ATTENTION !!! Soyez vigilant ! N'envoyez pas de l'argent à toute personne supposée vous faciliter un recrutement ou vous recruter. Ne versez aucune somme d'argent en échange d'un contrat de travail potentiel ou pour suivre une formation préalable à l'embauche.

Méfiez-vous des supposées offres d'emploi pour certains pays soi-disant à forte demande de main d'oeuvre (Canada, Australie, etc.). Il y a de fortes chances que vous soyez victimes des escrocs ou des criminels organisés.

Les arnaqueurs et criminels de tout acabit rivalisent d'ingéniosité pour abuser des chercheurs d'emploi.
