Please read carefully because this applies to every emailed job offer you receive! 99% of email job offers are scams! No real company hires you without an in person, face to face interview. An email, online or telephone questionnaire or interview is always a scam! No real company ever charges any money for a job for any reason whatsoever! Not for a visa or work permit, deposit, housing or courier charges! Read: http://www.scam-job-emails.tk Scammers will say the money will be reimbursed but it will not be! Your money will be sent to a fake embassy official, travel agency or lawyer who is a really the same or a different scammer!! No real company, government or visa agent ever uses a free or public email address (yahoo.com gmail.com hotmail.com, aol.com, 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 visa agent ever requests money via wire to a bank account or by Western Union or MoneyGram. Read: http://www.never-wire-money-to-strangers.tk No real company uses a telephone number that begins with +44 70, +44 871, +44 870, +44 843, 44 844, or +44 845. Those are forwarding numbers which are not in the UK. Read: http://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 http://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!

When googled the phone number as I find this is the best way to determine if a scam, this "Contact page" came up http://www.ae-adnoc.com/ which is a carbon copy for the ADNOC website except for contact details. I recently applied for a position at ADNOC and had a look at the actual website which is why I thought this was legit. IT wasn't until I traced my steps back and the website address http://www.ae-adnoc.com was not the real website for the company.

It wasn't until I received the "job offer" that said I had to pay for processing fee that I googled online questionnaire scam to see this is a common trick. However the email address used at a glance seem to be legitimate they are

Due to the similarity with the actual email address of the company I believed this was a real offer for a couple of hours. But then as they say it was too good to be true. And searches I did on the email address above came up blank also suggesting the information wasn't real.

Thanks for your response and interest. To give you a little insight on this contract, I would like you to note that it is a one year contract supply project. And the product to supply is "Barium Petroleum Sulphonate" for drilling operations. Barium Petroleum Sulphonate is used as an excellent corrosion/rust inhibitor & recommended for manufacture of greases, metal working fluids- rust preventives as it gives better protective coating films.

This contract doesn\'t really demand a qualification in Oil and Gas because your duty as the Agent is to ensure that the African based manufacturing company delivers the Goods at the appointed time.
Please note that this contract might not distract you from your present work (depending on your agreement with the manufacturing company).


IPIC interest to import this chemical from a local market in Africa is based on the research carried out by the technical scientists that African manufactured Barium Petroleum Sulphonate is deemed to be more natural than European and Asian products etc.... This contract will create an opportunity for people outside UAE to benefit from Emirate Oil & Gas, as well as the UAE EXPO 2020 vision and agenda.

The company website claims that company employees do not contact individuals through social media. See link regarding this information: http://www.ipic.ae/english/fraud-warning

The "offer" sounds too good to be true. I was not interested in finding out more.

It is a scam! What email address did the scammer use?

Another one using mirror site for existing company in Emirates, calling numbers from original site confirmed that persons mentioned in emails do not exist.
