Summary
DMW said Filipinos who join online scam hubs in Cambodia can face arrest, imprisonment and deportation, with liability extending beyond recruiters to workers themselves.
The warning follows an intensified Cambodian crackdown that has already led to the arrest and prosecution of many foreigners, including Filipinos, according to reports received by the agency.
Four job-offer red flags were highlighted: high pay with no clear role, free airfare and rushed departure without documents, hiring outside licensed agencies and DMW channels, and requests to use personal bank or social-media accounts.
DMW said those who leave through unlicensed recruiters or without proper processing risk illegal recruitment, trafficking and abuse, and urged anyone already trapped in scam operations to seek help from Philippine embassies, consulates or host-country authorities.
