Job Scam Victimizing Filipino Teachers

[MikeLigalig.com]

The recruiter, West Coast Employment Agency in Los Angeles, is being investigated by the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Labor, Concepcion said. The case has also been reported to the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), she added.

Concepcion said the four teachers were among 35 Cebu City-based tutors who were recruited by the employment agency beginning in 2007 and charged $10,000 each for placement as teachers under the H1B or work authorization program for nonimmigrant professionals.

klaro gyod nga way pasaylo ning ilad.  recruitment is a very cruel business.  yet all that one needs to do to avoid being victimized is to go to the poea for counterchecking and to never pay without being issued a receipt.  we can say that these are deterrents.  maayo na lang naay deterrent kay sa ma-shot sa taro laktod.
