Protecting Yourself from Document Attestation and Job Scams

How These Scams Work

Fraudsters create fake websites, social media profiles, and WhatsApp groups impersonating legitimate documentation and recruitment companies. They use official-sounding names and sometimes even copy logos and branding from real companies.

The typical scam follows this pattern:

• Victim is contacted with a "job offer" in GCC or Europe


• They are asked to pay fees for "visa processing," "attestation fees," or "medical clearance"


• Money is collected, sometimes in multiple installments


• The job turns out to be fake or does not exist

Warning Signs

• Unsolicited job offers via WhatsApp, Telegram, or email
• Requests for upfront fees before any documentation process starts
• "Too good to be true" salary packages
• Pressure to pay quickly or lose the opportunity
• No verifiable company address, phone number, or registration
• Requests for advance payment for "slots" or "positions"
• Asking you to share original documents before a formal agreement

What SiZA Global Will Never Do

SiZA Global is a documentation and facilitation company. We:

• Do NOT offer recruitment, job placement, or employment


• Do NOT charge fees without a clear service agreement

How to Verify Any Documentation Service

• Verify company registration (GST number, company registration)
• Call the published phone numbers directly — do not use numbers provided by someone who contacted you
• Check reviews on Google and other platforms
• Never pay before understanding exactly what service is being provided

If You Think You've Been Scammed

• Stop all communication with the fraudulent party
• Do not send any more money or documents

• Contact your bank to report fraudulent transactions
