We have been contacted by many job seekers who have received offer letters from Green Hospital of Address No 22 Street Musaffa Abu Dhabi PO Box 6645, UAE. It is notable that all job offers were issued without interview and the offers were considerably above the market value for the positions. If this does not set off alarm bells, the demand for payments to travel agents for "visa applications" certainly should. Alas for many job applicants, the alarm bells do not sound until they have been fleeced financially and left jobless.
We would stress to all job applicants, check the physical address of a hospital or clinic. Green Hospital does not exist physically, it exists only in cyberspace as a website. A convincing and attractive website, but nevertheless, a hospital cannot function as a virtual organisation. The job offers generated, are a scam. Do not sign the job offers and certainly do not send money to visa and travel agents.
The Green Hospital Abu Dhabi job scam is the standard, typical job offer fraud, which has been widespread in the UAE since at least the start of 2020. We wrote about this in our popular blog article Beware of Jobs Scams in the UAE to warn people about the widespread existence of the scam and to show people how to detect it, very easily.
Jobs scams are unsophisticated scams but people continue to fall for them despite the extensive media and on line warnings readily available on the websites of recruiters, employers and the local media. The attraction of a lucrative job offer is apparently too appealing for many job seekers to retain a grip on reality and critically analyse the terms of what they are actually being offered.
Many people have reported the job scams, which originate from varied fake employers in multiple sectors in the UAE, to the Police in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, to employers and colleagues but no one has been able to stop them because the scams originate from out with the UAE.
Some suspect the perpetrators are in Lagos, Nigeria or other African countries, or in India which is why they have not been apprehended and continue their mischief. They are highly adaptable and constantly issue new websites with new employers and new jobs. It therefore falls upon the job applicant to take responsibility for assessing if the offer is genuine or not.
By clicking on the link below, you will be able to see a job offer from Green Hospital Abu Dhabi. This is the classical fake job offer from the UAE. The employer name changes but the format stays the same and so does the stationery and formatting!.
Analysis of the terms we must do, because a thorough scrutiny of the offer is essential to detect this very blatant and obvious deception. And one need look no further than the first line of the offer letter. The name of the hospital, Green Hospital, written in bold green capitals with a logo in matching shades of green and blue, is the biggest clue. Does this hospital exist in the Musaffah area of Abu Dhabi?
A google search will show the website of Green Hospital, designed in calming shades of green, with lists of departments, medical services and smiling physicians ready to offer their healing services. But check the physical address and you will find it does not exist on google maps, or apple maps.
Musaffa, Abu Dhabi is a busy area packed with hospitals and clinics, many well known established names, but there is no Green Hospital. And this is the key fact which most job seekers just do not get. A hospital cannot function as a virtual organisation. It needs a large physical site and its size ensures it is prominent on google maps. No building means no hospital. And if there is no hospital, then there can be no job offer.
This simple act of verifying the physical site of the employer takes minutes and concludes the matter. The offer is a fraud. Report it to the Abu Dhabi police and do not send money to visa or travel agents. You will get no visa and you will never see your money again.
You don’t need to read the offer letter further. The employment terms are fake. The salary, usually suspiciously generous, will never be paid. You will never be able to earn it because the hospital does not exist.
