Job offer: fake or real?

[AGM49]

Hello,

Just want to know if this job offer is real or fake.

I received an employment offer letter for a store keeper without any interview from Ferme Allardale Inc 124 11e Rang O, Princeville, QC G6L 4C6, Canada by the recruitment manager Michael Girard from Apet Travel Agency Tel: +1 (514)671 1460 1200 McGill College Avenue, Suite 1100, Montreal, Quebec, H3B 4G7. I have not talk to anyone from the agency.

Now they ask me to pay CAQ FEE of $575 USD and received their bank details to pay the amount. There's no specific time frame until when I'm supposed to pay for it except that I need to send them a copy of the payment slip and then they'll give me a receipt.

Details as mentioned below
Bank Name: *FIRST INDEPENDENT BANK*
Bank Address: *7020 W. SEVEN MILE, DETROIT, MI 48204. UNITED STATES*
Account Name: *STEPHEN JOSEPH*
Beneficiary Address: 101 N Main St, Greenville, SC 29601. UNITED STATES*
Account Number: *10703026672*
Routing Number: *072001079*
Swift Code: *IDEPUS33*

I'm just concerned since the account is under a specific person and not the agency itself. Not to mention the bank is in the USA. I have not paid anything though, because it is a huge amount especially since I am from the Philippines

Thanks and best regards,
A.G.Manzo

You already pointed out that they gave details for a US bank for a Canadian job, but the biggest red flag is that they gave you an offer without any interview.

All the red flags:

- Job offer without an interview.
- Asking for money for a job application.
- A personal bank account.
- An account in a different country from where the job is supposed to be.

Unfortunately, a lot of people still fall for this. If you had paid the money, they would have probably "continued with the process", make you think it was legit, and then ask for more money until you realize they were scamming you.

Good thing you asked.
