The Indian Embassy in Doha has issued a notification warning job seekers to be wary of fake recruiting agents in Qatar.

On Twitter, the embassy posted, “Please do not trust any recruiting agent who promises you a job in Qatar on a business/visit visa. Always ask for a copy of the agent’s Qatar ID and save it carefully, so that the Embassy can help you better, in the event of any fraud.”

If you are offered a job in Qatar, Indian expats need to be ask for a copy of the agent’s ID to be doubly sure of the authenticity of the job being offered.
