Default Is it normal to get a job offer in Qatar without interview

I got a job offer upon filling an online questionnaire at a Petrochemical company in Qatar, No phone interview was involved.

They asked me to sign the offer, scan it and send it back...

Not even a single phone call took place.

Company is APCO, shall I take it seriously?

Any body knows if it's normal procedure at APCO?

Thanks,

It depends on the package they offer especially for middle management roles between 20k-30k QR PCM. Hiring processing is quicker due to various pre-offer cyber profile checks.

I think it's fake. I have received a few of those type emails probably leading to you having to pay them a fee or something worse.

I normally bin them. Scan through the email check if any dodgy email addresses are used or strange links. The format of the email normally doesn't look professional either. Also if its too good to be true it's probably fake.

Here is the company website to learn about them.

My friend works in the New York office and I was told when they want to offer you a position they do their interviews face to face or via Skype depending on location

Thank you guys a lot, you've very helpful that was fake I did some googling and turned out that many people received the same offer and asked to pay some paper fees also the offer is too good to be true.

This place is awesome to have helpful people like you

Thanks again
