Answer 1

did you apply to this place for a job?? If you did not, its most likely a scam. do not send them any info as they may be phishing for your personal info and to steal you identity.

Answer 2

Samatha Hotels and Towers does exist.  The website www.samathahotels.com is genuine.

However, the phone number they have given you is for a mobile, also if they have a web site, why do they use a yahoo mail account ?

They will get money for a work permit and visa from you.  Then ask for money for a medical.  Then ask for more money for something else.  They will only stop asking you for money when you run out.  They will then run away.

This is a scam.
