Attn: Victim
We already go through your Evaluation form and you fit our working preference before sending you our Approval Letter we need to state out Terms and condition of our Visa and work permit process. Because we do not conduct online interviews, we only do probationary period of 3 months in which you need to sign along with your offer letter. This procedure will be followed according with the Malaysia Immigration rules, depending on where you will be assigned, because is considered as a direct hire.
Form and processing procedures we do like to state out is the Personal Insurance Bond (Security Bond/Bank Guarantee Rates) which most workers wouldn't like to include because of the probation added to their offer.
As a foreign worker, you need to purchase a security bond form or insurance guarantee you can buy the bond during your visa process which we will submit to the immigration. You're not paying to us, the form will be sent to Immigration department.
What is a security bond?
You need to place a RM1000 (PHP12,160) security bond for your Work Permit. The bond is in the form of a banker’s or insurance guarantee to support the security bond, which is refundable after your contract with the company. Reference from Immigration website http://www.imi.gov.my/ index.php/en/foreign-worker.ht ml
The bond is between you and the Immigration. It is used to ensure that you comply with the foreign workers immigration rules on your Work Permit.
When to get the bond?
You need to get the bond during your visa process.
When you buy the bond, the bank or insurance company will send to Immigration department the details electronically. This information may take up to 3 working days to reach.
We need to receive the details before your visa and work permit will be finalized. Otherwise, they will refuse you entry.
When will the bond be discharged?
You will be discharged from the security bond only if you meet all of these conditions:
You have cancelled your Work Permit.
You did not breach any of the conditions of the security bond.
If all conditions are met, the security bond will usually be discharged one week after you leave the country.
When the bond will be forfeited?
You violate any of the conditions of the Work Permit or the security bond.
If you provide the company with false documents.
You fail to go back when your contract Work Permits are expired, revoked or cancelled.
You go missing without explanation or police report to back up your claim.
We have deal with many employers who will edit their CV just to get a job, on reaching here we will find out they really don't have experience on the field.
You're the one to incur for the insured fees with our help; you’re paying the bond to the immigration department not to us. We will send your file for approval to the Immigration regarding your skill work and after approval the immigration will collect the security bond fee, which they will hold till your contract is finish with us here. If by any chance you break the contract the immigration will still hold the money as security fee or you doesn't possess any knowledge of the work you were assigned to, the company has the right to terminate your employment and Immigration will not refund back your security fee, that's the rules here and we follow it as per government orders. But if you exceed the company expectations, after the contract the immigration department will refund you back your Insured Bond.
If you agreed with this term I will send you offer letter with Visa application form to fill, NOTE: The Company will pay for your Visa/Work Permit fees together with flight and accommodation.
As an expert in this field, this term shouldn't be a problem for you if really you have required job description experience.

Thank you for your kind understanding

Did you got this too?

[AlanJones]

Thanks for posting more details of this scam.

The best thing for you to do is block the scammer and stop responding. There is no job, the scammer just wants to steal from you.

Got the same email. Is this really a scam? How was it possible?they have an active website? Please help me with this.

[AlanJones]

Having an "active website" proves nothing. Anyone can set up a website claiming to be whoever they want to be.

The domain cergasoil.com was registered less than a month ago - long standing established businesses have domains older than 1 month.

So...does this concludes that there is no such cergas oilfield existing in malaysia?

[AlanJones]

It means that anyone writing to you from an email address on the cergasoil.com domain is a scammer.

There may or may not be a real company of that name (scammers regularly steal the identity of legitimate businesses). But if there is, you are not in contact with them.
