  Imagine paying 6k for a job upfront, how do people even think that&apos;s a good idea?

  Surprised that crew with experience fell for this, green staff are at risk if they are not informed properly, because it seems it was a very well put together scam.

  I have now been targeted by fraudsters 3 times: bank fraud, &nbsp;invoice redirect and a fake holiday let. &nbsp;I spotted and avoided all three, but what surprised me was a) the effort and investment the fraudsters had made to create a fake story, this took time effort and resources and I feel sure this is organised crime, b) the naivety of organizations who could see this and prevent it, in one case a UK bank that allowed a scammer to open dozens of bank accounts then close them a week later, &nbsp;the legitimate holiday booking site hosting non-existent villas that disappear overnight and c) the complete disinterest of the Police and other agencies in doing any investigation. &nbsp; It feels like the wild west.

  This is prevalent in the Oil &amp; Gas industry as well, and probably many others. As the previous commenter wrote, hard rule, never pay for a job !!

  In the current economic climate, the same thing is happening for &apos;normal&apos; jobs outwith the maritime industry. Folks being &apos;headhunted&apos; and asked to pay up front costs for all sorts of stuff. Due diligence is the name of the game but most younger folks don&apos;t see the need in this day and age. Interestingly &apos;David&apos;s&apos; father saw the problems but wasn&apos;t listened to.
