Expose Scam 2025: Cruise Ship Job Scam – blueseastar.in

Scammers are aggressively targeting job seekers in the cruise ship and maritime industry with a new wave of fake recruitment schemes. Operating under names like “Blue Sea Star”, these fraudsters are exploiting the dreams of hardworking individuals by creating entirely fake companies with one goal: to steal your money.

How the Scam Works:

These fraudsters use convincing tactics to appear legitimate. Here’s what they typically do:

 Register multiple fake companies with professional-looking websites and logos
 Send fake offer letters claiming to provide cruise ship jobs on international vessels
 Demand multiple types of fraudulent fees, such as:

• FAKE Marine Membership Fees

• FAKE Registration Charges

• FAKE Medical Examination Fees

• FAKE Visa Processing or Clearance Charges

• No Valid GST Number or Government Certification

Once they collect your money, they vanish. There is:

•  No real recruitment

•  No cruise ship contract

•  No visa issued

Their only goal is to exploit job seekers for financial gain—not to provide employment.

The Blue Sea Star Deception

BlueSeaStar.in presents itself as a global recruitment agency offering attractive jobs in the shipping, cruise, and oil & gas sectors. The website claims to provide job placements across Europe, the Gulf, and Southeast Asia.

But in truth, this company is a scam:

•  No government approval or maritime licensing

•  No affiliation with verified cruise or shipping companies

•  No track record of actual placements

•  Fake contact details and unverifiable credentials
