| The DMW warning against a fake employee |
Even the Department of
Migrant Workers in the Philippines has fallen prey to scammers.
An advisory posted a
few hours ago on DMW’s Anti-Illegal Recruitment and Human Trafficking Program
(formerly of the POEA or Philippine Overseas Employment Administration) warned
of certain individuals pretending to be their staff so they can recruit workers
for fake overseas jobs.
The post was
accompanied by a supposed DMW ID card of someone named Vivian S. Puzon.
Two years ago, a similar warning was posted on the POEA Facebook page.
Three supposed POEA IDs in the names of Brett Franco G. Porras, Epifanio
Supapo, Jr. and Roberto B. Bustillo were posted, along with the warning that they were using the name of the agency for illegal recruitment activities.

“Peke ang mga ito,
hindi namin sila empleyado,” said the advisory. (These are fakes, they are not
our employees).
The DMW advisory in turn said: “Mag-ingat sa sinumang
magpapakilala na sila ay taga-DMW at mag-rerecruit ng trabaho pa-abroad - SCAM
po yan." (Beware of anyone who introduce themselves as
being from DMW and recruit for jobs abroad. That is SCAM).
Those who know the
people whose photos are in the fake IDs are encouraged to report them through email:
airtipinfo@dmw.gov.ph or send a private message to the DMW Facebook page.
