They send people the job offers "from Qatar" and then request money for visa processing.
Below is from their emails:
"The Management of State Of Qatar wishes to thank you for contacting us for the procurement of your traveling documents which includes your Valid Qatar Visa , Tax-clearance, Resident Permit, Work Permit, Immigration particulars and all other requirement for your travel to Qatar. This documents are very important for foreigners wishing to work in the State of Qatar, because without this documents, you will not be allow to live and work in Qatar. This is in accordance with the governmental laws of the State of Qatar..."
"..Mode of Payment to our office :
Western Union Money Transfer has been chosen as the mode of payment, because of it fast convenient way of confirming payment quickly..."
"Mr Abdul Rafa.
HEAD OF VISA/PERMITS OPERATIONS STATE OF QATAR MINISTRY OF INTERIOR AFFAIRS"

"The Management of State Of Qatar"? "Western Union Money Transfer"?? "Mr Abdul Rafa, HEAD OF VISA/PERMITS OPERATIONS MINISTRY OF INTERIOR AFFAIRS" is signing the emails???
Really??

The mention of "Western Union Money Transfer" should be a clear warning..

these scammers..not in the know to say the least. Unfortunately those they succeed in duping are even more naive which is why they fall for such seemingly obvious scams.

Thanks for highlighting this issue QS, and may this serve as a warning to others!
