in recent years, with the continuous expansion of China's foreign labor cooperation business, some illegal intermediaries at home and abroad are engaged in illegal and criminal activities under the banner of exporting labor services abroad. Illegal intermediaries take advantage of people's ignorance of relevant laws, regulations and policies at home and abroad, trying to "work as a foreign worker" and "earn a lot of money" abroad, and perform all kinds of tricks that are not clever, resulting in a large number of "gold diggers" being deceived and dreaming of leaving their hometown, which not only makes them and their families suffer huge mental and economic losses, but also causes serious social problems and bad international influence. In order to maintain the business order in the field of China's foreign labor service cooperation, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of companies with legal business qualifications and dispatched laborers, in recent years, the Ministry of Commerce has intensified the publicity of relevant policies on foreign labor service cooperation, and the public security and industrial and commercial administration departments have strengthened the investigation and crackdown on illegal intermediaries. china international contractors association has specially set up a complaint agency for dispatched laborers. In order to cooperate with the special action recently launched by the relevant government departments to jointly crack down on illegal intermediaries, the complaint center will sort out some representative and warning cases from the complaint reports received against illegal intermediaries in the past year, with a view to improving the ability of laborers to distinguish between "legal channels" and "illegal channels" through these cases, providing ways to understand the relevant national policies and regulations, enhancing their self-prevention awareness and self-protection ability, and actively guiding them to seek services from legally operated enterprises. Case 1: Han Mouren, a farmer in Jiangyan City, Jiangsu Province, saw a message from a tabloid advertisement: Nantong A Company is recruiting construction workers to go to Israel with a monthly salary of 511-611 US dollars. According to this small advertisement, Han and other 38 people found a company to sign up. In the later more than half a year, Han and others went back and forth between Jiangyan City and Nantong City for more than 21 times in order to go through all kinds of "procedures" and pay all kinds of "fees" to Company A, but in order to realize their dream of going abroad, they also forgot to care. When Han and others went through all kinds of "procedures" in Company A, and each paid 58,111 yuan to Company A, Company A finally completed the "procedures for going abroad" for Han and others. A few days later, Han and others set off from Guangzhou under the leadership of the team leader of Company A and took the flight of "going abroad to work". However, what happened later made this group of simple farmers incredible. When the plane landed, Han and others were surprised to find that their foothold was not Israel but Indonesia. In the face of questions, the tour leader lied that before arriving at the destination, let everyone have a play and broaden their horizons. After that, they flew to Thailand and Hong Kong, and the tour leader took the same deception to lead these migrant workers to play there again. But what Han and others didn't expect was that the plane finally returned from Hong Kong to its origin-Guangzhou! Han and others' dream of going abroad was shattered. More unfortunately, after returning to China, Company A took delaying measures and refused to refund the fees paid by Han and others. After more than a year of fruitless negotiations, Han and others finally reported the case to the public security organ. After the case was detected by the public security organs, the truth came to light. Company A turned out to be an illegal intermediary gang that colluded inside and outside and engaged in smuggling under the cover of various means. They had intended to cheat Han and others abroad by applying for tourist visas in secret, and then their foreign associates cheated Han and others to local bosses to work as black workers. It was only because foreign associates did not negotiate with local employers that Han and others inexplicably traveled abroad. The case review lacks understanding of the relevant policies in the field of overseas labor services in China, so it lacks the ability to distinguish between "legal channels" and "illegal channels", which is an important reason why some laborers who want to go abroad have been deceived repeatedly in recent years. According to the relevant policies of the state, enterprises engaged in foreign labor cooperation business must have the Qualification Certificate for Foreign Economic Cooperation issued by the Ministry of Commerce (formerly the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation). If the unit is entrusted by the operating company to recruit state workers, it should provide the recruited personnel with the power of attorney for operating the company and a copy of the Qualification Certificate for Foreign Economic Cooperation issued by the Ministry of Commerce. Therefore, the most effective way to distinguish between "legal channels" and "illegal channels" is to see whether an enterprise has legal business qualifications. If Han and others understand the above policies and identify Company A in this link before signing the contract, it is not difficult to see through the face of the illegal intermediary of Company A, and the misfortune that happened later can be completely avoided. Workers who want to leave the country can identify whether a business company has legal business qualifications according to the following methods: First, they can ask the business company to produce a copy of the Qualification Certificate for Foreign Economic Cooperation issued by the Ministry of Commerce (formerly the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation), or they can directly understand the business qualifications of the business company from the relevant departments. Second, if the agency entrusted by the operating company recruits people, it can be required to show the power of attorney of the operating company and a copy of the Qualification Certificate for Foreign Economic Cooperation issued by the Ministry of Commerce (formerly the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation). If it is known that the operating company has the qualification to operate overseas labor services, it is best to learn about the agency company from the operating company. Third, relevant consultation can be conducted through the website of the Ministry of Commerce, the website of china international contractors association, or the Department of Commerce of the local government and the Foreign Economic Cooperation Office of the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission. Case 2 When Zhou of Anshan mentioned the experience of working abroad, it was like having a dream. A year ago, Ms. Zhou, a massage lady, wanted to develop abroad. Because it was forbidden by the state to engage in massage abroad, she quietly rushed to negotiate when she learned that the informal company B could do this business. After receiving 31,111 RMB from MISS ZHOU, Company B quickly signed a "contract" with her to work as a massage worker in a beauty salon in Malaysia for two years, and applied for a business visa for her to go to Malaysia. When MISS ZHOU asked about her going to work and why she was holding a business passport, Company B lied that it was for the convenience of leaving the country, so she had nothing to do with her job. MISS ZHOU believed it. A few days later, MISS ZHOU arrived in Malaysia smoothly, just as she secretly convinced Company B? quot; When the magical power is vast, misfortune begins. One day, after seeing Zhou's certificate to Malaysia, my colleague said uneasily, what are you going to do with a business visa instead of a work permit? This is illegal work, and those who do not leave the country after the visa expires are guilty of illegal detention. Once caught, they will be fined and imprisoned according to Malaysian law. MISS ZHOU panicked when she knew about it. Just when she was worried about her illegal identity all day, Huang, the agent of Company B in Malaysia, found her and said, as long as you give me RM21,111 to get through the joints, I can help you to become an immigrant, so that you can establish yourself in Malaysia. At the moment, MISS ZHOU seemed to see hope, and she believed Hwang's words. According to the requirements, MISS ZHOU handed over RM 19,111 and GBP 511 to Hwang, but what she never expected was that Hwang not only failed to become an immigrant for her after receiving the money, but continued to ask MISS ZHOU for money for various reasons. MISS ZHOU finally despaired of Hwang, but when she strongly urged Hwang to return the money and send her back to China, Hwang showed his fierce face. On the grounds that although the immigration was not completed, he lost a lot of money for the relationship. At the moment, MISS ZHOU was afraid to sue the official. She was imprisoned for fear of exposing her illegal identity, but she couldn't bear the bullying and fraud of Huang and others. In the case of grief and desperation, MISS ZHOU summoned up the courage and walked into our embassy in Malaysia. MISS ZHOU finally returned to the motherland. She had intended to realize her wish to go to Malaysia as a massage girl through an illegal intermediary, but she was cleverer than she was. What she got was a nightmare and endless regret. Case Review In the case, Zhou knows something about the illegal intermediary nature of Company B, but she doesn't know all kinds of misdeeds and consequences of illegal intermediary in society, so she lacks understanding of the deception of illegal intermediary and the harm it may cause to herself. Driven by the desire to go abroad, such laborers often behave hungrily or even take risks when choosing the channel to go abroad, which is very lucky, so it is easy to fall into the trap set by illegal intermediary. Zhou's experience warns people that they have illusions about illegal intermediaries, and the price paid for their rhetoric is painful. Another warning provided by the case is that in recent years, it is a common means for illegal intermediaries to organize laborers to go abroad through tourist visas or business visas. Working in the local area with this kind of visa is often contrary to the relevant laws of the visa country, and many laborers are completely ignorant of the relevant laws of the visa country, which leads many laborers to work illegally as tourists or business visas, and Zhou is one of the victims. According to the relevant laws of Malaysia, migrant workers must hold the employer's employment permit issued by the government of the country. It is illegal to work in the country with a tourist visa or a business visa, and the validity period of the tourist visa or business visa is short. Those who fail to leave the country after the time limit will constitute illegal detention. For such illegal workers, the Malaysian government will implement the punishment measures of arrest, detention, fine and deportation. If Zhou knew about this situation, she would have noticed when she saw that the illegal intermediary was handling a business visa for her, and she would not have been deceived by their rhetoric.
