UPDATED NOTICE RE: FALSE OFFERS OF EMPLOYMENT

Please note that offers for shipboard employment can be made only through the authorized agents listed on this website.

We have recently learned that the fictitious company that refers to itself as “Crystal Cruise Line— and purports to be located in Hindmarsh, Australia has begun targeting individuals in Romania with unauthorized offers of employment on cruise ships operated by Crystal Cruises, Inc. This is a fictitious company, and all offers of employment to work for Crystal Cruises that are purportedly made by this company are fictitious. Crystal Cruises has no connection with this company.

Please see our August 2014 and July 2013 notices (below) for more information about this scam.

The perpetrators of this fraud still appear to be using the fictions names and email addresses included in our August 2014 notice. In addition to these names and the names listed in our July 2013 notice, the perpetrators of this fraud are also using the aliases Capt. Mrs. Tracey Anderson (Australia Department of Immigration) and Mrs. Keith Dolan Hayden (CSO Administrator AU Maritime Authority).

In the initial email, these individuals claim that “Crystal Cruise Line [Australia]— is offering a contract for employment on the cruise ships operated by Crystal Cruises. Once the prospective employee responds to this email offer and sends back a signed employment contract, s/he is asked to complete a form to obtain an “AU visa and a mandatory Security Certificate.— After submitting the completed forms, the prospective employee is given a contact at a false “immigration department— to work with for getting his or her Certificate released. The prospective employee is also asked to send copies of documentation, such as his/her passport and seamen’s book. Once the perpetrators of this fraud have obtained this documentation, the prospective employee is asked to send a bank transfer in the sum of $395 USD to an address in Guinea, and to confirm payment via email. After payment is sent, the perpetrators of this fraud notify the prospective applicant that the process cannot continue.

Crystal Cruises does not require prospective employees to pay any processing fees to secure employment on board its ships.

Please be warned that Crystal Cruise Line, Mrs. T.H. Kotzee, Mr. Howard Greenberg, Capt. Mrs. Tracey Anderson, and Mrs. Keith Dolan Hayden are not authorized to solicit or accept employees on behalf of Crystal Cruises or to obtain visas on Crystal Cruises behalf. Any use of Crystal Cruises’ name and trademarks by these persons or entities is not authorized, sanctioned or endorsed by Crystal Cruises.

Please note that offers for shipboard employment can be made only through the authorized agents listed on this website.

We have recently learned that the fictitious company that refers to itself as “Crystal Cruise Line— and now purports to be located in Hindmarsh, Australia is again emailing individuals and making unauthorized offers of employment on cruise ships operated by Crystal Cruises, Inc. This is a fictitious company, and all offers of employment to work for Crystal Cruises that are purportedly made by this company are fictitious. Crystal Cruises has no connection with this company.

In addition to the email addresses included in our July 2013 notice (see below), the fictitious employment offer emails have also been sent primarily from the e-mail address: crystalcruisecareer@anaustralian.com by persons using the aliases Mrs. T.H. Kotzee (HR Department) and/or Mr. Howard Greenberg (Assistant Director, HR Department). These emails still appear to be targeting persons who reside in South Africa. Please see our July 2013 notice (below) for more information about this scam.

Please be warned that Crystal Cruise Line, Mrs. T.H. Kotzee and Mr. Howard Greenberg are not authorized to solicit or accept employees on behalf of Crystal Cruises. Any use of Crystal Cruises’ name and trademarks by these persons or entities is not authorized, sanctioned or endorsed by Crystal Cruises.

We also recently learned that a person or persons using the alias “Mr. James Brown, Managing Director— is posing as a representative from the International Cruise Management Agency, and has been purporting to offer employment on cruise ships operated in Oslo, Norway. Although International Cruise Management Agency (ICMA) is an authorized agent of Crystal Cruises, there is no person named James Brown employed by this company, and Crystal Cruises has not authorized any person named James Brown to solicit employment on its behalf. The letters initiating the scam seem to be originating in India or Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Please note, ICMA is located in Oslo, Norway. These letters ask the applicant to send “part time processing fees— in order to prevent the job offer from “lapsing.— These letters also state that if the job offer lapses, the applicant will be “responsible for the loss.—

Crystal Cruises does not require prospective employees to pay any processing fees to secure employment on board its ships.

Please be warned that “Mr. James Brown— is not authorized to solicit or accept employees on behalf of Crystal Cruises. Any use of Crystal Cruises or ICMA’s name and trademarks by this person is not authorized, sanctioned or endorsed by Crystal Cruises.
