Anti-Fraud Policy
Last updated: April 9, 2026
I. Our Commitment
World Wide Services Sp. z o.o. ("WWS", "we", "us", "our") is committed to operating with the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and ethical conduct in all aspects of our immigration consulting and work placement services.
The international recruitment industry is frequently targeted by fraudsters who exploit the hopes and vulnerabilities of workers seeking employment abroad. This Anti-Fraud Policy outlines our commitments, safeguards, and the steps we take to protect our clients from fraudulent practices.
This Policy should be read together with our Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, and Refund & Cancellation Policy.
II. Payment Transparency and Receipts
Official business accounts only. All payments to WWS must be made exclusively to our registered business bank accounts, Wise business account, or published cryptocurrency wallet addresses. These details are provided in your written Service Agreement.
Receipt for every payment. WWS issues an official payment receipt for every transaction. If you make a payment and do not receive a receipt within 48 hours, contact us immediately at info@worldwideservice.eu.
No cash, no mobile money, no personal accounts. WWS will never request payment via:
- Personal bank accounts of any individual
- Mobile money services (M-Pesa, MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, etc.)
- Cash apps (Cash App, Venmo, Zelle, etc.)
- Cash payments in person
- Gift cards or prepaid vouchers
Any request for payment through these channels is fraudulent. Do not comply. Report it immediately.
III. No Additional Payments to Staff
WWS employees, case managers, and support staff are strictly prohibited from requesting or accepting any form of payment, gift, favour, or gratuity from clients, whether directly or indirectly.
All fees are defined in your Service Agreement. There are no hidden fees, processing fees, urgency fees, or any other charges beyond what is stated in writing.
If any person claiming to represent WWS requests additional payment of any kind, report it immediately to info@worldwideservice.eu.
IV. Agent and Partner Conduct
WWS operates a network of independent referral agents and partners in Africa and Asia. These agents assist with initial consultations and document collection. They are contractually bound to:
- Provide accurate information about WWS services, pricing, and timelines
- Not make promises or guarantees that are not in the written Service Agreement
- Not collect service fees on behalf of WWS (unless explicitly authorized in writing with a verifiable reference number)
- Not request personal information beyond what is necessary for the referral
- Obtain client consent before sharing personal data with WWS
Agent misrepresentation: If an agent makes claims about guaranteed visa approval, guaranteed employment, or faster processing in exchange for additional payment, this is a violation of our agent code of conduct. Report it to info@worldwideservice.eu with the agent's name and details.
Remember: only the written Service Agreement signed between you and WWS is binding. Verbal promises by agents are not contractual commitments of WWS.
V. Fraudulent Documentation
WWS has a zero-tolerance policy toward fraudulent, forged, altered, or misleading documents. This includes but is not limited to:
- Forged passports, birth certificates, or identity documents
- Fake educational certificates or diplomas
- Altered employment references or experience letters
- Fabricated medical certificates
- Falsified criminal record clearances
- Doctored bank statements or financial documents
Consequences: If we discover that a client has submitted fraudulent documents:
- Services will be terminated immediately without refund
- All submitted documents will be flagged and may be reported to relevant authorities
- The client will be permanently barred from using WWS services
- The client may face criminal prosecution under applicable law
- Immigration fraud can result in a ban of up to 10 years from entering the destination country and Schengen Area
We verify document authenticity as part of our standard process. Submitting fraudulent documents wastes your money, puts your future at risk, and is a serious criminal offence.

VII. Red Flags — How to Spot a Scam
Be alert to these warning signs that indicate a fraudulent recruitment agency:
- Payment to personal accounts: Legitimate agencies use registered business accounts only
- No written contract: If they ask for money before providing a written Service Agreement, walk away
- Guaranteed visa approval: No agency can guarantee government decisions. Anyone who promises 100% approval is lying
- Urgency pressure: "Only 2 spots left" or "Offer expires tomorrow" — scammers create artificial urgency to prevent you from researching
- Communication only via WhatsApp/social media: Legitimate agencies have a professional website, registered email domain, and phone number
- No verifiable registration: If they cannot provide a business registration number you can verify in a government database, they are not legitimate
- Gmail or Yahoo email: Professional agencies use their own domain (e.g., @worldwideservice.eu), not free email services
- Unrealistic salary promises: If they promise EUR 3,000-5,000/month for unskilled work in Eastern Europe, it is false
