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.

SOYEZ OBJECTIFS ET PRUDENTS !!!
