As part of my profession which deals with various domestic worker recruitment activities, I have always witnessed various cases where many women from India came to the UAE with a promise of a job offer as a domestic worker but got trapped here.
These poor women are coming with a hope of finding a better living to their loved ones back in India, but the agencies whom they believed contributes to the very miserable conditions for most of these ladies. Domestic worker job field is one of the areas I'm personally involved with my works based on recruitment of maid and nanny in Dubai from various countries.
The case of agencies luring the candidates with attractive job offers not only restricted to domestic workers, but it is prevailing in most other job fields as well. So, to avoid being trapped, or at least to be careful oursleves a bit, I can say that verifying the legal registration details of any UAE company is important.
If you get any Dubai job offer from an agency, ask them the company name and other business details, then enter the company name in the below UAE ministry provided link to check whether they are legally registered or not:

Doing this process, you can make sure that the company is a real existing one.
Hope it helps someone in their pursuit of a reliable job in UAE.
