@Fred I didn't have any clue about this whole fake job offers i just saw the answers shared by everyone and i compared it to the email that i got it's the first time i face something like that that's why i asked... Anyways thanks
-@aliyah99
I can see how a first time potential victim could be confused
Easy way to spot them:
They ask for money
If they haven't got to that:
You didn't apply for the job
No interview
A little use of thinking skills weeds out the scammers.
Sadly, the next post in this thread will be someone asking if the job is a scam
-@Fred
they did all of what u mentioned ....
 And sadly they will keep scamming people because not everyone is so aware about these things especially this fake job offer using same email content but with different company names and what's shared here is not reaching to everyone for example me i searched alot then thankfully i found this page...
Anyways thank you again.
I have received the email same contact names like omar and Khaled but under different company name it's called Al Shafak Groups
I have received the same email with same information same person name exactly the same writing but under different company name.

Ask for money to buy airline ticket etc Do not send any money.Just in case it is fake job offer.You should come to Turkey in order to find a job rather than applying jobs remotely.Serious company will send you money and never ask money.You should find job somewhere else.Turkish business owners will pay you chicken feed.$300 month but rent will be $500 month.Nobody wants to work in Turkey.

Try to understand nobody will give the perfect information here that means in this group.
Hope to hear from you soon.
A brand new site with no uploads
Random emails asking for money
As for emailing them - Stupid idea - You're emailing the scammers to ask them if they're scammers
What do you think they will say?
It's pretty obviously a scam - Your ideas are a worry as people might well send money in the hope it isn't a scam after reading your ill informed, and frankly silly, posts.
Unless you're part of the scam

You had better send your money to them. You can always start a warning thread when you get ripped off.
For the rest of the world - It's a scam so don't send money.
In the past, scammers have joined the forum to blow smoke on scam busts - I wonder if this is another.
Everyone must be careful about that
Easy for me with jobs, they have to ask me, not the reverse, employer has to pay for all expenses (including travell and hotel), simple as that if they are interested they have to pay.
This applies for all offers if employers are intereste for a director position or cleaning job from abroad, it does not matter. (as a side note for house maids, caretakers, ... in Turkey there are many un-employed, why should a foreigner be interested (to much bureaucracy etc)
I had just received a job offer from Ayas group. The name seems similar to Ayaz holding. Can someone advice if it's another scam?
Thanks.

@Atai Easy as reported before, if they want you, they have to pay you.
Hello all,
As far as I've read the messages above, they are all scams.
Please never send any money, like processing fees or formal procedures, etc.
All the best
Alper
@Atai Please make sure to request the company's registration and tax documents, directly from the employer, and then verify them with the local Turkish embassy. Please ignore advice from people who say not to pay for recruitment agencies, as they may not understand the industry. Most recruitment agencies do charge a finder's fee or membership fee. Never pay extremely exorbitant high fees. When I talk about membership or finder's fees, I'm only talking about $100* is normal. The employer should cover the costs of your work visa, and permit and help with your document submissions.
1st April I got an offer letter from terra mall for storkeeper how can I check is it true or fake?
@Rahul Lama Nice and congratulations, but does your employer pays for all. In my view you should not pay anything.
As a side not for the moderator, these type of posts should be removed from the start (even sad for the initiatiors (even if protecting in a way)
This forum should avoid to be involved i these type of activities (directly or indirectly)
@cdw057 Turkey has many, many capable people, why to ask mid-level employees where there are millions available within Turkey (and by the way speak Turkish (and often other languages))
