Work abroad.

Work abroad.
Four enterprising residents of Chisinau organized their agency. It allegedly was looking for work in Italy, Greece, Portugal. Of course, the ladies did not send anyone anywhere, but simply "collected" money. Law enforcement agencies found out about 15 victims of this fraud. But it is possible that there were much more. Each client "for a passport and visa" paid $ 300. No one received money back. Moreover, the “company” lasted about a year, but was not legally registered.
The type of fraud associated with sending to work abroad has already become “classic”. A huge number of our neighbors (residents of Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova) become victims of scams on the territory of Russia. For example, once an advertisement appeared on the television of Belarus, according to which builders and drivers were invited to work in Moscow. It was promised free housing, food and a salary of several hundred dollars a week. In rented apartments, telephone dispatchers barely had time to invite anyone for an interview. And one day, recruited workers come to the capital. Already on the territory of Russia from all participants of the trip they collect $ 100 each for processing the necessary papers. Then, they are planted near the doors of one of the consulting firms for employment (its employees suggested the visitors addresses where they could be claimed, but did not guarantee anything). As a result, Belarusians were simply deceived. Some filed a complaint with the police, but failed to achieve anything. Although the swindler’s personality is known, he has already taken possession of money in Russia, moreover, he has fulfilled the promise to “help” with employment.
One of the most popular methods of fraud can not but include “Work abroad”. Modern swindlers no longer promise to visit the golden mountains, but work much more skillfully and more cunningly from the point of view of the law. And simpletons have become more difficult to find. Therefore, scammers went in search of victims in small cities, where the level of trust is still quite high.
Newspapers of free announcements today are full of such offers: "Work abroad, a salary of $ 200 per week." But they are already accustomed to them and know what lies behind such a promise in the best case is fraud (you lose several hundred rubles for filling out the “necessary papers”), in the worst case scenario, a victim can be sold into slavery abroad.
Legal consultation.
The State Duma of the Russian Federation has tightened administrative responsibility for illegal activities in this area. Changes were made to the Code of Administrative Offenses, according to which intermediary organizations would have to pay a fine if they act without a license or violate the terms of the license when hiring Russian citizens abroad. Thus, a recruiting agency for work abroad, found to be fraud, can be fined 300 thousand rubles.
For those who committed larger scams, part 3 of article 122 of the RM Criminal Code “Fraud that caused major damage to the owner” provides a fine of 150 minimum wages. For damage on an especially large scale punishable under another article of the Criminal Code - 123/1 "Theft of property of the owner in especially large amounts." This article provides for punishment in the form of imprisonment for a term of 10 to 25 years.

Tricks of recruitment agencies: work abroad or Berry

Tricks of recruitment agencies offering jobs abroad or Where berries attract us
Not a completely new, but rather interesting kind of work is offered on the site fintrud.com. Everyone is invited to work in Finland. The essence of the work is simple: picking wild berries. Since I had already heard about such work, as well as about how the candidate was promoted for money during the registration period, I decided to read more.

Information is offered as follows. First, a rosy description of life in Finland, the work itself, living conditions and so on. Rainbow, because everything is written with a fair amount of optimism, accompanied by a bunch of beautiful photos, etc.

However, while I was reading, something did not seem to me that this work was such a paradise.
“You can earn 20 euros a day, you can 100, but you can do nothing”
Given that the cost of one kilogram of cloudberries is not more than 10 euros (in previous years), blueberries not more than 2 euros, and lingonberries less than 1 euro, then it is clear that at least 2 kilograms of berries must be collected per day. This is probably possible. You can gain more if there are berries. However, imagine that this must be done every day! In a week, your back will not straighten!
We look further.
“Visa 35 euros (for self-submission to the consulate)
insurance 30 euro
car rental 80 euros (for the entire berry collection period)
rental of 90 euros (advance payment of 15 days of accommodation at the campsite)
road from Murmansk 50 euros
fintrud.com services 195 euros (profit and all expenses for organizing the trip) »
Total, 480 euros. Provided that you are coming from Murmansk. That is, we pay extra for the road to Murmansk. This means that with a good harvest, five days, and with a bad crop, all three weeks only work to recoup the costs of your trip. And then pay more for your stay !! And do not forget that working in the fresh air increases your appetite, and you will eat something at your own expense.

Well, well, they still agree and, in spite of everything, are determined to go to Finland for hard labor. How to apply? And now the most interesting. Yesterday, when I wanted to see this section, I saw the following inscription: Due to the fact that we have many comers, registration has become paid. Send SMS to a short number, etc.

Unfortunately, I did not see all the details about the cost of SMS messages. However, today, having looked in the same section, I have not seen this message. It just indicated the phone number of the Finnish Embassy and the form for sending a message (completely free!). It seems to be free, because to send a message for free, you need to register on the site, and to register on it, you must enter the code received on your mobile phone.

Here is the registration form:
"Username: *
Name / Login: *
Email: *
Password: *
The confirmation: *
Enter the password received on your mobile phone »
I didn’t enter the mobile number, it is not known whether the code will be sent to me for free.

In any case, it is clear that this is a complete divorce. Perhaps this work exists (which I personally doubt very much), but someone is clearly trying to raise money for it.
I will write about the tricks used by unscrupulous! recruitment agencies that send berries abroad. I myself did not go, but I was on farms (in England) and talked with many who came to earn money (my school friends, whom I have known for many years, among them). Someone was lucky with the intermediary much more than others.
So, the tricks:
1. Payment for registration. Perhaps the most transparent way to take money (e.g. fintrud). I do not say at all that the company is left-wing and cannot provide services, but if you need to recruit 10 people for a trip abroad, why not at the same time take a little money from a hundred ...
2. They say "you can work as much as you want, pay hourly" (well, or per kg., There are already provided data on how many berries, fruits, mushrooms "usually" are collected per hour). Arriving. It turns out that the maximum working day in this country is 8 hours (Believe me, employers sometimes get such fines that they leave them to stay at home forcibly). This means that the maximum that can be obtained in a couple of months drops sharply. We call the agent, they say that there were people who worked more, negotiate with the employer yourself. (There were, or not, no longer to check, and the agent is crystal clear, you cannot convict of a lie).
3. Not the season. The summer was arid (well, or too rainy), few berries, there was almost nothing to collect. "Sorry, we are not to blame for this, for the past 15 years everything has been all right." And you can’t argue (especially since such an option is spoken out in the contract)!
4. "You can’t be accommodated in cheap but comfortable wagons - everything is busy, or rent a house for a few people, or spend the night in a field, or go home." Costs increase, I don’t want to go home with a minus. Often, unfortunately, agencies provide prices for housing "from the ceiling", if you're lucky, you can count on it.
5. I also saw a brothel on the farm, I don’t even want to remember ... But this is an exception, and not a rule, the girls (at least the majority) knew that they were not going to pick berries.
If I remember anything else from our stories abroad, I will write for sure.

And who wondered why European farmers prefer workers from eastern Europe (and there are so many) under such conditions? A sort of Ramhat and Jumshut. Because boys and girls have no choice. They will work all season under any conditions, trying to beat off the price of tickets and fees to the intermediary. Any local European would have sent a few letters long ago (the number of letters varies in different countries, in Russia it is still minimal among all where I was).

You can say about Thailand (it’s not special, just assumptions, but justified by other experiments). If you sleep in six in one tent and there is one doshirak a day, then you can really earn.

In general, a little positive. Such work is a very good way to see the country and speak their language, but:
- Look for agencies with a good reputation. Now this is not a problem, the amount of information on the Internet is more than enough.
- Do not believe all the tales of a huge salary. The numbers that are often provided can only be under the most favorable conditions. Most likely, it will only be possible to pay expenses, well, maybe a little for your pocket expenses.
- Never ride alone.
