I had a similar experience, promising 8 roles with different employers and interviews waiting etc and was asked for $750.00. Declined to pay up front and advised It was unusal that the potential applicant would be asked for money but rather the recruiting company shouldh be charged the fee. Response was It was a different market and thats how it was done, had they actually read the CV they would of realiized I had years of experience in the Middle East. I suggested after I was interviewed and obtaied an offer I would pay… Instant 50% discount, but pay now. Its a BIG SCAM…………. avoid it
