Doha, Qatar - The Ministry of Labour has issued a stern warning to the public against fraudulent advertisements promising domestic worker recruitment services. Officials have urged citizens to verify that recruitment agencies possess proper licensing before engaging in any financial transactions or contractual obligations. Some unlicensed offices may manufacture convincing online advertisements, tricking victims into believing they are dealing with legitimate agencies while providing unauthorized services.
The Ministry emphasized that not all recruitment ads are genuine and warned that dealing with unauthorized entities could jeopardize one’s finances and rights. Citizens are advised not to hastily trust domestic worker recruitment advertisements and to thoroughly verify the credibility of the source before proceeding. The public can confirm an agency's authorization by checking the official list of approved recruitment agencies available on the Ministry of Labour's website.
The Ministry urged the public to "think twice, verify first and choose licensed" when seeking domestic worker recruitment services.
