How to Avoid Job Scams When Working Abroad

Working abroad starts with choosing the right partner. Use this checklist before you send money or personal documents.

Before you pay anything

• Ask for a written contract and employer details before any fee.
• Verify the company domain and email match official branding.
• Prefer agencies listed on transparent directories such as Job Agency Bank.

Red flags

• Pressure to pay before you have a signed offer.
• No verifiable address or registration.
• Communication only via random WhatsApp numbers.

Use official sources

Cross-check permits and employers on government portals for your target country. When in doubt, pause and verify.
