What to do now

Fake job or visa offer

Follow these steps in order.

  1. 1Do not pay for a job, training, visa or registration. Real employers never charge you to work.
  2. 2Do not send your CNIC, passport or photos to unknown recruiters.
  3. 3Jobs that pay you for likes or small tasks and then ask for a deposit are always scams.
  4. 4Check that an overseas recruiter is licensed by the Bureau of Emigration and Overseas Employment.
  5. 5If you already paid, stop paying. Scammers keep inventing new fees.
  6. 6Report the account or number to NCCIA on 1799.
