Agencies Promising Jobs in Middle East? Beware!!

Middle East is a dream place for millions. Hundred thousands migrate to the region with big dream in their eyes of earning enormous salaries and living life king size. But, sometimes these dreams are shattered as soon as they move to the new city and realize that they have been bluffed.

With the increasing preference for jobs in Middle East, a number of agencies have opened up promising to fetch jobs for the aspirants. A few cases have been reported by expats claiming that they have been fooled all the while by the fraudulent job agencies that lured them with plush jobs. Such recruitment firms are operating freely around the country and duping more and more young men everyday. Many big dreams are devastated when the realization of being taken for a cruel ride is dawned on the starry eyed. What is told about the place and the job prior to leaving the native country is entirely different from the real encounter.

The working conditions are slave like inducing nightmarish experiences in an alien land. This is especially true for unskilled and sometimes the semi-skilled workers who move out of their homelands in the hope of making mega bucks but are trapped and left cheated. They are lured into well paying jobs in Middle East where they are then made to slog for hours. These fraud agencies charge huge sums of money as high as 2 lakhs from the already poverty stricken people in grave need for jobs. The excuse of procuring passport and visa works fine with them, making it easier to convince almost anybody to empty their pockets.

It is extremely significant to be alert at all times and to not get swayed with attractive offers. Always check the authenticity of the recruitment agency and the employer before making the final move.
