⚠️SCAM WARNING – PROTECT YOURSELF⚠️

At The Flying Fish, we strive to connect yacht crew with genuine job opportunities. However, scams in the industry are on the rise. Stay vigilant and never fall for fraudulent schemes.

How to Spot a Scam:

⚠️No Legitimate Employer Will Ask for Money – Never pay for job placement, visas, or training fees upfront.

⚠️Verify the Employer – Check company websites and official contacts before sharing personal information.

⚠️Suspicious Emails & Messages – Be cautious of vague job offers from free email providers (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.).

⚠️Too Good to Be True? It Probably Is – Unrealistic salaries or fast-track hiring without interviews are red flags.

⚠️Check for Proper Contacts – Legitimate agencies provide official company email addresses, not WhatsApp-only communication.

What You Can Do:

• Report scams to relevant authorities and warn fellow crew members.

• Double-check job postings via official yacht management websites.

• Use trusted sources like The Flying Fish and established agencies.

Stay smart. Stay safe. If in doubt, reach out before taking action!
