Ghanaians cautioned about operations of "Services Company"

Accra, July 16, GNA - The Ministry of Information and Presidential Affairs on Tuesday advised the public to be cautious in dealing with "Services Company," a United States (US) based company claiming to assist Ghanaians to get job placements abroad.

A statement signed by Kofi Sekyiamah, Chief Director, of the Ministry said the company, with four employees provided professional resume services and linked up applicants to various companies but did not guarantee a job for an applicant.

The statement said the company had been making overtures to some Ghanaians through their postal addresses, urging those interested in seeking jobs in the US and elsewhere to apply to it for assistance through the payment of a non-refundable fee of five dollars for completed application forms.

"This creates the impression that Services Company provides assistance in visa acquisition and airfare arrangements," the statement added.
