We also indicated the cost that will be shouldered by your employer and the cost that will be shouldered by you as stated by your employer.

It's a scam and there is no job. The scammer just wants to steal the visa fees from you.

[email protected] and [email protected] are both free email addresses, which no legitimate company would be using.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
