The latest trend in cruise ship job fraud seems to be the following:

  3. They always send emails from free email provides (Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, etc.);
  4. They never do thorough interviews with candidates;
  5. Their job offers are usually very generous (high salaries, short working hours, long paid holidays, etc.);
  6. They rarely ask for money upfront - instead, they pretend to pass the application to a third party organisation (e.g. Immigrations Office, Lawyers, etc.) and this organisation asks for money (visa fees, work permits, etc.). Of course, this organisation is the same fraudsters. Again, they always use a free email address.
