You can always see people recruiting crew members online, and the wages are very high. Is this a scam?

On recruitment websites, you often see information about recruiting crew members, and the salary can often reach tens of thousands, which is quite attractive to many job seekers in Xuzhou. But if you think that you can get such a high salary simply by being a crew member, you are totally wrong.

Behind the high salary is unbearable pressure and risk.

Last year, one of my colleagues was in urgent need of money and saw that the crew salary could reach 10k, so he resigned and became a crew member. A year later, he quit his job as a crew member, came to chat with me, and told me about his work and life as a crew member over the past year.

1. Everyone wants to go to a large, formal and good company, so scammers will seize everyone's mentality and give them names similar to the company. Just like the familiar "Master Kong" may be because of you. I bought "Kang Shuaifu" without paying attention, so these leather bag companies really need to pay attention. At the same time, it is also necessary to use Baidu to search for the company. If someone is deceived by the company, it is possible to post it online, which can also help us. Identify the company.

2. When looking for employment information, be sure to choose a reliable crew service agency. To inquire about recognized seafarer service agencies, you can log in to the People's Republic of China and China Crew Network and search for a list of recognized seafarer service agencies in the "Crew Employment" column, or you can consult the local maritime agency.

3. Be cautious about using high wages and high-quality conditions to attract crew members. Scammers will take advantage of everyone's desire for favors and make lavish promises to crew members, and can immediately arrange to board the ship to deceive the crew members, and Let the crew remit the high agency fees as soon as possible.

Of course, there are some who use low intermediary fees to get crew members to pay voluntarily. This is because of the paralysis of the crew members. Even if they are deceived, they will not lose much. However, everyone knows that this may be just the beginning, and the scammers may They will also use other exploits to commit second and third frauds. Therefore, you should be wary of high intermediary fees, and you should not underestimate low intermediary fees.

4. In order to collect the personal information of crew members, many intermediaries will collect the privacy and contact information of crew members in the name of introduction work, and use them to build their own talent reserves or sell them. Therefore, do not submit your resume easily without confirming the authenticity of the recruitment information. Therefore, after checking the qualifications and time and there is no problem, ask the other party for the name of the ship and the shipowner so that you can check the ship's information. At the same time, go to the Maritime Safety Bureau to check the shipowner's integrity record and other issues.

5. Pay attention! The Maritime Safety Bureau applies for crew certificates for free! Any reason why you need to pay a fee to apply for a crew certificate is an excuse to ask for money, which is a fraud. Be careful not to be deceived. Be sure to confirm the identity of the other party before sending money to prevent being deceived. At the same time, seafarers must properly keep their labor contract or shipboarding agreement before working on board a ship, perform their duties well in accordance with the contract, and enjoy corresponding rights and interests.
