Offered a job without an interview

There is a high probability this is a scam.
Perhaps you could post a copy of the offer including all contact details but, and this is the golden rule, if they ask for money for anything, it's a scam.

Yep, it sounds a lot like the tons of scams that are going around these dates.

The address used in that email leads to a scam site that was registered in June of this year
the same address us used by Brew-Meister Oil Gas Company, a company name known to be used by scammers

+96871678465  is a mobile phone number, not proof it's is a scam as some companies use mobile numbers, but it always means further checks are needed

That number comes up as a scam visa company that asks for money

That about looks after that one - It's a scam

Meanwhile, we remind you that any amount you spent in processing your papers will be totaly refund back to you before you embark your trip to DHOFAR OIL AND GAS LTD according to OMAN Labor Law policy.

They're about to ask you for money - Don't
