Dear PAO,
I am a victim of illegal recruitment. This happened when Gina claimed she could secure a job abroad for me as a nanny in exchange for a certain amount as a processing and placement fee. I trusted her because she was a former OFW for a long time, and she claimed to have connections with her previous employers. I paid the required fees to secure a job abroad. However, several months have passed and Gina failed to provide a plane ticket or an employment contract. I demanded a refund of my payment but the same proved futile. I told her I would file a case for illegal recruitment and estafa against her, but she just laughed and claimed that those two crimes were the same. Is she correct?
