Hi,

I have applied for a job recently at a listing website in Dubai, for which I am a current resident. The post was for a vacancy in Holiday Inn Express Toronto. All seems well and fine, they asked to complete an e-form asking for personal details such as my age, or if I am married, or willing to relocate to Canada.

I was not invited for an interview but received an email early this morning for an offer letter. Is this real?

Seems like a scam to me due to a few grammatical errors, and the unprofessional wording of the letter. Can any of you help me out?

It's a scam.

Almost all job offers are scams.

The email address would in itself be a major clue given the real address for the hotel group would be IHG.com. And as with all these scams nobody offers a job without an interview or pays for flights for such a job. The 30percent upfront thing seems to be a new twist and the fact they mention it 3 times to be convincing that they , the scammers, are not pocketing the money when in reality they are.

Just file the offer /scam in the trash and for sure do not send them any money or copies of any documents which some of these people will use in Id theft.
