1. Here is the domain registration data for boskalis-us.com http://www.networksolutions.com/whois-search/boskalis-us.com It claims to be in the U.S. but there is no such state as "clevars", and there is no six digit U.S. zip code. Zip codes are 5 digits or 9 digits if the more detailed 4 digit extension is used.
2. Scam. First, the individual > cannot < obtain their own work visa. The sponsor (employer) has to be involved. Second, visas to the USA are issued by US Embassies and Consualtes. http://www.travel.state.gov/ Visas are > not < issued by US CIS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USCIS#Functions Third, while it doesn't automatically make the offer a scam the "CONTRACT AGREEMENT" is written in English typical of Nigeria or Ghana and not of American English. The overuse of CAPITAL letters is typical of scam letters issued by people from Nigeria/Ghana, as is the improper word use and spelling of CITIZENSHIPS. You should report the scam attempt to the FBI: www.ic3.gov
3. 100% SCAM for so many reasons 1 - there is NO company in the US called Royal Boskalis Westminster US. NONE 2 - The real Royal Bosaklis Westminster NV is in the NETHERLANDS - check their website. They have NO US Boskalis office http://www.boskalis.com/contact.html 3 - their subsidiary in the US is called Stuyvesant and are located in New Jersey and Louisiana - NOT North Carolina http://www.boskalis.com/contact/branches-worldwide/americas.html#c2277 4 - that address is North Carolina does NOT exist 5 - If they are in North Carolina why do they have a Sacramento CA phone number - which is on the other side of th country 6 - It's against the law for anyone to ask you to pay ANYTHING. ONLY an employer can apply for the H visa and the EMPLOYER has to pay the visa fees. You do nothing and pay nothing. You just wait until you get a letter in the mail (NOT email) from the US Embassy in your country inviting you in to be interviewed and present your passport 7 - "Note: Your residency and work authorization in the United States will be processed with U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services here in United States and not with the U.S Consulate in your country. " is 100% false. ONLY the US Embassy/Consulate in your country can process your visa and you must appear IN PERSON 8 - unless you are President of the company you are not going to be making $14K a month Cut off ALL contact and if you were gullible enough to send any personal information, passport details or money you need to contact your local police as you are the victim of fraud and identity theft You also need to contact the REAL Boksalis recruitment department to let them know criminals are falsely using their name so they can get their own security team and local law enforcement involved "T: +31 78 6969 000 F: +31 78 6969 555 E: royal@boskalis.nl"
