They want us go to QNB and wait in que just to pay Qr50?

Just like i said, if they dont have the physical location of their office in Qatar,...of course its a scam! Make sure you deal with them by personally paying the said amount.

There used to be a recruitment agency at Town Center in Bin Omran, I think the office name is Qatar Recruitment Agency. Am not sure if they do still exist. They charge Qr50 to submit your CV and forward to prospective employer. But this one is different, you go in person and pay the amount.

Its not a scam!

Just find out if they have office and business license in Qatar, then its never a scam and neither illegal.

Thats how recruitment agencies makes money. You pay Qr50 to submit your CV and they will forward it to various companies, kinda "service fee". On the other hand, the companies contacts them for any available candidates that would match their requirements on the job vacancies.

If you check the email address, its ending with "live.com". I saw so many vehicle for sale aad here whos contact email also ends with "live.com".

This is purely scam.

It's a scam. NEVER pay to apply for a job. That is for the recruiter to do, not the applicant.
