Authorities are investigating the case of some 200 building attendants of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport who lost P740,000 to a recruiter who duped them by promising high-paying jobs in New Zealand.
The employees sought the help of the Manila International Airport Authority, the operator of the country’s main gateway, hoping that they would recover their money which they deposited to Medz Remittance Services.
In their complaint, they claimed that each of them paid P3,700 for passport processing and medical expenses to a certain Mayan Louise, who promised them good jobs in New Zealand.
One of the workers identified as Nelly Britania said Louise told them that one of her co-workers at NAIA was able to work in New Zealand without a placement fee.
The words become viral at the airport as many of them (building attendants) tried their luck to seek employment in New Zealand with the help of Louise.
