Fraud around going abroad arrives in a small number of recognisable shapes. Here is each warning sign — what to stop at, and what to do instead.

1. The warning sign
Payment was requested to a personal bank or mobile account
What to do
Never send money to a personal mobile wallet or bank account. A legitimate organisation collects payment through a defined process, with a receipt.
2. The warning sign
The message promises a guaranteed visa — that is not possible
What to do
Nobody can guarantee a visa. Hearing that promise is itself the warning — do not pay.
3. The warning sign
Cash payment was requested
What to do
Cash leaves no evidence and is very hard to recover. Do not hand over a single taka without a receipt.
4. The warning sign
The visa class does not match the work described
What to do
You cannot work on a visit visa or a so-called “free visa”. Do not travel for work without the correct work visa or permit.
5. The warning sign
No valid agency licence was found
What to do
Ask for the agency's licence number and check it. Never pay recruitment money to an agency without an active licence.
6. The warning sign
More money is being asked than the declared cost
What to do
Every job has a maximum lawful cost to you. If more is demanded, do not pay it — report it.
7. The warning sign
The contract differs from the earlier offer
What to do
Compare the final contract against the salary and role you were shown. If they differ, get help before signing.
8. The warning sign
The authenticity of this document could not be verified
What to do
A logo or a stamp does not make a document real. Confirm directly with the issuing organisation through its official channel.

Do not pay anyone outside this process.
