| DMW says the scammers often assume the identities of licensed recruiters |
The Department of Migrant Workers has warned the public to be wary of fake overseas employment offers made on social media platforms and websites, and to always verify if the agency they are dealing with is licensed to recruit for jobs abroad.
The DMW’s warning is contained in Advisory No 26,
series of 2024, signed by Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac and published on
Tuesday, Sept. 17.
The advisory said those who advertise fake job
offers often misuse the names, addresses and logos of legitimate recruitment
agencies, but are actually involved in direct hiring schemes without DMW’s
approval.

One indication that the offer is a scam is when
applicants are asked to make immediate payment of fees through electronic
transfer, said the DMW.
It also advised that any transaction related to
overseas job placements should always be conducted within the registered
business address of a licensed recruitment agency, and any fee collected must be
covered by an official receipt which shows the amount paid and purpose of
payment.
Filipino overseas job seekers are encouraged to
always verify the legitimacy of any recruitment agency they are dealing with, and
its approved job orders through the DMW website (https://dmw.gov.ph/).
Anybody who detects any suspicious or suspected
illegal online recruitment is encouraged to file a report with the DMW Migrant
Workers Protection Bureau (MWPB) at their email address mwpb@dmw.gov.ph or
through their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/dmwairtip
