A brother just asked me to train seamen. Is this thing reliable?

Regarding this kind of problem, let me tell you a scam that has been in the industry for a long time

A few days ago, a netizen came to me and asked me how much it costs to apply for a crew certificate? To be honest, most of the people who ask questions like this are laymen.

Crew certificate? When he asked me the first sentence, I guessed that I might have been cheated again? I have encountered all kinds of scams in the 10 years I have been in the industry, some of which are personal experiences, and some of which are provided by netizens.

I think I should introduce this scam to you. If you do it well, earning 100,000 a month is really not a dream.

Many of us like to use Baidu to look up things, and I do the same. I searched Baidu using "crew". Please look at the results in the picture. The second item is Baidu recruitment. Let’s click in and take a look.

It seems like a very ordinary recruitment information, let’s take a look at the benefits first: food and accommodation, meal allowance, transportation subsidy, phone subsidy, pension insurance, medical insurance, work-related injury insurance, unemployment insurance, salary Annual leave and salary at the end of the year. In all my years of working as a seafarer, I have never encountered a company with such good benefits. I believe many people will apply when they see such recruitment information.

The first thing to note is that being a crew member definitely requires training. If someone tells you that there is no need for a training company to apply for a certificate for you, they are definitely a liar.

Let’s take a look at this specific job description: the first month’s trial period is 8,000 yuan/month, and more than 12,000 yuan/month. Nowadays, many people come to me every day and ask me how to learn to be a seaman. I usually ask them why you want to learn to be a seaman. They say: the salary is high, and there are no high requirements. I asked them who told you that the salary was high without asking for it? Online?

If this were true, there wouldn’t be such a shortage of plumbers now.

What I want to say is that the salary can be so high, but it is not as simple as this recruitment information says. Every qualified seafarer needs to be trained by a formal maritime organization. After the training, he can pass Only those who pass the unified examination of the National Maritime Safety Administration are qualified to be seafarers, and this is the first step. When you work, you must be able to adapt to the working environment on the ship. In fact, there are not many people who can really persist. Not to mention that they have reached the captain's old track, but even when they have reached the third mate and third supervisor, many people have given up.

The following explains their specific operation procedures:

What you need:

1. A formal business license (it is very cheap to apply for one online) It seems that one hundred dollars can be used to apply for certified membership on various websites

2. A decent office

3. Three or five employees, (but the basics of doing this are They are all gangs and generally do not recruit people)

4. When you are ready, just go online to update recruitment information every day. You can post it on various websites, such as a certain city, a certain episode, and a certain link.

Most of these recruiting companies are in Shanghai. Why did they choose Shanghai?

1. From the recruitment information, we can see that there are many job opportunities in Shanghai, which is easy for applicants to believe.

2. This kind of information does not recruit locals. Locals in Shanghai generally will not do this kind of work. Even if a Shanghainese calls to consult, they will find a reason to tell you when they know that they are locals in Shanghai. We are currently full and no longer recruiting.

How to recruit to increase the probability of success?

These recruitment information all say that there is no charge. It is easy to believe that many people will go to the Shanghai company for on-site inspection, but when you arrive, they will tell you that you need to apply for a crew certificate. It costs about 2,000 in China. RMB 8,000 for international ones, and the company is strong and does not require you to go to training. As long as you pay the money, the company will help you with it and you can go home and wait. Think about it, you traveled all the way to Shanghai and were told that you would be willing to work for 2,000 yuan a month for 8,000 yuan a month. This may be the popular marketing model now. Let you experience it first and then charge you. According to my investigation, the probability of success is quite high. If you come to Shanghai, at least 5 out of 10 people will pay.

Then you go home and wait. When people who have waited two or three months to find a job find that they have been fooled, when you find the company, they have already prepared the reasons to perfunctory you. The purpose is to delay time, because this kind of survival time It will only take about three to six months. When the incident is really exposed, outsiders who come to Shanghai will find that they have moved and their phones are shut down. Register another company and continue to cheat.

Aren’t they worried about being reported?

Let’s talk about the topic of reporting. Regarding reporting, there is a 80/20 rule, which means that if you are really deceived, only 2 out of 10 people will report it. The one who really wants to make things bigger is the 28/20 rule.

Now let’s talk about how they will handle this matter if you find the Public Security Bureau. Theoretically, the Public Security Bureau cannot control such things. , because you paid the money and they signed a contract with you, and the company is legally registered with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, so the Public Security Bureau cannot control it. At most, they will mediate for you. When it comes to mediation, if you allow food and accommodation in Shanghai The consumption in a few days has already exceeded 2,000 yuan. The following news article talks about this matter. The police could only mediate, so the man cut his throat at the police station in desperation and blackmailed the agency.

Let’s talk about how much money can be earned from this routine?

The screenshot above shows that this company received 520 resumes for 11 positions.

Let’s do a rough calculation below (11 positions * 30 days * 3 resumes per day * 2,000 yuan application fee * 10 success probability = 198,000) Think about it carefully if we register such a company in batches to publish recruitment With information, would the probability of success be higher?

How to avoid such scams?

If a seafarer is looking for a job, it is best to go to a professional recruitment website, such as "Seaman.com". Also, if you have to pay money first, don't look at it. The second step is to check the company's qualifications. For example, what is the electronic technology center called like this? The name does not look like it specializes in seafarer labor.

Actually, there are quite a lot of scams in our industry. Next time I will introduce another one, which can also earn a monthly income of at least 100,000.
