Sudden travel request
A recruiter says you must travel tomorrow for training. They offer accommodation, ask you to bring original documents, and say your passport or ID will be held during the process.
What to check
- Check the employer, address, interview contact, transport plan, accommodation, and exact reason for travel before leaving.
- Tell someone you trust where you are going and agree on check-in times.
- Be careful if the meeting location changes suddenly, feels isolated, or the recruiter wants secrecy.
- Do not hand your passport or ID to a stranger, and check visa or work-permit rules through official authorities for overseas offers.
Recommended next steps
- Do not travel until you have checked the employer and location through separate channels.
- Share the details with someone you trust before acting.
- If there is trafficking risk, contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline or emergency services.
