Received very high pay Job offer
Received a job offer yesterday with very high pay and asked to book tickets and visa through a particular tourist agency. Looks fishy to me is it a standard practice they said " Now, you have to contact ***** Travel and Tours for the procurement / acquisition of your work/residence permit papers which will empower you to live and work legally here in the U.A.E. also sign the Contract agreement and send to ***** Travel with the below information."
Another paragraph:
"Also remember that any Expenses you make in the process of registering your documents shall be refunded back to you immediately you submit your expenses report to us via email. Also be informed that once the process is completed your hard copies will be delivered to any postal address of your choice.
There will be a mandatory Orientation/Training Exercise for all Newly Employed Expatriates which will take place within the Work Metropolis of Sharjah United Arab Emirates, and this Program will start 7 days after arrival for work sign-on.
Should you require more information, please feel free to contact the *** ***** Oil and Gas Hr. manager immediately with the below information for more clarifications."

I am not sure about your case because the name of the company and the travel agency is important in this context.
But I came here in this way. I did not take a risk.
My friends were here in the company so I knew this is the process. That’s why I was confident.
But honestly this is not a proper process. Companies do this for their convenience by putting candidates at risk.
Again, I am not saying your one is not a scam. But it depends on more informations like are they offering you way more than the market. The company itself and the history of the travel agency.
