MANILA, Philippines—The Philippine National Police Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP-CIDG) on Monday warned nurses who want to work in the United Kingdom of a modus operandi of some agencies guaranteeing scholarships.
Citing Police Superintendent Bernard Yang, chief of the investigation unit of the Task Force Against Illegal Recruitment, Radyo Inquirer reported that some agencies offering visa processing assistance to the UK also offer scholarships and job opportunities to Filipino nurses.
Agencies usually require P200,000 to P300,000 placement fees from their recruits.
However, upon checking with the British embassy, they found that these offers were bogus and were not recognized by the UK Border Agency.
Last year, the CIDG has closed down 16 agencies operating similar modus operandi, Radyo Inquirer said.
