 |
|
I am starting to worry since I emailed scanned copies of my BSc, Passport and CELTA to various agencies that supply work in Saudi Arabia. These agencies like Work Circle have websites and look legit but how can i be sure that the information I send won't be misused for fraud?
Has anybody suffered from ID fraud by sending scans or am i just being paranoid? |

| Best advice would be to blank out your passport number when you send it and cross-reference the websites with at least two other sites to make sure they're legit. Could also try phoning to see if you can contact them, or check their address on googlemaps. |

Thanks for the advice Their address does not match the one on the website. Workforce solutions are based in Kingston and deal with office and IT while the emails bearing their logos has a completely different address which only exists as a private address. I just checked the street view as well and it appears to be either a pub called the white hart or a pvt address opposite.
Just forwarded the email to workforce solution in Kingston and now awaiting their reply. I used an apologetic tone in case they do have a separate branch. |
