Signs of a scam
- They ask for money before you have a signed contract.
- A foreign job with no SLBFE licence number, or a number that does not check out at slbfe.lk.
- They want your passport or bank card.
- The salary is far above what the job normally pays.
- They only talk on WhatsApp and avoid giving an office address.
If you already paid, also tell the Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment (SLBFE) and your nearest police station.
