SCAM ALERT

Hi guys

A company Cutbrut International Air Services is a scam. They are offering positions (B737NG, Airbus Captain and First officers) for a supposedly new airline in Vietnam. You must pay $190usd for a written and psychological test, when/if you pass.
  • Pass a basic aeronautical knowledge test
  • Pass a psychometric test
  • Spend a personal interview conducted online with our psychologists
  • Once these tests have been passed, all the procedures for obtaining the VISA will be completed to carry out a simulator test and a personal interview with the Airline.
  • Candidates who pass this selection process will be invited by the airline to join the company through a 3-years employment contract and will be available for the initiation of the training scheduled by the airline.
NO real airline will ask you to pay for the tests etc, besides that you can't enter most countries due to lock down. VISA is useless for now.

Another Vietnamese airline: Bamboo Airways did the very same to some of my British and Norwegian colleagues. Did the selection process all online and then on the pretext of getting entry visas in he middle of the pandemic made them all pay something in the region of $200+ In an escrow account online.
Only one of a half a dozen that I know ever got into the country. I believe he also paid for his medicals, his initial sim session and part of the extended hotel quarantine expenses. First salary cheque is yet to be received after nearly 8 months of getting hired!
Seems to be quite an extensive racket in that part of the world. And Bamboo Airways seems to top that list.

They did another scam with a Metroliner for a P2f scheme. The plane was in Spain and they wanted to start the project in Paraguay, asking for payments and stuff. They said that they will start in April 2022 because they had a contract with DHL, but the plane wasn't even arrived. It is now grounded in an Island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean for turbine problems. These guys are Spanish scammers, they registered CBIAS in the States to get less problems, but don't trust them. I hope that they get arrested soon.
