Easy Way to Know If an Email Job Offer is a Scam

These are some of the usual elements present in an email job scam:

An email job scam is complete with a professional looking letter informing the recipients that they are shortlisted for a job opportunity that is waiting for them mostly in European countries such as United Kingdom, Italy and Spain.

The letter will also request the recipient to fill out an attached application form. They would also sometimes ask the applicant to provide documents such as resume and employment certificates.

When an applicant responds to this email, the next thing that the scammer will say via email is that the application has been reviewed and found to be eligible for employment.

The letter is complete with a detailed job contract with emphasis on the huge salary and the benefits. Strangely, though the scammer would ask you to call them for inquiries. Please note that legit hiring companies can afford to call their target employees.

It is not hard to think that the job offer might be legitimate because the letter includes the name of the hiring establishments, office address, a link to the official website and contact numbers – basically all of the things that they hoped would build credibility and confirm its legality. Sometimes, they also pretend to be connected with a valid company or government agency. They also do not ask for money right away.

POEA Advisory: Validation of Exit Clearance of Seafarers

The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) recently issued an advisory addressed to all licensed manning agencies regarding the validation of exit clearance of seafarers at the Labor Assistance Center (LAC).

The advisory states that starting November 1, 2011, all seafarers are required to have their travel exit clearances validated at the LAC before their departure.

Last February 28, the POEA released Memorandum Circular No. 3 which exempts seafarers from the requirement of validation of exit clearance at the LAC. However, the POEA decided to recall the past memorandum because the deployment reports submitted by manning agencies are significantly low. This impedes the fast and correct generation of data on seafarer deployment.

The POEA orders all licensed manning agencies to strictly comply with this new memorandum. It is also their duty to inform all their departing seafarers about the new rule on exit clearances. The licensed agencies also have the option to give to LAC a list of their departing seafarers and the departure dates in advance to ensure speedy and smooth validation of their exit.
