MANILA, Philippines – A recruitment scam luring overseas Filipino workers to work in Spain has been uncovered, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said Tuesday.
The DFA said the Philippine embassy in Spain reported that the company allegedly recruiting OFWs is Previsto Ferrocariel Guiscoanagin, with address at Calle Placentinos 18B, 32005, Barcelona, Spain.
"The public is advised to be wary of job offers from this company and to first check the veracity of any job offer and company with the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) in the country concerned, the Philippine Overseas Employment Agency, or the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE)," the DFA said.
The embassy added that the syndicate is using the e-mail address espanolconsulate@europe.com.
"This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to communicate with Filipino workers and lead them to believe that this is the email address of the Philippine Embassy in Madrid," the embassy said in a statement.
The Philippine Consulate-General in Barcelona also verified that there is no such address in Barcelona.
"There is a Calle de los Placentinos in the province of Salamanca, while the zip code 32005 corresponds to the province of Ourense, not Catalonia," the Consulate said. - abs-cbnNEWS.com | 02/16/2010 3:50 PM
