Warning to OFWs: Fake Documents Could Land You in Jail

To those OFWs who submitted fake or altered documents while applying for jobs abroad, it will only be a matter of time that the authorities find out about it and to those who are applying or planning to apply for a job using forged documents, you better think again because you will only put yourselves in trouble by doing it.

In UAE, people who fake certificates to get a visa or a job will get ten years jail term, while those who photocopy official documents and tamper with them face up to five years in jail.

In 2014, forgery of educational certificates constituted around 40% of all document fraud cases according to the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD) . The Public Prosecution referred 100 cases involving the falsification of documents — with counterfeit degrees and educational certificates — representing around half of them.

“This has become a phenomenon committed mainly by those of Asian nationality as they try to find jobs or visas in the country that correspond to the falsified degree they claim to have. The forgery is usually discovered as these individuals give in their degrees to foreign affairs offices for attestation,” according to a source in public prosecution.

Suspects face charges of forging an official document, faking a stamp, and attempting to use the fake document.

The warning does not apply only on OFWs but to all expatriates. In Saudi Arabia an expatriate from other Arab country sentenced by Jeddah court to a 1.5 years in prison while fine 5000 Saudi Riyal.He will also face deportation after the prison punishment because of using a fake degree.

This expatriate use his Ph.D degree for job in private dispensary. He was informed by ministry to the local police when the employer asked him for authentication of his document.

Obtaining a fake document is easy but the authorities have ways and resources in finding out if you are submitting an authentic document and most people are not aware of it. It will be a matter of time but they will sure find out if you submitted forged documents and press charges to the violators.

The Saudi Arabian government started mounting a crackdown on fake diplomas and other documents that land users in lucrative jobs in the kingdom by using fake degrees and credentials.

“The Ministry of Interior will apply statutory penalties on people involved in counterfeiting academic degrees,” said a statement quoting Maj. Gen. Mohammed Bin Abdullah Al-Maroal, a ministry spokesperson.

People who will be caught using fake documents will undergo trial and penalized if proven guilty, they will face jail term and be deported after serving their jail term. They will also never be allowed to enter the kingdom again according to Al-Maroal.

An investigation by the Ministry of Education has revealed a huge number of candidates— Saudis and foreigners alike — who have obtained fake degrees and diplomas from illegal agents, Arab News report said.

Fake documents are everywhere for a cost. Avoid using them and don't even think about it. Instead of landing on your dream job, you may land in jail and that could be a nightmare.

The Department of Foreign Affairs fervently warn OFWs against submitting fake documents while applying overseas jobs to avoid getting themselves into trouble.

UAE Vice Consul Elizabeth Ramos, added that resorting to fake diplomas “will prejudice your employment, entitlement for end-of-service benefits, and possibly, your legal status in the UAE.”

“The Philippine Consulate General advises Filipinos against the use of fake or forged documents in Dubai. Falsification of documents is punishable by law. Use of fake documents such as school diploma and training certificates for employment purposes will prejudice your employment, entitlement for end-of-service benefits, and possibly, your legal status in the UAE,” she said.

“Please secure documents from official and legitimate sources. Do not fall prey to fixers. For your protection and benefit, use only authentic documents,” she added.

Barney Almazar, lawyer at Gulf law, said that an OFW had recently been arrested by operatives of Civilian Irregular Defense Group (CIDG) and imprisoned after it turned out the document she submitted a fake document, which she had processed by someone in the Philippines.

“In her new work, she was required to have Transcript of Records or TOR,” narrated Almazar. “She had it processed back in Manila. When the documents arrived in the UAE, she had them stamped in Abu Dhabi (because she lives there). Then, when she came back to collect her documents, it was discovered that the documents were fake. She was arrested by the Civilian Irregular Defense Group (CIDG) right away,” he said.

Here is a real life story of an OFW who worked as a nurse in Dubai submitted in an OFW forum seeking for advise:

WARNING FROM NBI, DO NOT POST YOUR ID'S AND VITAL INFOS IN SOCIAL MEDIA!

While social networking sites like Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter and more are helping us connect easily with our friends and families, we have to limit what we really post online. Identity theft is something we have to be concerned about. We have to remember that the information we put on our online accounts could be used by others to access our bank accounts, credit cards, and sometimes it could also be used in the worst-case imaginable like this man in the video:
advertisement

Christopher Oliveros used to work in a telecom company. One day he woke up with his picture posted on national television as a suspect to an awful crime involving the murder of a mother and a child. An ID was fabricated and left in the crime scene to frame him up for the murder. According to him, the picture in the fake ID was from his profile picture on Facebook, and the information about his company was probably found in his LinkedIn account.
Other information that we should refrain from posting in the social media network could also be the following:
Birthdate and birthplace: While it may be nice to get birthday wishes, revealing your exact birthday and your place of birth is like handing over your financial security to thieves.
Mother's maiden name: While you might not be using it on your financial accounts, this is usually a key used by companies as a security question to access or reset the password.

This teacher posted his PRC ID in Facebook

Public documents like Passport, ID's, travel itinerary and more: Documents like tax returns contain identification numbers that could be used to access personal information. The same thing is true for ID which could also be used by thieves to fabricate their own fake ID using your information. And although posting plane tickets seem harmless, it could also be used to spy on your whereabouts or know the perfect time when no one will be home.

Expat Doctor In Saudi Was Caught With Fake Credentials

Forging school credentials or university degree is a crime, and expatriates in Saudi Arabia should not take this lightly. Over the years, there are some expatriates usually working in the field of engineering who were discovered to have fake credentials and they were deported.
advertisement

If you are wondering what could possibly happen to you if you will work in Saudi under fake or forged credentials, learn from the experience of this expatriate:

An expatriate working in a dispensary in Jeddah was sentenced to one year and five months in prison, SR 5,000 fine and deportation after he was proven guilty of forging a Ph.D degree in medicine.

According to the local news, he was able to work for 7 months practicing his degree. When he brought his credentials for attestation, the Foreign Ministry discovered it was fake. He was then handed to the police.

The source said that the expatriate came in the Kingdom with his mother to perform Umrah. He was able to secure a job offer later and was given a permanent residence permit to work as an accountant. He later realized that his salary as an accountant is not enough to cover the needs of his family back in his home country. Since he has one year background studying medicine in his country, he decided to contact a forger back home so he can have credentials for a Ph.D Degree in Internal Medicine. He paid the forger SR 2,000.

With his fake credentials he was able to secure a job and exercise the profession and was paid well as a doctor. But when the dispensary asked him to submit his credentials for authentication by the Foreign Ministry, they found out it was fake.

Beware: New Modus, Fake Passport Extensions In Dubai

The Philippine Consulate in Dubai is warning Filipinos not to resort to fixers offering bogus passport extension or they could land in jail for forgery. Forging or tampering an official document is punishable under the UAE law.

For the past two weeks, there had been reported cases of passports bearing fake stamps and forged consular signature, Consul general Paul Raymond Cortes said.

The consulate clarified that the passport stamping for extension purposes has been stopped already since January. The only exemption where passport extension can be granted is on medical emergency or death in the family.

According to the investigation, the spouse/husband of the passport holder paid DH 700 to a fixer, for the fake passport extension.

Consul Ferdinand Flores, whose signature was forged on the passport, said: "obviously it was a scam because the cost of renewing a passport is just Dh240 and an emergency passport extension is just Dh 120. The signature was even stamped and not manually signed on the passport."

Deputy consul general Giovanni Palec said that tampering the passport will not only nullify the passport, but it is also a criminal act.

Palec added extending the passport is not practical because "even if you extend it, once you pass through the immigration, it will still show that it has already expired... That's why we don't do extensions anymore and besides a new passport can now be issued in three weeks time," he added.

Palec said they will ask the assistance of the Dubai Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to identify and apprehend the perpetrators of this scam. The consular officials will also send their specimen signatures to the immigration.
