Dear all, please be carefull about fake offer coming from ASTOMOS.
Specialized thieves have copied ASTOMOS WEBSITE and link it to their fake job offers. They will contact you lying you are on a short list. Afterwards they will submit in your attn a job offer, without NO interview!!! Next you will have to pay for your work permit/heat insurance. They will say that after this step they will pay one salary in advance.
Take care these are professional thieves and the offer looks very attractive and well done, looking as a real one.
Don't make any mistake search for all details instead.

I've received a very similar email just with different contact details - I even spoke with Umar earlier this morning to confirm and an alarm bell went off when he wasn't sure about the offer (He sent a few hours earlier to me) I had to repeat the ref no on the offer form and then he was like oh yes, congratulations...

What I'd like to know is... Initially I received a call from a lady at Naukri-Gulf who advised that I need to pay a certain fee (which is totally refundable if my application is unsuccessful) of R400.00.

@elorian did this happen to you too? The offer you posted is almost idential to he one i received!
#333915 by Elorian Fri Jul 14, 2017 6:29 am
Hi, I didn't call them nor they called me. For me were enough proofs not to call them and therefore stoped any connections.
For me it looks again like scammers contact you saying they're from naukrigulf. In my oponion they don't charge for psoting CV's.
Take care!

This is a fake job scam! There is no job! Do not send documents or money! Read www.scam-job-emails.tk to find out how to tell when a job offer is a scam and www.never-wire-money-to-strangers.tk If you are not interviewed face to face, in person, the job offer is Always a scam! If you are asked to pay fees for a visa or work permit or anything else, the job offer is a scam! No real company or embassy ever uses a free email address!
