Vroon, a Dutch shipping company, has warned seafarers to be aware of the existence of a fraudulent organisation, using the name of Vroon Offshore Services Ltd. Aberdeen.
According to Vroon, the fake company also uses Vroon’s logo and address to contact seafarers.
In response to this situation, the shipping company has informed: “All seafarers should note that Vroon companies never charge money to seafarers for recruitment services, visa or other immigration-clearance activities.”
“All seafarers interested in employment with a Vroon Company should ensure any contact is made directly with a bona-fide Vroon office. All contact details and our on-line application form can be found on the Vroon website ( https://www.vroon.nl/Jobs )”
