Uncertain job offer from AB Petro Group llc

I got a high class offer from AB Petro Group llc stating to contact Emirates Tours and Travels llc for work permit visa. The travel agent has email address in @outlook.com n gmail.com and a mobile number of contact person n his name but that travel agent do not take my calls even my frens tried he did not receive the calls.  I asked confirmation of the offer through official domain. They confirmed as I required. Lastly I contacted the HR mobile on offer letter which was matching with the Website. He adviced to follow the instructions on offer n asked to sign that offer n return to them n contact the same travel agent and submit them documents and visa fees. He promised me i will have no problem as i will be reimbursed for that along with 3 months advance n issue of air ticket  after visa success. When I checked the status of official domain website of the company, it was found to created 10-12 days ago just before sending me offer letter. Please advice if this is scam.

None of the companies will ask you for the payment for your visa expenses since it is illegal in this country. It is the responsibility of your employer to meet all the expenses related to your visa application processing and they can pay only through the respective accounts by using their user name and password provided by ministry of labor. I'm sure it's a scam

Be understood, all the expenses for work visa will be met by your employer and charging it from the employee is illegal in this country. The total expenses which an employer need to meet for visa processing is as follows

Work permit: AED 2000 (Below 60 years)
Service charge : AED 6/lot ( If there are 10 applications in a lot, amount will be 20006 and if there's only one, it will be 2006)
Visa submission 207
So the total expense is AED 2213 (Maximum)

Besides, Ministry of interiors have a system, that is, all the companies will have a user name and password which is connected to an online account (E-Dirham). The payments can be made only through the respective accounts and collecting money from the candidate is almost impossible.

You are welcome :) And there is one more thing, none of the companies will offer you a job without conducting an interview. Stay away from such and don't even think about a payment

I have also received an email from the said company.

Dear Goldenrabbit88 did you get an email containing interview questionnaire form first? I got an email from Branhamrjb[a]aol.com which is quite unusual but have been directed to reply on email containing company's web address. The email stated it is from Sharon Mcgill from HR Department.
The website address is different from the one you have mentioned above but company name is same and its location is also changed to Abu Dhabi instead of Sharjah.

Me too got an email from [email protected] asking me to fill an application form. It looked suspicious to me as I have been receiving these kind of emails twice a week. Beware there is also an scam on the internet with the name of Al baraha hospital ([email protected]) and FINOTECPE PETROLEUM COMPANY ([email protected]) .

Remember! If you have been shortlisted you the company will address you by your name and wont use "Dear Applicant" or " Dear candidate"

Hi
If they ask money it is a scam.
The process for visa has to be done once you are in the country because there is a local medical check involved.
You have not to pay for the visa the company has to pay and they will become your sponsor until the end of your contract.Then the visa will be cancelled.

Mike

Wow... What a logic!!! I have never taken any loan or any credit card from any bank in my entire life neither in UAE nor back in my home country and they are recovering the amount which is recoverable to me...KUDOS for them and for your logic...

Its a scam.......

Dear Friends,

It seems its a big time scam, having worked in UAE and KSA earlier; I asked Mcgill to get the Contract copy endorsed from the Indian Embassy in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. the reply is standard - contact Salima Travel.

yes it is sure to be a scam, i read the procedure on how to get a work visa in uae at there website it was then different. it is correct that the employer should be reponsible for process of a work permit for the employer..

this is a big scam.never not send money .in UAE no travel agency make the visa
