600/- does not seem a lot... on the other hand... that would attract lots of suckers... Wish you the best

Who asks you for money to give you a jobo? Its the other way round, you sell your skills for money. Targetting desperate people.

..''Your bus travel tickets (for refund of your travel expenses)''...

My dear,this is a scam! why on earth would they want to refund your bus fare if it's an interview??

If 6,000 people applied and fell for it,the cons would make a cool 600,000Ksh just like that! Be afraid...be very afraid!!

If in doubt, don't

If you have to ask, then it's most probably a scam

....and if you ask me, any organisation that asks people to pay for a job interview is either a scam or not worth working for!
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

....just like the con-estate-agents who ask you to pay a viewing fee to show you a house. Kwani nyumba ni kama wild-life that I have to pay to see it?
