Answer 1

It's a scam. Just google for "UAE staffing scam" and come along many post like the following:

http://www.jobsindubaiscam.com/printer_friendly_posts.asp?TID=5

etc.,, etc.



Never pay any money to any recuirters or anyone you have only met on the internet. Blanket rule.

Answer 2

Scam.

I can also add there is no "Khalifah Road" in the area/address given (there is a Shk. Khalifah road in another area but not the one mentioned), as well as there are no recruitment agencies in that area any way. Interesting that there is no UAE phone or website; the scam "uaestaffing" has branches as far as US & Europe but some how not any in UAE capital ; a dead giveaway!. It is also against UAE labor law to pay anything to recruitment agencies even legitimate ones have to refund such money if they ever did charge for it, as they are already being paid by the employer.

Most of these scams are originating from Nigeria through 3rd parties in other countries so beware where your money is being laundered. Next time you are not sure who is behind the website check the internic Whois records , it will show you the name of who registered that website and what credit card they used.

Answer 3

It's illegal for any UK based recruiter to charge any fees to the job seeker. If they have a UK office then they cannot charge you money -- all fees must be paid by the employer.



I have worked in 4 foreign countries and have never once paid any sort of service fee to any recruitment agency



Not to mention that is an invalid UK postcode. The post code for 20 Front Street in Durham is DH1 5EJ and its a pub called the Victoria Bridge Inn http://www.showcase.co.uk/property/20-Front-Street/North-East/Durham/7721346
