Sorry, but I have no sympathy for people who get taken in by such obvious scams.

Seriously, you are still asking if this is a scam?

If you have already paid the money, it's too late, you've been scammed.

If you haven't paid any money yet you were lucky. You were nearly robbed.

It's ILLEGAL for sponsors to charge for visas and recruitment costs in Qatar. If you have been asked for money you are dealing with a dodgy, illegal company. Qatar Foundation is one of the few companies in this country that follow the law and they would never dream of charging you money.

If you are dumb enough to keep asking the same questions you deserved to get ripped off by these people.

Send your money quick before the job goes to someone else

No Five Years Work-Residence Visa in Qatar specially for a new recruit. This smells of SCAM to the highest degree.

If at any time you are asked for money to pay for your visa or your ticket or any other step in the recruitment process, it's a scam so don't pay, and then send all correspondence to QF so they can track down the culprits.
