Scam?

3 years ago
Hi to all, newbie here. This query is targeted to those that are well informed re working visas....... Offered a job yesterday to work in Kuala Lumpur by what appears to be a reputable firm (comprehensive and professional website). They have requested prior to actioning working visa my return flight cost from UK to send to their bank. Upon this they issue a receipt for me and a copy to provide to visa company in order to enable process of visa. Allegedly this has come in place since Covid (not sure how this applies but different countries etc.....) Received contract and happy with the salary and benefits. Can anyone substantiate this request please. Thanks in anticipation.
