Check the offer before sharing documents, sending money or buying tickets

What to verify before agreeing

• The full name and role of the person you are speaking with
• The company or agency name and public contact details
• Country, city, housing address and work location
• Payment, schedule, expenses, penalties and exit conditions
• Who buys tickets, handles documents and meets you on arrival

Common scam warning signs

• Pressure to send money urgently to an unknown person
• Refusal to provide written terms or join a video call
• Requests for passwords, SMS codes, card details or Telegram access
• Threats, isolation from family or a ban on sharing your address
• Guaranteed income claims without clear duties and expenses

Documents and money

Do not give your original passport to another person for storage. For an initial check, hide unnecessary details on a copy and mark the purpose for which it was shared.

Keep a separate emergency fund for a return ticket. Do not send large payments without a clear agreement, identified recipient and proof of the service.

A safer travel plan

• Share your route, address and arrival contact with someone you trust
• Keep protected cloud copies of documents and tickets
• Check entry, work and stay rules on official government sources
• Arrange regular check-ins and a code word
• Save embassy and local emergency contacts before departure

If conditions change or you feel threatened

Move to a safe public place and contact someone you trust and local emergency services. Do not confront alone a person who holds documents or limits your movement.
