The job situation in Austria
is miserable. But this is a chance for some clever criminals. They offer
interesting jobs in Manila. All applicants will be invited for a personal
interview in Manila. They only have to pay the ticket, the rest will be
organized by the new company. Well, the one who pay loose their money.
Mr. X. was careful and checked first with the <Arbeiterkammer>. He had
read an AD from a company called "Motor Star
Inc. Philippines", and he applied for a job as the head of the depot.
The response was favorable, they called in Austria and invited him for an
appointment in Manila. He only became suspicious when the company asked him to
transfer 460 Euro via Western Union for the flight ticket. Mr. X asked that the
ticket should be send first before he transferred the money.
Sorry, this is not possible. Somebody already misused the ticket and simply made a vacation in the Philippines. But "Motor Star Inc." could offer the following: He should transfer the money via Western Union, but should not forward the 10 digit code number required to withdraw the money. This should happen when he would be in Manila. Well, the <Arbeiterkammer> found out that the company "Motor Star Inc.". does not exist, and furthermore it is quite easy to withdraw the money from Western Union even without the code.
Big Warning: Never transfer advance cash wehn you are not absolutely sure that everything is all right!!!!!
