Keep A Vigil on the Credentials of New Investors in the UAE Virtual Officers

Designed for a Modern Business Community Soaring high above Dubai's central business district, Emirates Towers is a remarkable tribute to the region's corporate success. Situated next to the Dubai World Trade Centre on Sheikh Zayed Road and adjacent to the Trade Centre Exhibition Halls, the two triangular towers are a dramatic reminder of the commercial confidence in a city that continues to grow at an astounding rate. Rising 350 metres high, the Emirates Towers Office building is the tallest building in the Middle East and Europe and 10th tallest in the world, while the 400-bedroom hotel - Emirates Towers Hotel - is the third tallest hotel in the world at 305 metres. It is strange that such a prestigious address in the world is being misused to dupe large number of unemployed youth from all over India. It is to be noted that the drive to establish virtual high tech offices in the UAE is not misused by criminal elements. Keeping strict vigil on the credentials of people who invest in the market is equally important.

EXCLUSIVE REPORT

New Job Rackets through Internet and Virtual Offices Loot Overseas Job Seekers

by V M Sathish K M Special Report

DUBAI – THIRUVANANTHAPURAM – A new recruitment syndicate has apparently duped many unemployed youth from Kerala and other parts of the country and the Middle East in a smart way using a virtual office on the Internet and a temporary office in the prestigious Emirates Towers building, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai. It is learned that a company called Saturnjobs registered an office in the Emirates Towers two months back and hosted a website (http://www.saturnjobs.com) offering lucrative jobs in various categories to qualified and not so qualified candidates. Unlike the normal visa racket, which cheats people by charging one lakh and above for visas, this “virtual” recruiting agent has been taking only 75 pounds equivalent to Indian Rupees Six thousand, 6300 per candidate as recruitment fees.

“We are getting many inquiries from relatives of people working in Dubai about Saturnjobs.com. It is true that the company has booked a temporary office space in the Emirates Towers Level 4 as a recruitment agent. However, they never opened the office. Temporary office space is available in the prestigious Emirates towers of Dubai to any international businessman by paying two months rent of few thousand dhirams,” says an Emirates Tower official. Believing that the virtual recruiting company (www.saturnjobs.com) with an office in the Emirates Towers - the tallest and landmark building in the UAE - must be a prestigious recruiting agent, many candidates have paid 75 pounds as recruitment fees, after they are convinced that international companies in Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and Saudi Arabia have lucrative job offers.

“We had a recruiting company called Saturnjobs here. They have closed office now,” said Emirates tower officials. However, they said many phone calls and letters are coming from people duped by the company. “Now we are sending back all the mails. People of many nationalities who have relatives in Dubai are making inquiries about this company,” said Emirates Tower sources.

"The attractively designed website offers more than 200 categories of jobs starting from accountant, secretary, window glazer to Plant Engineer and Software professionals. The company has not given any office phone or fax numbers and give special instruction to candidates to contact through emails only,” said Rajesh Kumar from Trivandrum, one of the victims, lured to the site through advertisement in newspapers and chat rooms.

Rajesh Nair from Thiruvananthapuram was offered a lucrative job through the website in a Tokyo based company as Accounts Assistant with a salary after taxes of 311,500 Japanese Yen Per Month equal to 129,288 Indian Rupees. The company maintains contacts with the candidates only through emails and the Internet, a clear indication that its intention was fraudulent. One Mr.Colin Sampson used to interact with the candidates.

We will contact you when it is time to go to have your passport stamped with your work visa.

We prepare your visa application with the information you have provided and inform the said embassy (Consulate) authorities that you will provide your documents (passport etc) when asked. Initial preparations are made now. Refusal is very rare.   The visa process takes time because we are applying for numerous applicants not just you.

If you have already been working abroad and had a medical the company still requires you to have a medical.   Please note if you have any medical problems please tell us now. Eyesight weakness (glasses or colour blindness is not a problem).   Please do not give your new e-mail address to friends and family to apply for jobs.

This e-mail address is strictly for new employee processing. Your application will be delayed if our processing department has to deal with applicants who have not been offered a job. If you know someone who wants to apply, please tell them to apply in the usual way as you did. At present there are no more positions available. New positions will arise in November 2004.   The company pays for accommodation. For single people accommodation is a spacious furnished room with all facilities. For families a furnished apartment is provided. Your accommodation will be close to your workplace. From previous experience employees have been very satisfied with the accommodation provided. But if you wish to find your own accommodation you may. But please note accommodation in Tokyo is very expensive.   Single Women will have SEPARATE accommodation away from Men.

  The cost of living in Japan will not be high for you as accommodation is provided. After this vegetarian food is relatively cheap. You will also have a private cooking area within your accommodation.   Your workplace is in central Tokyo and the school is within walking distance from your accommodation. 5 and 10 minutes respectively.   Meals are provided at work, but only breakfast and lunch. Meals at work do not include family members.   The company provides full medical cover. This does not include existing ailments.   The quoted salary is fixed for the first year.

Hi friends

I have been researching on this Saturn Jobs & their job offers & reading all of your comments

on the internet. I got similar offer and the company was Sekiotma Furuhashi. The Registry of

Commerce number & Registration Code were same as given to our friend from UP Mr. Sumit.

They offered me the post of Legal Secretary even though I don't know any Japanese laws.

I have searched in web site of Japanese telephone directory, pharamaceutical companies

directory, chamber of commerce, business association etc. No such named company exists in

Tokyo. The name is not even in Tokyo Stock Exchange website. How can that be if this is really

such a big company as saturnjobs claim it to be. To me it seems to be a fraud.

I have e-mailed to Japanese Foreign Affairs Ministry and also to Tokyo Governor. If these

people are really a big gang then they might be capable to set up a small office in Japan or Dubai

or anywhere they want. Even if they agree to give us a telephone number, it might be a false

one i.e. their own person might be residing in Japan and receiving the phone call. So strictly

speaking, there is no evidence that any foreign company is offering us jobs as mentioned to us by

saturnjobs. They haven't even given their telephone number. I even doubt if they are located in

Dubai.

If I am not wrong, in Jan 2004 when their advertisement appeared in The Hindu & Times of

Inda, I think they mentioned that they were a new consultant and now in their emails they say

they are providing placements to many from 1983.

Most-of-all their website doesn't seem to be a professional one. I am sure that many of us

jobseekers might be visiting many consultant websites, just compare other consultant sites with

this one. It doesn't look appealing.

I am waiting for a reply from Japanese officials, to support my findings. Then I think I am going

to ask The Hindu & Times of India to publish all of our findings and comments on this matter so

that many others will be carefull and not fall in trap.

If any of the concerned Indian Government officials happen to visit this page then I request them

to do the needful by tracking down these recruiters and bust their racket once for all.

Thanks to all.
Badri.

  Posted by K.J. Haroon Basha April 08 '04 at 01:12
Hi all
Thanx for ur overwhelming response but plz stop mailing me on my yahoo id .I will post on this blog any new information Whole summary:

SATURNJOBS

1. UAE police and Bangladesh police r after them.
2. Type saturnjobs in google and see for urself links like drishtipat.org
3. The web site expires on nov 05 2004, it was created only for one year for cheating.
4. The web site itself contains no phone numbers, just think a consultant of UAE giving jobs of Japan and operating from the UK !!! A BIG SCAM.
5. Saturnjobs has cheated lakhs of people in Bangladesh They have promised jobs and taken 55 pounds each but no jobs as usual.
6. I have e mailed cyber crime cell Mumbai but no response

I think friends we should contact INTERPOL or send e mail to leading newspapers in UK (like Sun)
to stop saturnjobs from looting innocent people in name of Jobs. Let us be united and stop the criminals.But about jobs be patient and try like me

"If you fiddle with something long enough , you will ultimately mess it"

Hi all out there this is Narayan S S working as Asst Manager shop floor improvements for the Premier mills group Coimbatore.

I too was offered the same remunertion perks & benefits but for the post of Manager business development thru saturn jobs.

I had my own doubts & had asked for a few clarifications for which obviously there was no response.

Other major highlights of my queries were

* Received order, job responsibility ,contract ,confirmation etc without my agreement.

* Mails were received from different senders.

* Official id & web page address were not disclosed for some stupid jusification.

* Id's & phone numbers of people sent to japan thru saturn were not disclosed & person offered the job had to send letters to get things clarified.

*Whereas these racketeers would not encourage anyother mode of communication other than mails.The reason being having a mail & web page doesnt call for a registered office building.

* Queries were not answered even after repeated mailing.

Please see that saturn is advertising in the opportunities column of the daily The Hindu & people who lay faith in this daily are gullible.So instead of awaiting details of payment made to saturn as per Bhavana's idea what I would suggest is that this can be very well published in the web & papers so that a lot of pople would be benefitted.I at the same time appreciate the sincere efforts of Bhavana.

A few people like us were smart enough to find the glitch & act accordingly others who are in real urge to land in a good job wouldnt mind shelling Rs 6225/- for a placement abroad.


Let me wind up by saying No pain no gain must be the motto of every candidate aspiring a good professional career.

Hello all,
I am Sredhar, a close friend of Narayan, who have posted above. I id a bit of research on his behalf. Being a cmpany owner, I guess NO ONE EVER in the world will ever recruit a person without even a small time personal interview! Believe me friends, nothing comes free and if anything is offered free, there would surely be a negative catch in it!

Hi all,

Am currently working in Japan (around 4 years now). My parents asked me to enquire abt a company. They were asked by some of their friends as their sons/daughters got some "good" offer from a Japanese company. The address is:

--Quote--
Sekiotma Furuhashi ,
7-26-3 Sendagi, Kume-Gun,
Shibuya-Ku,
Tokyo 113-0012 Japan
--Unquote--

Was surprised by that as the same company offered s/w engineer position for one and for the other, it was Financial controller.

Checked with some Japanese friends and got immediate reply!
--Quote--
Really doubtful. I tell you the reason :

Sekiotma (this is not Japanese, m never comes after t) Furuhashi (sounds like a family name) ,
7-26-3 Sendagi (this is an address in Bunkyo-ku, but I don't think Sendagi doesn't have 7-chome),
Kume-Gun ("-Gun" means county, i.e. not a city, like "xxx-Ken, xxx-Gun, xxx-Town or xxx-Village"),
Shibuya-Ku,
Tokyo 113-0012 Japan (113 is a postcode for Bunkyo-ku)

kind regards,
Saito
--Unquote--

We checked the Tokyo Atlas together and could find only upto 5 AREAs in Sendagi county. The number mentioned in the address is 7 (first number in 7-26-3).

Pls be very careful with these fraud companies and advertisements. Pls don't send any of yours/parents precious hard earned money to these fraud people. Try to forget forget this offer and look for something realistic. Best of luck on your further job search.

Rgds.,
Hari.
