My brother was offered a Asst manager job in Brussels by this company, PASSAGE TO ASIA -www.passageofasia.com.
The agent of this company hired in India recently and has taken EUROS 590 FROM ABOUT 50 CANDIDATES and offered contracts to start from 15th october. Now there is no sign of them.
Not only that they have valuable personal information of all the candidates and digital version of photographs. not sure how many of lost passports. Also not clear how many more were asked to come to different places in the country. The website www.passageofasia.com is hosted in malaysia and is built by a company which has built several websites for small trading companies. It could be the others are also are different fake business of this company.
The company which built website is

The above info is wht we have so far. The candidates are desparate to recover their funds and claim their dues and documents like passports.
Can the adminstrators here pl help to report this crime. We also do not know in wht other countries this has been perpetrated and needs to be stopped.
My brother who is between jobs after last contract and desparate to gain European experience is in a terrible state.

CONTINUED FROM ABOVE
They ie 2 reps conducted several telephone interviews from Malaysia, and aslo had appointed agent in North India. Other fees and costs were involved and I am not yet fully aware of the full extent of costs and funds lost in this fraud by my brother or other candidates. i will add thm soon as i get the information.
main issue is how to recover or claim their losses. Also these fraudesters need to be stopped.
The 50 candidates hve made a local complaint so far, but ths fraud appears to be an interantional operation and needs more action.
thanks |

Lynn-
Don't know what the British/European equivalent of our Federal Police is, but that's who you need to talk to.
Because this is a cross jurisdictional offense, they have the authority. Usually there is a treaty or trade agreement which covers things like this.
Another thing you can do is contact VISA, or whoever the payments went through, and try and do something about the payments. Their complaints machinery is very good, and they usually contact the advertisers and get them to pull the offending ads, so that's a bit of revenge.
It also gives them a track for similar scams, and they know what to look for the next time it happens. Naturally, doing this after the event isn't the preferred option, and at least they'll be able to tell your brother what to do about his payment. |

hello pauloz
I have reported this matter to the Crimestoppers in the UK.
Most candidates, includign my brother paid by bank transfer and I have asked him to report the matter to the bank and try to recover at least tth money. Let us see.
Most of the candidates are broke now having incurred extensive costs and payments. They also vacated the rooms or premises they lived in as they were due to fly on the 27th and now left homeless.
It is my fear that teh gang or group tth is doing thsi scam has all the candidates personal and sensitive detaiils and might use it fr soem criminal purposes. Also they will wipe their tracs clear so it might be impossible to find them.
Any forum memebrs in Brussesl may pl check out if thsi business does exist at the address given, ro wht is going on there. I appreciate any info.
many thanks |

HELLO
I JUST HEARD FRM India that the candidates were asked to quit their jobs as soon as te contract was offered because they were going to start a new career with the new company/restaurant in Brussels!
So, many of them did after signign the contract that was offered and now face unemployment and homeless situation. Really terrible!
I am tryign to find out about Interpol and how to lodge a compalint against this company that has operated this scam.
