oxy.com is a legitimate site run by a legitimate company, but scammers often use real companies in an attempt to make themselves look real.

Questions:
How did you get the offer?
Have they asked for any money?
What telephone numbers and email addresses do you have for them?

They said they' be found my cv on monstergulf this is real but at the end of the contract they ask me to contact a travel agency for my visa and my health inssurance .

One red flag would be sections of this letter are taken from other places

Business language tends to be similar in many companies so that doesn't mean it's a scam, just makes it worth looking deeper.

There's no way to be sure without more information or if they ask you for money for visa and so on.

What email address and contact numbers were you given?
