1 · Find the company yourself
Look up the employer independently — don't use links or numbers the recruiter gave you. Confirm it's a real, registered business.
2 · Contact through official channels
Call or email the company using contact details you found on your own, and ask if the role and recruiter are real.
3 · Never surrender your passport
No legitimate employer needs to hold your passport. Keep your documents with you.
4 · Be wary of video 'proof'
Deepfake recruiters and offices exist — a convincing video call is not verification.
5 · Tell someone your plans
Share the offer, the itinerary and the contacts with family before any travel.
