I am reposting this because recently there have been many inquiries about job offers that are being sent via email.
If you receive an overseas job offer via email, beware. Email scams are proliferating offering high paying jobs to overseas multinational companies. Here is how to detect an email scam:
- You will be told that they found your resume through a job bank.
- The company will require you to undergo a seminar/training fee.
- You will be tasked to pay a reservation fee, OWWA membership and other taxes.
Once you have paid the amount, the person will simply disappear without communication.
To protect yourself from these types of frauds, check and verify the existence of the company and call up the person who sent you the email using the office number of the company.

So for recruiters who offers employment in South Korea by giving applicants a religious visa should not be entertained

The POEA reported that they have received complaints that a number of Korean citizens have offered employment to Filipino applicants and then disappeared. The illegal recruiters who were identified as Cho Chang Kuy and Oh Gyuk Su apparently collected more than Php 7 million from their victims.
