Job offer from Dubai's company

I have received this e-mail with a job contract as Architect. As I read, I have to pay a fee for the residence permit visa before working to a travel agency. They write this expence is a kind of proof of the readness to join the team.
Is it real?

Hi codatoarch, it's a scam and there is no job.

Travel agencies do not arrange visas - the only way to get them is through the Embassy/Consulate of the country concerend in your country.
