Suspicious RegionUp. You need a premium account just to read a message in your inbox, Once you signed up(US$149 for 6 mths), you MUST turn off the auto-renewal or they will charge you again for 6 mths-US$198 (they have since changed to monthly plan). Did not get any calls during my 1 year subscription despite various applications. When my premium account just expired, I received a inbox message again.

limo company scam
 
RSS LIMO PTE LTD, company based in Singapore will trick u in joining their company as a full time driver, but will ask to register uber and drive and everyday expected to earn $200 for the company for 26 days in a month.they will also ask for deposit of $180 and they not refund. Petrol they pay 70% only. End of the month they will pay u $1800. Initially they say part of their job is driving for uber but it is the full time job. End of the day they eat your money. They also won't give any appointment letter. After you join and think that they have tricked you and want to leave, they won't give u your salary and the $180 deposit. Please be beware of this company.I have given their advertisement link below.

RegionUp scam
 
I agree RegionUp is most likely a scam site. Don't use it.

If you can get those high paying jobs on RegionUp in the first place, headhunters will be contacting you. No need to pay for RegionUp membership.

Dear sunnycarnival,

We are sorry to hear about your experience with us. The auto-renewal setting in your account can actually be turned off easily to avoid unnecessary charges. If you feel that you've been charged by mistake, do let us know and we'll refund any unused service.

We also understand your situation as you've not gotten any feedback from recruiters. To continually value-add our service, we actively help our Premium subscribers look out for suitable jobs and recruiters to reach out to. If you'd like to find out more, feel free to drop us an email.

Regards,
RegionUP Support

Unethical
 
There is some serious Ethics problem here. in Most countries, Hong Kong included, it is illegal to charge a Job seeker or candidate for recruitment services, this is the explicit responsibility of the Employer who is paying for the salary and service in finding people, someone looking for a job is of course in need of earning money, and needs to make their money last till they get the next paying position. When I see the free time, but needs a credit card, I will stop right their. why can I not have the free time without giving my credit card? this is just a trick. 1 good thing is you can get the credit card to refund and then they will chase or refuse to pass on the fee to the company.
I think this comes down to the Singapore Way of doing things,Ethics is not a consider factor in Singapore culture.

Dear Guest,

Thank you for sharing your views. With regards to this, we'd like to also share that RegionUP does not actually provide recruitment services; rather, we are a subscription-based career platform dedicated to provide and give access to mid-to-senior level jobs. If one prefers to be more active in his/her job hunt, s/he is free to upgrade to Premium. That being said, upgrading to Premium is entirely optional and you can choose to remain as a Free Member on the site if you want to.

We hope this addresses your concerns. Feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] for further inquiries. We'd be more than happy to hear from you. Have a good day ahead!

Regards,
RegionUP Support

Why is your response not more personable? For eg., provide your and contact number so that present and potential customers can contact you for clarification and to allay their fears that your company is a scam.

I feel that this the best way to settle this debate about the company legitimacy.
