All these years it used to be the fraudsters from Nigeria who used to take naive people to the cleaners.Now it seems some others too may be wanting to join the bandwagon.So,
before you send your acceptance,be sure about two things.First,is the offer in response to your application?if not,it is 100% a scam.
Secondly,if any payment has been called for,
please go by what Mr.Minootoo has suggested.
Never part with any personal details such as
bank account numbers,credit card numbers etc.
Finally,why don't you check the credentials of the job offerer company with the Ghanian
High Commission in Delhi?Good Luck.

Was there more to it?

I am not sure what to say.

If they have required you to pay some thing, then make sure it is paid officially to the consulate/embassy, as visa fee.

Otherwise it may be a come on.

Congradulations you got a job.

Just a fraud.

This is a scam and not a very good one either
