I have recently fallen victim to this scam. A recruitment company in Australia and then “George Sprecher” contacted me. I flew all the way from Australia to Norway to do a Ferry Flight in a B737 from Oslo, Norway to Melbourne, Australia. Obviously, when I arrived in Norway, there was no ferry flight as there was no aircraft.
Thankfully, I didn’t lose any money to “George” however I did come close. One of the highlights of the adventure was the recruitmenr company initially refusing to get me a ticket to fly me out of Norway, saying it was my decision to go there in the first place! Unbelievable for a ‘reputable’ recruitment agency to behave in such a way. Sure, they weren’t getting paid for the ‘ferry flight’, however I thought they would have been responsible for getting me home.
If anyone would like further info, only too pleased to help any authorities and pass on the information that I have. Please email
