Boundary: This statement is about an authorised Romanian placement agency. It does not by itself determine the legality of every payment to an overseas intermediary.
What to do next
- Do not label the payment simply “legal” or “illegal” from the amount.
- Ask for the recipient’s full legal name, licence/registration, written breakdown and receipt.
- Preserve the message demanding payment and check the origin-country agency in its official register.
- Check whether the Romanian-side placement agency/employer identity matches your offer and contract.
