February 16, 2010, MANILA, Philippines — An illegal recruitment operation is currently being perpetrated by a syndicate using Spain as a destination for Filipino workers, the Philippine embassy in Spain said in its report to the Department of Foreign Affairs.
The embassy named the company allegedly recruiting Filipino workers under this scheme as Previsto Ferrocariel Guiscoanagin, with address at Calle Placentinos 18B, 32005, Barcelona, Spain.
The syndicate is using the email address espanolconsulate@europe.com to communicate with Filipino workers and lead them to believe that this is the e-mail address of the Philippine embassy in Madrid.
The Philippine consulate general in Barcelona has 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 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 in the country concerned, the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration, or the Department of Labor and Employment. - INQUIRER.net
