Red flags and scams
- Anyone who asks you to pay for a job offer, a permit or a “guaranteed” visa.
- Adverts with very high pay for beginners, or with no interview.
- Contact only by WhatsApp, Telegram or a free email address, with no company website or address.
- Look-alike government sites. Use only the official government website for the country.
If you think you have been targeted, stop paying, keep every message and receipt, and report it to Action Fraud. You can also email us at admin@jobsbroads.com.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy citizenship?
