The Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi is reminding jobseekers to watch out for dodgy recruiters and not to fall for their promises.
It is also urging them to double-check the status of their visa before travelling to the UAE.
In recent weeks, the Embassy has helped repatriate several Indians who were duped by illegal agents in their home country.
The cases are mostly linked to people who come to the UAE on visit visas and get stranded as the promised job never materialises.
On their official social media channels, the Embassy posted video testimonies from several victims.
