THE Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) on Thursday closed down a shipping company posing as a recruitment agency.
The DMW said the R. T. M. Maritime Consultancy Services Corp. that RTM does not have a valid license or accreditation from the department but received and processed applications and referred these to its partner manning agency.RTM collected 'consultation' fees ranging from P105,000 to as much as P140,000 from applicants who were promised fake jobs as seafarers in Dubai.
'We cannot allow these unlicensed agencies posing as 'consultancy firms' to continue offering supposedly lucrative job postings to our overseas Filipino workers and goading them to pay excessive amounts of money. This is criminal and unconscionable,' Migrant Workers Officer-in-Charge Hans Cacdac said.The closure comes in the wake of email complaints sent separately by alias 'Ernesto' and 'Dindo' to the DMW earlier this year.
