who we are
Prevention Vs. Cure (PvsC) is a web-based, job vetting agency.
Established in April 2015, we have a heart to see Human Trafficking abolished and injustice ended. By partnering with other anti-Human Trafficking organisations, locally and abroad, we can fight Human Trafficking and in effect end it.
Prevention Vs. Cure (PvsC) is an initiative of STOP (Stop Trafficking Of People), which has been operating in the anti-Human Trafficking arena since 2008. As an offshoot of STOP, PvsC is 100% focused on the prevention of Human Trafficking and scams. If we can prevent a person from being trafficked then time and resources don’t have to be spent on the process of restoration.
why do we exist?
We exist to prevent Human Trafficking and scams. We will investigate your plan, free of charge. We will also make sure that where you are traveling to is safe, warn you of Human Trafficking hot spots and look into whether your potential employers and their job offer is legitimate.
an ounce of prevention goes a long way
Complaints about job opportunity scams are increasing. If you’re not sure about a job offer, contact us. We can look into it for you.
job scams
Dishonest people are sometimes called scammers. They might promise to help you find a job or promise to give you a job. The scammers promise to help you if you pay them. But after the scammers take your money, you get nothing.
Many times, what they ask for is payment in favours or labour, which opens the door for Human Trafficking to take place and make a victim of you.
Not all job opportunities are legitimate and not all employers have your best interests at heart. Make sure that you know what you are getting yourself into, before saying yes.

watch out for red flags
Scammers make all kinds of promises, but nothing ever comes of it – and it ends up costing you something.
tips for self analysis
You can prevent from becoming a victim of exploitation by reviewing a job opportunity by asking yourself these questions:
- Am I being asked to travel to my interview and the employer is going to organise the transportation?
- Did I apply for the job or did the employer contact me out of nowhere?
- Does the job offer sound too good to be true?
- Has the employer requested payment upfront for a uniform, work documents, etc?
- Has the employer asked for any personal details, a photo of yourself or for you to bring important documents (passport, birth certificate) with you to the interview?
- Has the employer promised you accommodation?
- Have you done your own research on the company/business/person and do you feel like they are telling the truth?
If you have answered NO to these questions and are doubtful of the job offer – fill out the form and send us the information so we can investigate it for you.
