Dole warns of fraudulent job offers in UK

The Department of Labor and Employment (Dole) had warned the public anew of another fraudulent scheme preying on Filipinos wanting to work in London.

Acting on a report of the Philippine Overseas Labor Office in London, Dole said that a fake online account, ([email protected]), claiming to be that of the Philippine Embassy in the United Kingdom, was recruiting Filipinos for nonexistent jobs.

The fraudulent scheme was exposed when a report reached the Philippine Trade and Investment Center (PTIC) in London about the fake e-mail address, which offers UK working visas.

The PTIC quickly responded and clarified that the e-mail address was not of the Philippine embassy nor any Philippine government agency. —Tina Santos
