It is a scam. Normal cost: Agent's fee up to RM3,500, and this includes recruitment fee, work visa plus work permit, medical screening, levy, workmen compensation insurance....(.for 1 year). The next year, you pay less ...include a service fee(RM50-RM100) rather than a reruitment fee(RM1,000+)..

if you process your workpass on your own it costs you something like RM2000++ with all the trimmings, not yet counting your time (several months), your nerves, fuel, time spent in traffic jams and looking for parking space, bribes (if you are in a position to do so; if you are not you might not get your work pass in the first place) etc; RM5000 for the whole job is a bit steep, but might be worth considering. I usually pay around 3-4 thousand, inclusive of bribes.

It's a scam. The proper procedure is for you to go to a registered recruitment agency in your country who will in turn liaise with their counterpart in Malaysia to look for a job for you. Once they have found a job for you, you'll be informed of the job offer ( stating the name of your prospective employer, type of work, salary etc ) and be asked to sign an employment contract ( if you agree to do so ). Only then your agent will instruct the agent / employer to apply for a working permit for you. I believe you are either from India and Pakistan and for your information there are many scams around especially from these two countries. Going to a registered agent in your country will not guarantee you scam free "employment" but at least if it really happened, you could lodge a report against the agent in your country. If you go directly to that "guy who has a reg. co" , you could do nothing if he cheated you which i strongly believe was his motive. If you still trusted your "guy who has a reg. co", the least you could do is to ask him who would be your prospective employer ( company's name, address, contact number ). Then call up that employer to confirm if it was intending to recruit employee from your country, if the answer is yes, ask the employer who ( the agent ) should you contact.
