Protect Yourself from Fake Agencies and Illegal Agents

Complete guide to recognising and avoiding scams in the world of night venues

Protect yourself from scams in the night venue industry

⚠️ Scam Alert in the Industry

Online you may come across misleading offers and fake agencies promising jobs in night venues. Before accepting an offer, check who is making it and ask for written conditions: here you will find the useful checks and the risk signals.

When is an offer risky?

A job offer is at risk when the person proposing it, for example:

  • Shows no VAT number nor a registered business
  • Provides no written conditions or receipts
  • Asks for money in advance without a documented reason
  • Pushes you to leave without written conditions
  • Promises unrealistic financial results
  • Has no verifiable identity, office or company details

⚡ Immediate Warning Signs

  • • Undocumented requests for money
  • • Unverifiable identity or company details
  • • Pressure to leave without written conditions
  • • They contact you only via WhatsApp or Telegram
  • • They refuse video calls or preliminary meetings
  • • Unrealistic financial promises

How to protect yourself: the verification checklist

1. Check the VAT number

The VAT number (Partita IVA) is a useful detail to check. You can check it for free on the website of the Italian Revenue Agency:

Check a VAT number →

2. Check the Business Register

Check that the agency is listed in the Italian Business Register (Registro Imprese) at the Chamber of Commerce. You can do it for free here:

Search the Business Register →

3. Website and social profiles

VAT number, Business Register, identity of the business, website and social profiles are useful elements to check, but none of them alone certifies reliability or compliance.

4. Requests for money

Applying with SD is free of charge. Beware of undocumented requests for money ("registration fees", "bookings" or other payments without written conditions). Any deposit for accommodation concerns the venue, under written conditions communicated in advance: SD does not hold it.
