How to Check That the Agency Is Legitimate
The post shows a license number, which is a good sign, but a license number in a post is not proof by itself. Scammers can copy real license numbers or fake them. We could not independently confirm this agency’s license or the job order for Croatia from public sources, so please do your own checks before applying.
1. Verify the License With the DMW
The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) regulates recruitment agencies that send Filipinos abroad. Check its official website, dmw.gov.ph, for the list of licensed agencies and any advisories about a company. You can also contact the DMW directly to confirm that the license is valid and active.
2. Ask for the Approved Job Order
A licensed agency should be able to show that its Croatia job order is approved. Ask for the details and confirm them with the DMW.
3. Visit the Office
If you are near Makati, visit the listed office, check the signage and ask for official documents.
4. Confirm Through Official Channels
Only trust contact details that match the agency’s official website and its listing with the DMW. Be careful with new or unknown social media pages that copy the same post.
Warning Signs of Illegal Recruitment
Protect yourself from scams by watching for these red flags:
- The agency asks for large upfront payments before a job order is verified
- You are told to use a tourist visa to start work abroad
- Payments are requested through personal bank accounts or e-wallets
- You are not given official receipts
- The agency promises a guaranteed job or visa
- You are pressured to pay quickly or keep the offer secret
If you suspect illegal recruitment, report it to the DMW or the nearest police office.
