Take Note:

1. As you can see from above, the contents of the email are openly suspicious. Never will a genuine employer ask you to part with money in in order for you to be considered for an interview.

2. The said ‘company’ does not have any physical location. No employer will work at your convenience, asking to interview you at a venue close to where you reside.

3.The salary of a Store Assistant is nowhere close to Kshs 50,000.

4.Numerous grammatical errors and unprofessional style of writing.

In closing, we encourage you to forward us such suspicious emails from ’employers’ for us to conduct research on them. Kindly share this information with your friends.
