The Agency is called Ausphin (http://ausphin.com.au)
I was trying to research on internet other than their own website, on Linkedin they do registered but have no follower... the more I research the more I feel strange... I was arranged to an interview on Monday, should I go?
The Ad I applied for:

The fact it's unpaid is against the law. Paying for it is just stupid. Walk away and look elsewhere.

Are they recruiting for someone else or for there SEO division.
Either way take Dan's advice. Send them an email telling them your no longer interested in the position.

Thanks for the advice and I am sending an email to reject them now. I won't be paying as I would rather use $1500 to do a few Tafe course...

Never heard of such a thing.
Tell them where to get off and to send all their further e-mails to you with the subject of "Cheap Viagra" on top.
Take your cash and get drunk.

that is possibly the most stupid thing i have ever heard and they need to explain it in full.
report them to AGDA. lol.
if they are asking for payment they should be investigated by someone.

Was asked to Pay to internship, is it scam?
Posted 08.12.2012 @ 12.02PM
I completed my Diploma of graphic design course and couldn't find any full time job, so I am trying to get internships to gain experiences first. On pedestrian.tv I found an Ad from an agency saying they offer an unpaid internship, I applied for it and they sent me a document which I need to accept the T&C before an interview. It states there is a cost of $1500, which was not mentioned in the Ad or in their company's website... is it possible?
