All foreign employment agencies from Dehiwela to Colpity will be checked for their legitimacy and whether they have the necessary permits to operate for the said year, the Fraud Investigations Bureau told Daily Mirror online

As a first step all foreign employment agencies from Dehiwela to Colpity will be checked and a database regarding them will be created. These steps are being taken to curb the many illegal employment agencies in Colombo and also to protect those who have a legitimate business, which could thereby help the public.

 Many complaints are received regarding fraudulent institutions which defraud individuals over 10 lakhs promising jobs overseas and we intend to put a stop to this, Fraud Investigations Bureau officials said. (Daily Mirror online)
