Type rating with 0 hours won't get you anywhere if you're a fresh pilot (less than 1500 hours total).

I got an A320 type rating in 09 because I was offered a job in the middle east, but the project eventually did not work out. My A320 type rating didn't get me anywhere else for the first year. I got an interview in Asia a year and a half after the TR but by that time it was too old (they wanted 6 month old max).

Now I am about to start training in a regional airline thanks to my hard work and patience, not thanks to a worthless type rating with 0 experience in the aircraft.

Eagle Jet, Bahrain Air, etc. they're all pay to fly scams. I understand your frustration, I come from 1 1/2 year of almost no flying (20 hours or so) after flying 100+ per month as an instructor. Try applying to companies all around the world, network, and be patient.
