Hello mondliknowledge7,


Welcome to Expat.com 1f601.svg


Please note that for more viability, I have created a new thread with your post on the Poland forum.


Have you submitted a job application to that company?

Also, have you begun conducting research on the company itself using Google?


This is a great starting point.


All the best,


Cheryl

If you didn't apply, it's either spam or a scam

If they ask you to pay for anything, it's a scam

Yes it came as a spam, and am a little bit interest; but am told to select a job and then pay 999euroes to process the whole issue

@mondliknowledge7

How can apply for a job in Poland?

Hi again.


It depends if you're what they regard as a skilled worker (i.e. engineer, IT worker with recognised, verifiable qualifications) and can speak Polish, then a pretty good chance.  You have to remember that they can only employ you if they have no other Polish or EU citizens looking for the same work.


If you don't meet the above criteria, then it's almost impossible.  If you do have the skills, then join something like LinkedIn and reach out to your peers and find out who's hiring and where then you can send your CV to them.


I hope this helps.

In general, it's a scam if anybody asks you for money for a job.  Agents get paid by the employer when they successfully place a candidate with them; they are playing on your mind by taking advantage of what you perceive as a way to get a well-paid job.

Scam.

The easy way to spot them is the scammer asks for cash

Hello people , l have already paid these people and l have waited for more than 12 weeks to get the permit. So please don't be like me , these guys are scammers. Right now l send them messages and they don't reply. At first they were saying it's the Poland government delaying now they don't even answer. Also note they don't want even to refund me.

It's a very obvious scam.


However, a post or two down will be someone who hasn't read the thread asking if this is a scam.

Hi and welcome to the Forum.


Just read the whole thread, you will see posts from people who have been scammed by these people.


If that is not proof enough, then there is nothing further we can do to help you.


I hope this helps.

Apart from the chance of identity theft because you sent personal details to known criminals - No
