THE Philippine Overseas Employment Administration has warned the public from falling prey to fake jobs in Canada being offered through the e-mail and social media.
In a press statement, the POEA said it received a forwarded e-mail from a victim that he was selected for a supposed employment in Canada with employer representatives already in the Philippines to interview applicants.
The sender promised him non-payment of placement and processing fees, but applicants are asked to pay P3,800 for slot reservation.
The e-mail sender claims existing partnership with a licensed recruitment agency in the Philippines for the supposed conduct of the seminar and processing of employment documents.
Various jobs are offered including farm laborers, fruit pickers, factory workers, medical staff, caregivers, engineers, truck drivers, and office workers.
The scammer entices applicants by offering too-good-to-be-true remunerations such as high salaries, 250 percent overtime pay, and paid vacation.
