Fake job offers are one of the most common tools used by fraudulent recruitment networks to extract fees from hopeful workers before disappearing. Verifying an offer properly, before paying anything, can protect you from significant financial loss and worse.

Check the Employer's Registration

A genuine employer will have a verifiable business registration in the destination country. Ask for the company's registration number and, where possible, independently confirm it through official government business registries.

Contact the Employer Directly

Reach out to the company directly, through contact details you find independently (not only those provided by the recruiter), to confirm the job offer is genuine and the terms match what you were told.

Be Wary of Guaranteed Approval Claims

No legitimate agency or employer can guarantee a foreign government will approve your visa. Anyone promising guaranteed approval is a significant red flag.

Verify Recruitment Agency Licensing

In Bangladesh, recruitment agencies sending workers abroad should hold proper licensing through the Bureau of Manpower, Employment and Training (BMET). Always confirm this license before paying any recruitment fee.

Never Pay Large Upfront Fees Without Documentation

Legitimate recruitment processes involve documented, traceable payments tied to specific services. Be cautious of demands for large cash payments without receipts or contracts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I suspect a job offer is fake?
Do not pay any further fees, and report the offer to BMET or local law enforcement. You can also bring the offer to us for a second opinion before proceeding.

Is it normal to pay a fee before receiving a job offer?
Legitimate recruitment processes generally involve fees tied to specific documented services after an offer is confirmed, not large upfront payments before any offer exists.
