Checking addresses
http://maps.google.com/
This knows about street names and numbers in the USA, and some other countries. You can zoom in and then switch to Satellite view to see what the building looks like.
If you've been given a false address, you can be sure that the rest is a scam too.
However, even if the address is real, that doesn't guarantee that the rest of the email or letter isn't a scam. Scammers will sometimes give you someone else's real address.

However, I'd also say that "Sarraf Group" is a different entity. Firstly, here's their domain registration. Note that it is recent, and only for the minimum period of one year. Noite also that no real contact information is provided. This is not typical of real businesses, but it is very typical of scammers.

alina s, those sites are all, as far as I can tell, legitimate job posting sites, but you need to be aware that even legitimate job posting sites may have scammers using them, particularly the free ones.
Employment scams may take many forms. You may be asked to pay a fee of some sort to get a supposedly fantastic job in another country. Sometimes they claim this is a "deposit" or "insurance" fee. Or you may be asked to pay for a visa, or to cash checks "on behalf of" a company, or to pay a fee to join a program.
In short, any "employer" that asks you to pay a fee, of any kind, is likely to be a scammer. If you're being offered a job you're obviously not qualified for, or a "commission only" opportunity, or a "payment processing" job, or are offered a job without an interview of some sort,that would be a red flag. Be sure you check out any job postings directly with the company. For example, if you see an ad for a job a company, find the company website and check to see if they post job listings there or a contact for their Human Resources department. Contact them directly to confirm the job opening.
