Safe Migration & Avoiding Recruitment Scams
Red flags in overseas recruitment, how to verify agents and employers, and where Bangladeshi applicants can report fraud — practical safety guidance.
By Muntajar Editorial Team · Last updated 1 March 2026
Common scam patterns
Guaranteed visa promises, pressure to pay cash without receipts, passports held by agents, contracts in languages you cannot read, and jobs that differ from what was advertised overseas.
How to protect yourself
Use licensed channels where applicable, keep written records, verify employers independently, and compare offers with official minimum wage and labour rules in the destination country.
- Never pay for a guaranteed visa
- Insist on a contract review before signing
- Share plans with family — avoid isolated cash handovers
- Use official embassy and BMET resources when in doubt
