A warning to all overseas Filipino workers in Hong Kong: The Canada jobs offered by
Yamsuan and Associates Overseas Employment Services Ltd./Pacific Management Services Ltd. are non-existent! Citing a report from DFA’s Office of the Undersecretary for Migrant Workers’ Affairs(OUMWA), POEA Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac said Yamsuan and Associates has been posting ads in English newspapers in Hong Kong specifically targeting household service workers for supposed jobs in Canada.
“The advertisement says the agency can help them find work in Canada and
invites them to an orientation in its office,” according to OUMWA.
According to the Philippine Consulate General in Hong Kong, Yamsuan and Associates is owned and operated by a Filipino known only as Mr. Yamsuan and had Filipinos in its staff. Yamsuan has listed its Hong Kong address as 9th Floor, 4-6 Morrison Hill Road, Wanchai.
The OUMWA said at least 44 of the alleged victims of Yamsuan and Associates have filed complaints at the Philippine Consulate General in Hong Kong.
The complainants said Yamsuan charged them placement fees ranging from approximately US$100 to US$300 for “a job in Canada”.
When the promised jobs did not materialize, the applicants trooped to Yamsuan’s office, only to find it vacated and non-operational.
The Consulate General urged other victims of Yamsuan and Associates Ltd./Pacific Management Services Ltd. to come forward and file their statements with the Hong Kong police.
Cacdac advised applicants to be more vigilant and discerning in dealing with recruitment firms. “Scammers with tempting job offers are out there, waiting to pound on unsuspecting
applicants who are willing to part with their hard -earned money for a chance to work
overseas,” Cacdac said.
