If you received a random text to anyone asking you to go to an office with a company name not so famous or never heard better immediately verify the authenticity of said advertiser through our Customer Service Hotline 914-8000 loc. 804 or through the local offices of DOLE and POEA.
If you are a victim of a scam and you don't have the luxury of time to go to any DOLE or POEA offices you can send your reports or complaints to www.reklamo.ph and be heard by public agencies and the media.
JobsDB recommends:
Verify before you trust. Always keep the following safety tips in entertaining online job offers:
Do NOT use any contact information in the job posting. Apply through the Apply Now function of jobsDB, this ensures that they have a record of your application and can help you set up the necessary security measures you need against scammers;
If in doubt about the website, use http://www.domainwhitepages.com/ which will show you the domain registration record including the domain’s owner; the contact information for the website – email, address, and phone number. And if the domain registration is “private” with the real ownership details unavailable, proceed with caution;
Exercise caution whenever a recruiter asks you for payment in exchange for employment, even if said payment will supposedly be used for processing documents or completing training courses;
Immediately verify the authenticity of said advertiser through our Customer Service Hotline 914-8000 loc. 804 or through the local offices of DOLE and POEA;
Never give out personal information. Prior to a legitimate job interview, do not send via the internet sensitive information such as your SSS number, TIN, bank account and credit card numbers, username and password to a so-called employer – or to anyone for that matter
So enough of this blabbering. Indicated below are the articles and the website that indicates the full story.

Scam companies according to: http://scamtodayexpose.blogspot.com/2012/05/beware-please-repost.html
BEWARE! (please repost)
ATTENTION: Beware of this MODUS located in cubao and ortigas. These companies are recruiting people from different sites and newspaper ads promising them a good job, but they will not hire you unless you pay 500.00 pesos(for Accredation Fee). What the hell?! You're looking for decent job,right? Why do I have to pay 500? That's not all..after you've paid that you will be attending their orientation, after that they will tell you to comeback the next day(mon-sat), but here comes the 'shocker'..now that you've comeback that means you're interested,right? This time you'll be having a 'dental service' that's worth 1,500.00 pesos. HOLY CRAP!! I blogged this to promote awareness to everyone and to alert our government about this. I'm not saying that every company that goes with the similar system is illegal, well some are doing it legally. You just need to check their license and registration, such as Barangay Permit,Business Permit, DTI and BIR Licenses.
THESE ARE THE 2 COMPANIES I'M TALKING ABOUT:
1) Benne Ssere International Incorporated
-Suite 1001 10th floor, West Tower, Philippine Stock Exchange(Tektite),
San Miguel Ave. Ortigas, Pasig City
2) Relativity Interactive Marketing
-Unit 406 4th floor, Hansel Arcade Building, #70 Imperial st.
corner Aurora blvd., Cubao, Quezon City
Companies to avoid according to, http://www.answers.com/Q/Is_mct_trading_in_ortigas_legal
17th floor unit 1706 centerpoint building garnet road corner julia vargas ave. Ortigas center pasig city is one of the nesting place of the scam company medceetect , fcmsi, mct trading, infiniteam enterprise. Most of their victims are applicants of different positions such as data encoder, office personnel office staff office clerk, account supervisor. They promise different positions but usually you'll end up as an account supervisor but if your lucky enough to have other position sad to say you'll have the same reponsibilities like the others...you'll end up as a refferal agent in their networking scam company beware for their urgent hiring posting mass hiring or immediate hiring....be smart dont be a victim
I re searched their company, their process is you'll be interviewed and you'll end up being signed up to work for a networking company selling their products independently, you'll also need to shell out P500 to start working for them. a lot of people are reporting them as scam, but they are reasoning out that when you apply for a job you'll need to shell out expenses for your requirements too such as NBI, medical xray and drug testing. and they point out that people really actually earns from their company.

Complaint Details:
ay interview ako that time sa isang company and i was 1 hour early kaya nag lakad lakad muna ako para malibang.
May isang lalaki na lumapit at kumausap sakin habang tuloy pa din ako sa pag lalakad.
Tinanong nya ako kung naghaINITIAL INTERVIEW, HINDI FORMAL.
Kung ano lang yung nasa data sheet ko, yun lang din yung tinatanong nya.anap ako ng work and i said yes.
Sabay sabi nya na hiring yung company nila baka gusto ko mag try.
Ang una kong naisio as a freshgrad is wow, ang galing naman, opportunity to. Naglalakad lang ako tapos ganon may nag offer sakin.
BUT.. tuloy tuloy sya sa pagsasalita kaya dun ako nagkaron ng doubt habang naglalakad kami.
THEN NAGTANONG AKO. BAGO AKO MAG TRY.
Q: Saan po yung office nyo?
A: Jan lang sa PHILIPPINE STOCK EXCHANGE
(So i think na katiwa-tiwala yung lugar ng office nila. Pero di pa din ako na convince pero tinuloy ko pa din pagtatanong)
Q: Anong Company po?
A: Uhm. Sa FRD ako. Front Runners Division.
(To think na COMPANY ANG TINATANONG ko, hindi kung saang division sya, so nag doubt na talaga ako and ayoko na pumunta so nagdahilan ako)
Q: May malapit po ba na computer shop dto? Magpapaprint po ako resume kasi.
A: Ah, wala ka resume na dala? Ok lang, may data sheet naman na fifill-up dun.
(so wala pala lusot yung dahilan ko. Habang naglalakad, naisip ko na okay, maaga oa naman para sa totoong interview na puountahan ko and sa PSE naman yun, tiwala ako sa lugar ng office nila. Pero may iba na akong nararamdaman)
Nung nakapasok na kami sa PSE building, ineexplain nya sakin kung saan akong elevator at kung ano pipindutin ko. HELLO, May pinag aralan ako, naka corporate attire pa nga ako at graduate na, bobo nalang hindi marunong gumamit ng elevator.
HINDI SYA NAGSASALITA ABOUT SA KANILA NUNG NASA ELEVATOR KAMI.
Pagpasok ko ng room, WHOA! an reaction ko.
CROWDED.
PARANG PALENGKE SA INGAY.
MAGULO.
WALANG PROPER ATTIRE.
Then, napaisip ako. ANO BA YUNG COMPANY NA ‘TO? So nung pag pasok ng office, Nagtanong ulit ako.
Q: Mga gaano katagal po ba to? May appointment pa po kasi ako in 30 mins.
A: mga 10-15 minutes lang naman. Mag fill up ka muna.
Tapos, sinamahan na ako nung nakakita sakin sa table kung saan ako iinterviewhin. Then sabi nya wag na daw ako bigyan ng exam tapos interview na daw.
Tapos umalis yung nasa office table then ipinasa ako sa ibang mag iinterview.
Then after nun, binigyan ako ng exam nung babae then nung sinasagutan ko na, sabi nung lalaki wag na daw ako mag exam, interview na so hindi ko na tinuloy yung pag sagot.
INITIAL INTERVIEW, Hindi formal.
Tagalog. Tapos kung ano lang yung nasa data sheet ko, yun lang din tinatanong nya. After nun, ready na daw ako for next interview.
2nd INTERVIEW.
Bumalik yung unang nasa table kanina and sya nag explain sa akin. Habang kausap nya ako, tumitingin sya sa likod ko. Hindi ko alam kung mannarism ba nya yun pero may iba akong feeling. Dun na ako nakaramdam ng kaba. Tapos nasundan pa na ineexplain nya yung may babayaran saw na 500.00 and sinabi nya kung saan mapupunta yun. Oo na lang ako ng oo pero hindi na talaga ako interesado kasi may pinag aralan akong tao at marunong akong makiramdam kung may mali ba sa paligid ko.
After ng explanation, parang ang kalalabasan is basta mag orientation ka, pasok ka na. Yun ang navivibes ko. Pero iniinsist nila na pag pasado ka na tsaka ka lang mag babayad pero buti nalang hindi ako madaling maniwala at alam ko na pinapaikot ikot lang nila. Yes, I am a fresh graduate. Degree course. Madami na akong interviews na napag daanan.
TAPOS TATANUNGIN NILA AKO KUNG MAY 500 na daw ba ako. Then i said wala po akong dala.
Tinanong nila kung saan ako umuuwi sabi ko Bulacan pa po. TAPOS SASABIHIN SAKIN NA BUMALIK DAW AKO NG AFTERNOON. Wow ha?? 3hrs byahe ko. Then dahil dun papauwiin ako?
Obvious na masyado. So kumagat nalang ako na babalik ako bukas pero hindi.
Then yung nag hatid sakin dun sa office, sya din nag hatid sakin palabas sa PSE. Ineexplain pa din nyabyung elevator. Haha! Grabe
After nga pala ng interview ko, tinanong ko yung nag interview sakin kunh under ng anong company yun (kasi hindi ako sinagot nung nagdala sakin dun)
PERO HINDI PA DIN NYA SINABI. Sabi sa orientation daw lahat ng tanong ko masasagot. Then that’s it.
Tinanong ko ulit yung naghatid sakin habang pababa kami ng building ng PSE sabi ko anong company tapos sabi nya, wala daw sila sa posisyon para sabihin yun. So, kung bawal sila mag bigay ng info, kaduda-duda di ba? Normal sa isang applicant na magtanong about sa company tapos walang maisagot? MAY MALI TALAGA.
BUTI na lang, malakas pakiramdam ko at nagsesearch muna ako lagi sa background company bago ako tumuloy.
And, nabasa ko yung blog na to. Hindi talaga ako yung tao na mahilig mag leave ng comment sa mga blogs kahit mahilig ako mag basa ng blogs. Pero sa tingin ko, ito yung dapat. Oo, pare pareho yung sinasabi dito pero ang purposebis para malan nila na madami sila na naloloko At malaman nila na hindiblahat ng tao ay kaya nilang paikutin at lokohin.
Yung mga nag comment dito na nakapasok na sila, yes i think kumikita nga kayo. Kasi isa kayo dito. Pwede nyo ba naman siraan yung kompanya na nagbabayad sa inyo? Hindi di ba? Kasi kayo din ang mawawalan.
Maraming tao yung nangangailangan kaya sila naghahanap ng tao. Anong konsensya meron kayo para manloko? Ganyan na ba kayo ka desperado kumita ng pera? Gamit ang panloloko?
Hindi ako naloko kasi HINDI AKO NAGPA-LOKO. Hindi ako tumuloy kaninang umaga dahil sa mga doubts ko kahapon na napatunayan nga ng mga nabasa ko.
Sa pagkakausap sakin habang naglalakad ako, siguro ginawa na din akong instrument ni God para maging isang boses sa isang malaking panloloko na to.
HINDI AKO NABIKTIMA. Ganon pa man, salamat sa nag invite sakin dun dahil sa tingin ko, isa ako sa ginawa ni God na instriment para matigil na yung panloloko na yan. NAG AALALA AKO PARA SA IBA NA POSIBLE NA MABIKTIMA. Hindi man ako nabiktima na nagbigay ng hinihingi nila kagaya ng iba, pero i’ll make sure na isa ako sa gagawa ng aksyon. Katulad ng gumawa ng blog na ito. Salamat sayo.
HINDI NYO IKA-UUNLAD ANG PANLOLOKO. YAN PA ANG MAS MAKAKAPAGPABABA SA SARILI NYO BILANG TAO.

Beware: 15 flr Octagon Building San Miguel, Ortigas Pasig City
May 25, 2009 · By admin · 1,074 Comments
The phone rings…. I answered the phone and I heard a male voice asking if he can speak to my niece (he stated the complete name) . Thinking it was a very important call from her University, I immediately called my niece.Minutes later, my niece who looks puzzled at that time relayed to me about who called and what they have talked about.
She told me that a certain RUSTAN MANALAD from the US Biotechnology firm located at the 15 flr Octagon Building San Miguel, Ortigas Pasig City was looking for 2-3 young professionals to help manage their business (sounds doubtful already!!).
She was asked to exchanged cellphone nos. (she gave different no.), wear business attire and go to that address in Pasig on a certain date so that they can talk about the business in details. My niece was asking more questions but the caller told it was only a 3min call.
Right after that, I told her I sense that there is something fishy here bec. since other details are not given. She was kinda baffled because the caller knows her number, her high school details and other stuff.
We immediately researched the said company but nothing appeared so we are assured that it doesn’t exist. We then researched for the 15 flr Octagon Building San Miguel, Ortigas Pasig City and oh gosh there are lots results that appeared. It was actually the address of a different company. Poor thing they are using that address.
We read that they were asked to sell something or do some pyramiding schemes. Crap, good thing is that my niece didn’t go there plus we’ll never allow her to go there.
You can comment here if you know other companies that are doing these types of scam.
