The free email address, wrong telephone number, and asking for cash are obvious signs of a scam.

Thread killing post.

Thanks fred. anyway from where are you?

fred may i ask if you have some basis or experiences about this. thanks

It is a scam.

Any such correspondence that asks for money before processing a visa is a scam.
Employers will cover the cost of any visas, permits and airfares needed.

As Fred has stated, the phone number is wrong. Also the email address is a private system, not one that the NZ HIgh Commission uses.  They have an official email address which is [email protected]

Also the work hours are set out wrong. It should be set out in 24 hour mode not am / pm. Embassies / High Commissions do this to avoid confusion.

I suggest that you send them these details so they are aware of the scam.

Now it is clear for me, thanks stumpy for helping me on this matter, you too fred. Hope i can find legit employer in my searching. anyway thanks again.
