Have you been very careful when applying for a job overseas? Recently in Parañaque City, a woman who deceived an applicant over an overseas job got arrested as a result of a successful entrapment operation by the local police, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of Manila Bulletin. Some parts in boldface…
A woman who conned an applicant for a job in the Netherlands and Japan was arrested by the Parañaque City Police in an entrapment operation on July 16.
The suspect was identified as Mary Joyce, 26, while her accomplice, Nellica, remains at large. She was arrested at around 5:20 p.m. along Quirino Avenue, Barangay Don Galo, Parañaque City.
The police said the victim, identified as Jennilyn, 29, reported that the suspects misrepresented themselves that they are connected with Dimension Manpower Agency Inc.
Jennilyn said the two promised her deployment in the Netherlands or in Japan on July 29 and asked for P175,000 as processing fee.
The victim also stated that when asked for an official receipt and update of her deployment, the suspects failed to provide any and instead demanded an additional P16,000 which prompted her to report to the police.
The police said the agency issued a certification notifying Jennilyn that the suspects are not connected with them, which led the police to conduct an entrapment operation.
The police immediately arrested Mary Joyce after receiving two P1,000 bills and 14 pieces of boodle money from the victim.
Let me end this post by asking you readers: What do you think about this recent development? If you are a resident of Parañaque, do you think that more scammers and fake job offers will multiply locally over the next six months? If you are looking for work in another country, do you do research first before applying with any agency?
