Attention Job Seekers in Maritime Shipping and Offshore Sector. Frauds in Ship Jobs, Merchant Navy Employment and Offshore recruitment.

A lot is going on in ripping off merchant seamen seeking maritime ship jobs, ITF (International Trade Fedration) has again warned on this issue.

The point is when a job is offered against advance payment from the potential employee, there is always something to suspect about the credibility of the company or agency offering employment.

When a company offers high salary but asks for joining fees in advance, the seamen must understand that they may be loosing the very money they are handing over and may not get any thing in return other than disappointment.

ITF has warned about lot of frauds in hiring seamen, promising high wages onboard cruise ships, cargo ships and off shore installations.

Details of these frauds and misleading email information sent to seamen are added in the 'Maritime Shipping - Articles and Essays' section on the pakistaniMARITIME.Com web site. Read the relevant article 'Attention Job Seekers in Maritime Shipping and Offshore Sector. Frauds in Ship Jobs, Merchant Navy Employment and Offshore recruitment. You will find links to ITF web site pages and documentation detailing these well planned 'robberies'.

One such fraudulent company submitted their link in our Pakistan Maritime Links Page. ITF representative informed us about it and we immediately removed the link from our pages. Email received from ITF is also uploaded to the above article.

So, dear merchant navy employees and ship employment seekers be careful when you come across a job offer asking for money from you before you are onboard!!!
