Cheers bat.

I thought it was a con, but it is good to get it confirmed.

In fact, I would advise staying away from ANY recruiting agency that charges you any type of fees etc. The other big scam I noticed recently are emails from Shell Gas Direct Project with a job offer - without even an interview! When you respond they ask for advance fees to cover documents and visas.
