The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Sri Lanka has warned the public about fraudulent employment schemes offering jobs in the Netherlands, revealing that several individuals have already fallen victim to such scams.
In a statement issued on Thursday (12), the embassy said certain parties were misleading job seekers with false employment promises and circulating forged letters purportedly issued by Dutch immigration authorities.
The embassy clarified that the Netherlands does not generally issue work visas for most types of employment, although genuine opportunities may exist in exceptional cases, including highly skilled and high-tech positions.
It stressed that the embassy does not facilitate recruitment for employment in the Netherlands.
The embassy urged Sri Lankans to verify employment offers directly with prospective employers before making financial commitments.
It also advised victims of such scams to seek immediate legal assistance from Sri Lankan law enforcement authorities. (Newswire)
