Anyone from Egypt ?
polycounter lvl 14
I ask this because my sister got a job there( we're from Romania).
As far as she can tell everything is in order. But i'm a bit worried as i've heard a lot of girls going in exotic locations jut to find that it was all a hoax or worse.
The job she got is in Sharm el Sheikh as a hostess of sorts, a tourist animator ( a person who hangs around with guests and takes then to clubs, scuba diving , teaches them to dance and have a good time).
What i wanted to know is if any of you know about any girls who got scammed or the like.
I mean how safe is it, should i allow her to go ?

It is very likely that the take home pay will be far lower than advertised. Her working and living conditions will likely be worse than she is expecting. She will be at considerable risk of being exploited on the job and having her passport taken by her employer. If anything does go wrong, the local authorities will not be helpful and her embassy will want nothing to do with the situation.
On the other hand, I dont know what your family's financial situation is like. Plenty of people do find that the rewards (meager as they are) are worth the risks.
* None of this applies to people with real qualifications. If she was a doctor or an engineer she would probably have a great time, make lots of money, and have a great life experience.
Nothing is worth such a risk. If you want an ugly story - I don't want to it write here. But you can PM me.
I suggest you'd rather just forget about it. You have all the EU around you, so I can't possibly see why you would want to go there.
Hope everything turns out nice for you.
I say don't let her go.
I am from Egypt. That has been going on a lot with girls in the past few years or so. My cousin got a similar thing but for the states and such. Do not rush into it...see how Legit the company is and what they are paying. Do you need a degree to work? Is it immediate/urgent?
One thing I do not understand is why would she toss herself all the way over to Egypt from Romania? Be safe than sorry. Things aren't what they seem nowadays unfortunately...
Egypt is great and we are known to be the most hospitable country out there. Do your research. I personally say it isn't worth it. Girls will always be girls and need protection no matter where you are from. Your life isn't worth a few extra bucks.
If you got any questions let me know.
