Q: I have received a letter of appointment from a company in Fujairah via mail without any interview, neither personal nor telephonic. The selection has been based on my CV posted in one of the leading job portals in India and I am based in Bangalore, India. The company has asked me to contact a Travel Agency in Dubai for processing my work/residence permit visa. Accordingly, when I contacted him via mail he says that I need to pay US $ 1850/- to process my papers or send him US $ 2950/- to process my and my family's visa papers in the UAE. After going through the advice given on this portal, I find this is also a fake one. Can somebody advise me in this regard at the earliest?

Q: Sir, To apply for a work visa, it is necessary to have a MOL contract. And you can also apply for a work visa from the offer letter from the company. And how to know whether a company is real or fake?

Q: The employer had sent me an offer letter and now asking me to contact the visa agency and pay all my visa fees and everything. It's from a very big oil and gas firm and I am not sure how is it possible that a billion $ company can ask employees to do this experience. Kindly guide me, is it possible and legal to do this as per the UAE law, or this is fraud and cheating?

Q: Hi Sir/Madam, I received an offer letter from the city center mall, but I have a doubt that they require a two-way courier service from India to Dubai and from Dubai to Delhi. I am confused, and then they gave me a visa application form. Is this real?

Q: Sir/Madam, I am currently in India and have received an offer letter from a company based in Fujairah, UAE. They have asked me to contact a travel agency for the work permit and visa process. It seems I have to make an initial payment for these processes (the offer letter says it is the company's official policy), and it will be reimbursed later. Is this normal? Please guide me. Thank you!

The fraudsters allegedly post jobs online or even on reputable websites like #Monster.com or #Naukrigulf.com with too good to be true salaries and unbelievable benefits. Then WITHOUT an interview or fake telephone call interview (which is never done for real jobs in the UAE) provides an offer letter which includes the names and logos of the employer with or without the UAE Embassy stamp and then asks you to pay processing or visa fee to a travel company or exchange companies. BEWARE!
