Got job offer in EDC Yaounde ......WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS GOOD COMPANY

Dear ALL,

My friend got a job offer in Electricity Development Company, Yaounde.
Pls inform if it is good company.Are their any Asian (Indian , Chinese , etc ) expat working in the company

He got a package of $6000+accommodation+family status+travelling allowance.
The agency is asking him to pay $1000 as refundable amount before the Visa and Air ticket.

Whether the agency is asking the right fee and is the salary enough for new comers?whether it is safe place for working?

Any agency asking for you to pay money may well be a scam.
The employer is responsible for all agency fees not you.

It is not possible for a company to ask upfront payment which they will refund to a new employee.... they will rather spend and then deduct from the salary after working for some time. i know if there are other nationalities working in this cooperation but its a big cooperation and they will not ask such amounts from new employees. watch out.

This is a scam. You must NEVER pay money upfront to an "agency".

Thanks For the help
