Protect Yourself

Avoid Scams: Red Flags

Know the warning signs of fraudulent recruitment schemes

RED FLAGS - Avoid Anyone Who:

  • Guarantees visa approval or job placement
  • Asks for large upfront fees before any services
  • Promises "too good to be true" salaries
  • Has no physical office or verifiable business
  • Uses only WhatsApp/Telegram with no website
  • Pressures you to pay immediately
  • Offers to "buy" you a job
  • Can't provide written contracts or agreements

GREEN FLAGS - Look For:

  • Clear, written requirements and processes
  • Transparent pricing with breakdowns
  • Honest timeline expectations
  • No guaranteed visa/job promises
  • Verifiable company information
  • Professional website with contact details
  • Document verification before matching
  • Willingness to answer questions

Remember:

  • No one can guarantee visa approval. Only Romanian authorities decide.
  • Legitimate recruiters prepare you to meet requirements, they don't "sell" visas.
  • If it sounds too easy, it probably is. Real processes take time and documentation.
