Hi mga kababayan lalo na sa mga nasa Australia, I need help verifying if this Australia job offer if this is legit

He was contacted by someone claiming to be from Australian Skilled Migration (ASM), in partnership with something called “AUS Global Visa Services.”

They said he would be working for a company called “Urban Windows and Doors” in Australia.

They (ASM) sent a “Placement Fee Agreement” asking for $6,376 AUD, to be paid at $200 per week after arrival in Australia.

The fee supposedly covers: finding an employer, documentation assistance, application support, ongoing support after arrival.

Here are my concerns:

• The agreement does NOT clearly state the employer (Urban Windows and Doors is not formally written in the contract)
• No visa subclass is mentioned (e.g., 482, 189, etc.)
• It’s labeled as a “placement fee”
• Not sure if the agent is registered under Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority
• They mention a “partnership” with AUS Global Visa Services, which I can’t verify

Questions:

1. Has anyone worked with ASM or encountered this kind of setup?
2. Is it normal to be charged a placement fee like this for Australia jobs?
3. Does “Urban Windows and Doors” sound like a legitimate sponsor/employer?
4. Any red flags I might be missing?

I can provide screenshots of the agreement/email if needed (with personal info blurred).

Would really appreciate any advice or similar experiences. Thank you :))
