U MUTNIM VODAMA: Pomorci na meti lažnih agencija

Osim s valovima oceana, pomorci se u 2020. godini bore i s valovima pandemije, a upravo je u tijeku takozvani „drugi val“, no nisu to jedini valovi koji zapljuskuju pramac ovoga usijanog broda. Tu su još i valovi poreznih nameta, valovi poskupljenja života, valovi birokracije, ali i valovi prevara. Za njih su se pobrinuli agenti za ukrcaje, dakako, oni lažni. Ljudi bez imalo empatičnosti, dobroga odgoja i poštenja, s posrnulim moralom i dobrom pričom iza koje se krije prava horor groznica, neke su pomorce skupo stajali. Da Internet ima svojih prednosti i mana, odavno je poznato, a pokazalo se to i na slučajevima lažnih agencija za ukrcaje pomoraca.

U bespućima protoka mrežnih podataka, pretražujući teme vezane uz pomorstvo, može se naići i na oglase agencija za ukrcaje. Osim već svima poznatih agencija, pojavljuju se i nove, tek ili, pak, nedavno otvorene agencije. Dio tih agencija posluje legalno i uistinu ukrcava pomorce na brodove, a dio tjera pomorce u vode visokog financijskog i podatkovnog rizika. Te agencije u većini slučajeva imaju primamljiva strana imena i to je, najčešće, jedino lijepo i primamljivo što se može s njima povezati. Registrirane su u zemljama trećega svijeta ili pak na njivama i pašnjacima neke europske zemlje. Pretraživanjem adresa i brojeva takvih „poslovnih“ subjekata, nailazi se na čitav niz apsurda – od telefonskih brojeva koji ne postoje, preko onih koji spajaju na operatere za pružanje raznih telefonskih usluga, pa sve do ureda registriranih u poljima obraslim šikarom na obalama Sredozemlja. Ponekad je jedini način za stupanje u kontakt s istima putem elektroničke pošte, a neki su otišli toliko daleko da su svoju internetsku stranicu otvorili na blog servisima. Da to ne bi bilo sve, osim ukrcaja nude i razne potvrdnice o položenim tečajevima u zamjenu za novčane svote upola manje od onih stvarnih, a kod nekih je moguće dobiti i popunjenu pomorsku knjižicu, naravno, uz dobru nadoplatu i, naravno, efekt magičnog nestanka email adrese i novca.

Osim ukrcaja na teretne brodove, postoje i oni koji ukrcavaju bijelo osoblje na brodove za kružna putovanja. Oni su otišli toliko daleko s dizajnom i lažiranjem podataka da, praktički, zvuče potpuno realno. Imena su im gotovo identična imenima pravih kompanija, ali oni uz ukrcaj nude i plaćeni godišnji odmor u trajanju od, najčešće, dva tjedna na nekoj od egzotičnih lokacija, ali ne samo za osobu koju su ukrcali, već i za njezinog partnera ili čitavu obitelj jer agenciji za ukrcaj, kako kažu, izvrsno ide i odlično posluje usprkos pandemiji.

Osim uzimanja novca bez ikakvog poslovnog-pravnog razloga i drugoga pokrića, ovakve lažne agencije sklone su i krađi podataka, pa je velika opasnost prijeti onome tko im ustupi svoje osobne dokumente, te podatke iz banke. Oni koji su specijalizirali takve načine prevara za svoje osobne interese su i samostalni agenti za ukrcaje, pa su i pojave takvih sve češće. Dobra i usklađena priča, plaća nešto viša nego kod konkurencije, posada iste nacionalnosti kao i pomorac, te stalno uposlen brod na ustaljenim rutama pravi su mamac za mlade, neiskusne i naivne, a zaluta i poneka iskusnija duša.

Da ovakvo što ne bi zadesilo još nekoga, obratite pažnju na strogo precizirana imena agencija, kao i njihove adrese, te kontakte. Ne srljajte s davanjima dokumenata na uvid osobama koje prvi put vidite, a nisu potvrdile status kojim se predstavljaju s vjerodostojnom ispravom. U svijetu kapitala ne postoje velike usluge za male svote novca, kao ni brze alternative do „američkog sna“. Ako se ekonomska i moralna kriza svijeta nastavi produbljivati, za očekivati je sve veći broj kriminalnih slučajeva ovoga tipa, odnosno pokušaja prevare na bilo kakav način i bilo koga, pa među njima i one koji svoju sreću, komad kruha i krov nad glavom pronalaze negdje daleko na valovima koji su krvotok modernog svijeta – među pomorcima.
