It promises that relevant formalities can be completed and interviews can be completed in three or four months, and a full refund will be given if the interview fails." This seemingly reliable job opportunity has attracted a large number of workers andSichuan Yuanjing Labor Service Co., Ltd.And its three related companiesAn overseas labor service contract was signed and fees ranging from 20,000 to 30,000 yuan were paid.

Earlier this month, the workers who had signed contracts and paid fees discovered thatAll four companies were deserted at the same time, and the contracts became nothing more than dead letters. What on earth is going on? What should be done about the workers' losses?

Claiming to have a monthly salary of over 20,000 yuan for overseas workers

After paying the money, the company ran away and many job seekers were deceived

In Tianfu New District, Chengdu, Sichuan,Sichuan Yuanjing Xiepai Labor Service Co., Ltd., Sichuan Haipin Labor Service Co., Ltd., Sichuan Huanyang Labor Service Co., Ltd.These three companies, located only 50 meters apart, all rent large cubicles in high-end office buildings.

These three companies are all affiliated with overseas labor dispatch qualifiedSichuan Yuanjing Labor Service Co., Ltd.They are related and recruit agents from all over the country to introduce so-called overseas work opportunities, claiming that they can arrange jobs whether it is driving a forklift in the UK or a tower crane in Australia.

Mr. Liu from Inner Mongolia told reporters that in July this year, he learned from a friend that Sichuan Yuanjing Labor Service Co., Ltd. had complete qualifications, so he paid 20,000 yuan to its affiliated company, Sichuan Yuanjing Xiepai Labor Service Co., Ltd.But in less than a month, the company disappeared from the high-end office building.

Mr. Liu:The company claims that you can earn money quickly, with high salaries, and can go to Europe, Australia, and the U.S. They promise to process your trip abroad in 3 to 4 months. If it cannot be processed within this time period, you can choose another business order or get a direct refund.

Mr. Li from Jiangsu said that he met the intermediary Ms. Jiang through the Internet, who recommended Sichuan Yuanjing Labor Service Co., Ltd. to him, saying that the company had complete procedures and the initial fee of 25,000 yuan was equivalent to one month's salary for working abroad.

Mr. Li:The processing period for going abroad is 3 to 4 months. When the processing period expired in August, she told me that the review had passed and asked me to wait a little longer. However, the company ran away in August.

Ms. Jiang, the intermediary who handled the business for Mr. Li, said that in March this year, she received an introduction from a staff member of Sichuan Yuanjing Labor Service Co., Ltd., saying that the company was expanding its business across the country and would return a commission of 5,000 yuan for each order.Ms. Jiang has done more than 20 orders, but not a single one of them was able to successfully go abroad to work.

Ms. Jiang:We checked the company's qualifications and found that the legal representatives were three different people, but the boss was the same. We also looked at the workers' contracts, which said that the processing period was 3 to 4 months, and a full refund would be given if it failed. The workers I introduced waited for 4 months but failed to get it done, so I applied for a refund for them, and the company collapsed soon after.

Recruitment agents claim they are also victims

Mr. Yu from Guangdong started cooperating with Sichuan Yuanjing Labor Service Co., Ltd. in July 2023.Has represented more than 200There were so many people doing this business, but in the end no one succeeded in going abroad.Since those who had previously requested a refund were able to get the money successfully, he continued to do this.

Mr. Yu:We had promised to start sending people abroad at the end of October 2023, but because of the National Day holiday, the delay was postponed to the end of December. Those who disagreed with the extension could get a full refund. By the end of December, no one could go abroad, and the other party explained that the Spring Festival was coming soon, and they would go out in February after the Spring Festival. We felt that something was wrong, so we went to find this company, and they said they would refund all those who were willing to do so. Some people were still willing to wait.

Mr. Yu said that he did not suspect anything because the other party had been able to refund the money normally. Until June this year, no one had successfully gone abroad, so he decided to refund all the money and give it back to the workers. By late July, the refund became slow. Feeling that something was wrong, Mr. Yu went to the police.

Mr. Yu:The company was operating normally on the morning of August 5, but by noon not a single staff member could be found.

Mr. Yu said that he and several friends were agents, and before the company lost contact, there were still nearly a thousand people whose fees had not been refunded, and everyone was very anxious. Mr. Yu did not expect that a company that had passed the qualification review of the Commerce Bureau would suddenly disappear.
