Did you contact the company!!

Guest678

Borraro

fake!
did they want you to send any money?

Guest678

As yet no...but may be later..
How it can be judge...its fake or real??? I ll appriciate ur advise

Borraro

you have to learn how to benefit internet.
1) you should look for countries' area codes, in this case you can find out that the number belongs to gsm, not landline operator.
2) did you see the photos under "about us" tab of voltwood.com? save them and use https://www.google.com.tr/imghp?hl=tr&tab=ri to check them. you can see that these people's photos have been copied from different sites.
3) i also checked istanbul map, and number 169 is a well known skyscraper "tat towers" which has been empty since decades bcs of some lagal issues.

Simplest way to know is if they ask for money.  Then it is 100% fake.

Also there are other signs, namely:

1) Lack of proper face to face interview process
2) Applicant not having specialized skills or experience but still being offered a job.  Getting a visa for such applicants is very difficult in most countries outside of GCC
3) Sometimes they use a genuine company website but communicate from free email addresses with you

Guest678

Dear XTang,
appreciated your concern and guidance,well noted.
stay blessed.

Old company according to them but a brand new domain name.
Stolen photos from a legitimate company used on their site.

I'll bet they ask for money for the visa soon.

Guest678

you & other suggestions were absolutely right. Thanks for suggestion.:)
they asked for visa processing fee.
thanks to all .
stay blessed

I'm shocked  .... or maybe not.

This is a really popular scam of late but it's really easy to find out about them.

These scams work because greed outweighs common sense and intelligence.
Please read post 10

I'm not naive as you think I just shared this to show,  that is a scam.

I got the same offer, but I know this is fake, so please be careful.
