UNSCRUPULOUS PERSONS POSING AS STAFF MEMBERS OF THE MINISTRY AND ISSUING FARM WORK APPROVAL LETTERS
For Immediate Release: Friday, February 15, 2019, Kingston.
It has been brought to the attention of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security that unscrupulous persons, purporting to be agents of the Ministry, have been issuing approval letters to persons; advising that they have been selected to participate in the Ministry’s Overseas Employment (Farm Work) Programme.
The Ministry wishes to advise the public that it does not issue approval letters to applicants. Rather, the shortlisted persons are invited to attend an interview at the Ministry’s offices.
The Ministry also wishes to remind the public that ABSOLUTELY NO FEES ARE TO BE PAID TO ANYONE FOR PARTICIPATION IN
ANY OF THE MINISTRY’S OVERSEAS WORK PROGRAMMES. If you have been approached and offered placement in the Ministry’s Overseas Employment Programmes for a fee, report the matter IMMEDIATELY to the nearest police.
The Ministry is emphasizing that any person engaging in conspiracy or collusion to illegally gain access to the Overseas Employment Programmes will be permanently barred.
Do not get scammed. When in Doubt, Check it Out!
