POEA warns vs new permit-to-work coaching scam

The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration over the weekend warned prospective overseas Filipino workers against a new permit-to-work coaching scam.

In a post on its Facebook account, the POEA said the email-based scam targets Filipinos seeking jobs as health care workers in Canada.

"Another 'permit to work coaching' scam! Please ignore if you received this e-mail," it said.

The POEA said the email claims to be from Saint Elizabeth Health Care, and informs recipients they were chosen for the position of a Registered Nurse.

It said the email instructed the recipients to attend the "Permit to work Coaching" on Jan. 11 and 12 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Citing the email, the POEA said the scam promises a deployment date anytime in May 2014.

However, the recipients are told to pay a coaching fee of P3,720.

The email, supposedly from one Lesley Sawden, human resources manager of Saint Elizabeth Health Care, claims the coaching is to be done in Makati City.  — LBG, GMA News
