POEA Warns About Fake UNICEF Job Offers

  Sep 4, 2012

 Filipinos who are looking for viable employment opportunities abroad are one of the prime targets of unscrupulous individuals and an easy way for a scammer to contact them is thru email. 

 

It is therefore not surprising that email job scams abound. Just recently, the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) exposed a new scam that involves fake job offers from United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). This fake job offer requires one to undergo training for a fee.  

 

According to POEA Chief, Hans Leo J. Cacdac, the UNICEF Manila office notified them about this new scam and denied that the email comes from them.

 

In the fake email, the receiver is informed that he/she is accepted for a job but it will require a training that will take place in London after the hopeful jobseeker send the required fees.

 

The article in the POEA website displays the statement from the UNICEF. The UNICEF  said that they are “aware of fictitious employment offers being circulated via email or originating from online job boards. Many of these schemes consist of an alleged offer of employment or contract with UNICEF in return for the payment of fees or providing personal or banking information.”

 

According to the UNICEF their recruitment process doest not collect any payment from the applicants and that they only post their job advertisements on it’s global employment website or on the website of its Country Offices/National Committees.

 

They also make use of trusted and established media, newspapers and online job boards to advertise their vacancies.
