SCAMMERS again!

Yesterday, while i was busy finishing new online tasks, a friend approached me for advice. He just receive an email accepting him to work as nurse in UK. I was excited for him since he was one of the friends at work leaving 2 weeks from now. However the more i read the letter, the more i doubted it.

A certain agency gets applicants for UK. And with Leo, they told him that he was accepted in a big hopsital in UK. However, he has to undergo 2 days of embassy coaching. This was what made me doubt it. I never heard of a coaching for any embassy interview. Much more, he was to pay P 3000 for it and that he has to hurry for the slots were limited.

I told him to check on POEA. And to my surprise, it was unlisted even if the email gave a detailed contact information about the agency. I guess, that was the main purpose of it..to make it;s readers believe that this one was for real. And stating that it's "MONEY BACK GUARANTEE", makes it more appealing. But not to me.

I  disgust people who do these things, playing with the desire of the Nurses to go out of the country badly. Most of my colleagues do not have that much but amazingly finds a way to pay fees for employment contracts overseas. It's devastating to find out that all the hardships and the money ends up in a fraud.

I know it's unideal for a nurse to say bad fate to someone ...i do hope that they don't end up in a hospital bed someday with a nurse unwilling to take care of them. Then only they will realize that the very life they took care through scamming , will be the same life a nurse can decide whether to help survive and continue living.
