Low-income workers are frequently told that construction or labour jobs in Gulf countries are ready if they just pay documentation or processing charges.
In many reported cases the visas are fake, the jobs do not exist or the worker's passport is withheld after arrival.
These scams combine recruitment fraud with labour abuse and often go underreported because victims fear stigma or debt recovery pressure.
