Fraudulent Recruitment / Employment Offers

It has come to BLS's attention that, individuals misrepresenting themselves as BLS' agents or representatives have approached people to offer fraudulent/fictitious employment opportunities, with the intent to steal personal information or solicit money from people. BLS encourage the Visa Applicant/user to exercise caution and common sense when receiving any such employment offer, which requires payment of any fees/money, or promises a work visa in exchange for money. The said offers are completely fake and not valid. BLS is not a Recruitment agency and does not offer recruitment services. Scammers operate primarily via the internet, email, phone etc. BLS warns people to beware of such scams.

Please be advised that, BLS is a visa processing company and works only with government and diplomatic missions to fulfil their administrative requirements of visa application processing. Neither BLS nor its representatives will ask for money from individuals under any circumstances to lure them with employment opportunities either in BLS or outside. If you receive any offer that purports to be from BLS, which ask for money, these types of offers are fraudulent.

Warning signs of recruitment fraud.

The following are some examples of recruitment fraud which are in violation of BLS's processes and ethical practices:

• The email is not sent from an official BLS e-mail address but from a free e-mail service such as: Hotmail, Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, etc. It is also possible that, the email is sent from a fake email address.
• The Visa Applicant/Users are asked to disclose private or confidential information.
• The Visa Applicant/Users are asked to be interviewed over the phone or via an instant-messenger type program.
• The Visa Applicant/Users are requested to pay fees/money.
• The Visa Applicant/Users are requested to complete bogus recruitment documentations such as an application or employment visa forms, (the BLS name and logo could be forged/fabricated and featured on the documentation without authority).
• Insistence on urgency.
• Money will be requested for processing Work Permits, Visa applications or the like.

Such actions are presumably intended to defraud or obtain personal information from the victims.

The activities of these individuals involve criminal and civil liabilities. While BLS takes such matter seriously and reserves its right to contact competent law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute such illegal activities, it is often difficult to locate and prosecute these individuals.

Therefore, if the Visa Applicant/Users receive a request, either in writing or verbally, for an interview or a job offer that is believed to be or might be fraudulent or suspicious, BLS urges the users to disregard them and verify the same with BLS at communications@blsturkey-vietnam.com

If the Visa Applicant/Users come to know that a fraud is being perpetrated, BLS encourages to forthwith contact the local police and/or any competent authorities and also to keep BLS informed by reporting the fraud to our Compliance officer at acco@blsturkey-vietnam.com

Under no circumstances will BLS be liable or responsible for any loss, damages, expenses or inconvenience resulting from these unauthorized persons and/or activities.
