MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) warned jobseekers yesterday against fake job offers in London.

The DOLE issued the warning following reports from the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) in London that a fake email address, philippineembassyunitedkingdom@gmail.com has been recruiting overseas workers for non-existent jobs.

According to the POLO, the Philippine Trade & Investment Centre (PTIC) in London clarified that the email address is neither that of the Philippine embassy nor of any Philippine government agency.

Labor attaché Reydeluz Conferido sought the assistance of other government agencies to track down the source of the email addres, and immediately file charges against those behind it to protect Filipino workers.

“We hope that we could mobilize the other government resources to track its source and bring to justice those who are so brazen in this illegal activity,” Conferido said.

The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration reminded Filipinos jobseekers who plan to work overseas to visit to verify the license and permits of recruitment agencies and the legitimacy of the job orders.
