Please read carefully because this applies to every job offer you receive!  99% of email job offers are scams!  When asking if a job offer is fake, include the entire email you received! No real company hires you without an in person, face to face interview.  An email, online or telephone interview is always a scam! No real company ever charges any money for a job for any reason including housing, couriers, insurance, visas or work permits! So, if they ask for money for ANY reason, its a scam! If they want you to pay and say they will refund the costs, you will just send money to a fake embassy official, travel agency or lawyer who is a really a scammer! Read:  www.scam-job-emails.tk  No real company, government or visa agent ever uses a free or public email address (yahoo.com gmail.com hotmail.com, aol.com, admin.in.th, etc.)  Email addresses like diplomats.com, counsellor.com, consultant.com, lawyer.com etc. are also free email addresses.  Read: http://www.scam-email-addresses.tk No real company, government, lawyer, travel agent or visa agent ever requests money via wire to a bank account or by Western Union or MoneyGram. Read: www.never-wire-money-to-strangers.tk No real company uses a telephone number that begins with +44 70, +44 871, +44 870, +44 844, or +44 845. Those are forwarding numbers which are not in the UK.  Read: www.scam-telephone-numbers.tk If the company does not have a website or the website does not work, it is a scam!  Do not assume a website is legit!  Read www.scamwebsites.tk There are no exceptions!  Don't let a scammers convince you otherwise!  A scammer is only as smart as his victim is naive!  If something sounds too good to be true, it is a scam! Publicity defeats scammers.  Post the scam emails you receive and warn your friends! Always "Google" all telephone numbers, email addresses and websites in any job offer to see if it has already been posted as a scam!

FROM THE RECRUITMENT DEPARTMENT OF BALINK RESOURCES LIMITED

This is to inform you that the Minister of the DPR has refused to endorse your certificate until we pay you your 2 months upfront salary because there is a policy in the country which demand that companies should pay expatriates their upfront salary in so that the employees can settle all domestic need in his country before embarking on the journey. In view of this, the company has approved the payment of your 2 months upfront salary so that the Ministry of DPR can endorse your certificate to allow us proceed. The payment you shall be receiving from us is your 2 month upfront salary which is $15,000 USD plus the $3,600 traveling allowance and the reimbursement of both the $570 and the $1850 which is a total of $21,020 USD. The reason the Ministry of DPR refuse to endorse this certificate is because the 2 months upfront salary needs to be paid to you before embarking on the trip as this is in line with the American financial code of conduct section 308 of decree 2005. With this, you are to make direct contact with our banking officer;

Name: Donald Freeman (Mr.)

I don't know if there is a jurisdiction in the united states where I can report those people because I am outside the states but I think the name and location should be enough to catch those idiots. Also I realized that they are changing their companies name and they seem very professional and legit at first with contracts and skype meetings that takes only a couple of minutes and after research I also found that on their website : www.sepoffshoreltd.com they have copied and pasted a lot of the information from another oil company based in canda : http://www.canoverseas.com/.

Please be weary of these guys and make sure of any company that contacts you online. hope this will help someone later on.
