POEA reiterates warning on email job scams


The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration reiterated its advice to overseas
jobseekers to disregard emails informing them of selection for supposed employment in
countries like Ireland, Poland, United Kingdom, Canada, the United States of America and
other developed countries.

The POEA recently got a copy of an email from an applicant verifying the authenticity of an
offer she received supposedly for a job in Dublin, Ireland. The email turned out to be an
absolute scam.

The offer was for a permanent job as a receptionist with a salary of 21.50 Euro per hour for
a two-year contract. Benefits include two day per week rest; free accommodation; 20 day
paid holiday allowance; medical and dental insurance; free food during work hours; and
free visa fee and plane ticket; and other too-good-to-be-true remunerations.

The catch, however, is that the applicant has to pay for certain documents and is led to a
website where she should order the ‘European Employment Package Processing’ that
costs 27 euros or more or less Php1,500. The supposed package include ‘motivation/cover
letter. Curriculum vitae, Diploma, application form for work permit/visa and medical card’.

Other than the ‘employment package’, the applicant is also asked to pay Php1,200 for
courier service, Php16,000 for Schengen Visa extension Service and Php20,000 for
European Union Work Permit.

The applicant is then instructed to pay in Philippine peso directly to the account of an
alleged ‘trade agent’ in a local bank.

Any unsolicited job offer through e-mail and social media which requires payment of fees
for seminar, documentation, and processing of visa and other travel documents is a sure
sign of a scam.

POEA advises applicants to validate the authenticity of job offers with the POEA through its
verification system at poea.gov.ph, hotlines 8221144 and 87221155, and POEA mobile
phone application downloadable via Google Play or App Store).

Kapag hindi POEA-accredited, at based sa Dubai, Kuala Lumpur or kung saan-saang lugar sa abroad, at sa social media lang nakikipag-ugnay, walang opisina sa Pilipinas na accredited sa POEA -manloloko iyan - DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM!
