WINNIPEG - The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority is warning about false offers of employment being emailed to nurses and health-care workers in the Philippines.

The authority says it has learned that the scammers are asking for $90 in exchange for what they are calling a British English training fee.

The health authority says the job offers aren't legitimate.

The authority clued into the scam after it received a number of queries from Winnipeg relatives of those who received the offers.

Police have been alerted.
