Many people are even willing to pay to secure a job interview - but they are often scammed."I called to inquire about the job and found someone called Mr Mokoena, he told me the job was legit and that I should come to the CBD. He told me that if I want the job, and without any interviews, they are going to want something. I asked how much they wanted, because I am not working, they said R500.
