    Since my husband is applying for a job in Dubai I was searching online on how to avoid being scam. I saw this guideline from POEA and I got worried. It was mention that the placement fee should be equivalent to 1 month salary exclusive of documentation and processing. They are being asked to pay almost 3 times of their expected salary and was told that they will not be given any receipt. I send an email to info@poea.gov.ph for assistance and I hope I would get a reply from them. If you have any info about Lucky International Management Service please leave a comment, this is the agency where my husband made an application.
