOTtrack?CID=201062&AFID=149166&ADID=710373&SID=gumtree

and

wwwDOTtrackbacksecureDOTcom/cpaDOTphp?mt=435639&ofid=11282&tid=1


He is paid as affiliate for the number of installed softwares.

As I have already reported this to Gumtree I hope they will take this ad asap.

Best,
Marcin

I was a little bit more unlucky in the cause that I have terminated my employment. I am out off work now and it is very frustrating. I was working as a Support Agent EMEA and they offered me better money, so I have taken this opportunity and especially that they advertised this position is available in Poole. Very nice location, so I terminated my contract and started to look for a accommodation in this area. Than When I ask them, where exactly is their office to be able to find something to live in very close, they did not answer me back. Any suggestion what to do now?
