How do you know that you are accepted in a position in a certain company, but you just apply it on-line?

Question

I applied on line for a work, and got an answer that I was accepted in a certain position and even got a copy of appointment through email sent by my employer abroad.But they are asking me to pay all the expenses that will incurr (work permit visa, and others)and they will just reimbursed me before I will start my work.Will I continue on this? How do I know that it is legal or not.I dont know the person who are calling with me just to check if I paid or remitted the money for processing of my work visa and others.Do I believed on them?

Answer 1

This sounds like a TOTAL scam! When work permits or visas are needed, the EMPLOYER is required to pay for them. It is NEVER appropriate for the prospective employee to pay those up front. EVER!

Any "employment" offer that requires you to pay any fees or costs up front is ALWAYS a scam!

Do NOT send them any money or have any further contact with them!
