A Zhytomyr-based job agency that collected advance fees, put workers in housing clients describe as unfit, then blocked every phone and social account once complaints started. Over 40 people reportedly lost money. Three separate fraud databases flagged this operation. Here's what the paperwork actually shows.
Services: Overseas employment placement (Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia), work visa processing, housing arrangement, document support, transfers
Location: Zhytomyr, Ukraine. Velyka Berdychivska St. 35a, 2nd floor (Google Maps)
Founded: 2019 per company claim. First Web Archive snapshot: October 27, 2021 (which raises a question).
Phone: +38 067 594 37 16, +38 067 594 37 26
Email: [email protected]
Website: denysiukjob.com.ua (WHOIS)
Registration: FOP (sole entrepreneur), KVED 78.10, February 19, 2019
Key finding: The agency appears on three separate anti-scam databases (moshennik.eu, telltrue.net, ScamAdviser) and carries an aggregate rating of 1.08 out of 5 based on documented client complaints. The license it once held under the old Ukrainian employment law is not found in the new post-2023 Ministry of Economy registry.
Based on 1.08/5 from verified data points across multiple review platforms and fraud databases
The agency is registered in Ukraine as an FOP (Fizychna Osoba Pidpryiemets, roughly equivalent to a sole trader or individual entrepreneur). Registration date: February 19, 2019. Activity code: KVED 78.10 ("Activities of employment placement agencies"). This data is searchable through OpenDataBot and analytical platforms like Vkursi and Clarity Project.
Here's where things get confusing. Different official registries and analytical systems list different names as the FOP owner: Denisiuk Oleksandr Mykolayovych appears in some records, Denisiuk Oleksandr Mykhailovych in others, and Denisiuk Ihor Mykhailovych in a third set. These contradictions haven't been publicly resolved. All three names appear at the same business address.
The agency held License No. 423 from Ukraine's Ministry of Social Policy, issued March 21, 2019. Under the previous legal framework this license covered employment mediation and labor export. But Ukraine's employment agency legislation changed in October 2023. The new system requires agencies to register through a declarative process with the Ministry of Economy. Denisiuk Job is not found in that new registry. The original license's validity ended by April 14, 2024 at the latest. That means the agency has been operating, or at least advertising, without a current verifiable license for some time. Contact their team directly if you need clarification on current licensing status, but the official records don't show one.
The main domain is denysiukjob.com.ua (note the single "i" in "denysyuk"). WHOIS data for .com.ua domains is limited. The earliest confirmed Web Archive snapshot dates to October 27, 2021, despite the company claiming a 2019 founding. That's a two-year gap with no archived evidence of online presence. It doesn't prove anything on its own, but it's worth noting if you're trying to verify the agency's history.
Analytical systems flag connections between the FOP and criminal proceedings. No public convictions were found in open court databases at the time of this investigation. That doesn't mean all is clear. It means the court system is slow, not that clients haven't tried. If you're considering working with this agency, run a check through OpenDataBot or a similar Ukrainian registry tool before paying anything.
| Area | Risk | What we found | What to expect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | high | No published pricing anywhere on the site or in directories. Clients report being charged 300 PLN per month for housing that employers were actually providing for free. That's roughly $75 per month extracted with no basis. | Expect undisclosed costs after you've already paid and are abroad. Difficult to recover money once you're in another country with the agency holding your documents. |
| Contract | high | Contracts are structured as "information and consulting services" agreements. This framing means the agency has zero legal obligation to actually place you in a job. You paid for advice, not placement. Classic legal shield used by fraudulent agencies. | You can't sue for non-placement under a consulting contract. Any legal case becomes much harder and more expensive to pursue. |
| Timelines | high | Multiple clients document document processing delays of 3+ months. Staff reportedly gave dates that never materialized. One complaint describes dates as "made up from thin air" when clients called to check status. | No guarantees on timelines. Agency goes silent after payment. If you have a firm departure date, this is a serious problem. |
| Fraud risk | high | Listed on moshennik.eu, telltrue.net, and ScamAdviser as high-risk or fraudulent. Over 40 individuals reportedly scammed. Agency systematically deletes negative reviews and blocks critics. Pattern of collecting payment then cutting all contact is well-documented. | Real risk of losing your advance payment entirely. If blocked after paying, recovery options are limited without a written contract that specifies deliverables. |
| Refunds | high | No refund policy found on the site or in any client documentation. Complaints consistently report that money was not returned even when jobs were never provided. Agency blocks communication as soon as refund requests start. | Assume zero refund in practice. Your only recourse is a police report and a civil claim, both of which cost time, money, and rarely succeed quickly in cross-border situations. |
| ✅ | Physical office address is real. The Zhytomyr address (Velyka Berdychivska St. 35a, 2nd floor) is a verifiable location, not a virtual mailbox or P.O. box. At minimum, someone can go there. |
| ✅ | Officially registered FOP since February 19, 2019. The agency is not operating completely in the shadows. It has a registered business entity in Ukrainian state records. That's a baseline level of legal existence. |
| ✅ | Held a valid Ministry of Social Policy license (No. 423, March 2019). At some point the agency went through a formal licensing process. This is not nothing, even if the license is now expired or lapsed. |
| ⚠️ | Three different owner names across official registries. Denisiuk Oleksandr Mykolayovych, Denisiuk Oleksandr Mykhailovych, and Denisiuk Ihor Mykhailovych all appear at the same address in different record sets. This contradiction hasn't been explained publicly. |
| ⚠️ | License not found in post-2023 Ministry of Economy registry. After Ukraine changed employment agency law in October 2023, agencies had to re-register by declaration. Denisiuk Job doesn't appear in the new list. Its current right to operate as a licensed employment agency is unclear. |
| ⚠️ | Web Archive shows no site before October 2021, despite a 2019 founding claim. A two-year gap in online presence could just mean they didn't archive well. But it could also mean the "2019" date is inflated to appear more established. |
| ⚠️ | Analytical systems flag connections to criminal proceedings. No public convictions confirmed, but the flags exist in Vkursi and Clarity Project data. Worth checking before engaging with the agency. |
| ❌ | Advance payment required before any service is delivered. You pay before documents are processed, before a job is confirmed, before you travel. If the agency disappears, your money is gone. |
| ❌ | Over 40 people reportedly left without jobs AND without refunds. This is documented across otzyvtut.com, Layboard, and anti-scam databases. The 40+ figure comes from public complaint aggregators, not a single source. |
| ❌ | Agency systematically deletes negative reviews and blocks critics on social media. This isn't one or two angry clients. Multiple platforms describe a pattern of review suppression and account blocking immediately after money changes hands. |
| ❌ | Three anti-scam databases have flagged this agency. moshennik.eu calls it a fraud. telltrue.net labels it a "scam" ("lohotron"). ScamAdviser rates denysiukjob.com.ua as low trust. These are independent sources reaching the same conclusion. |
| ❌ | "Consulting agreement" contract structure strips you of placement rights. Signing an "information services" contract means the agency can legally argue it fulfilled its obligations by giving you some job listings, regardless of whether you got hired. |
| ❌ | Housing conditions described as unfit, with hidden deductions. Clients report 300 PLN/month charged for housing that employers were providing for free. And the housing itself is described in multiple reviews as overcrowded and unsanitary. |
This isn't complicated. The agency advertises jobs in Czech Republic and Poland on social media. It posts YouTube videos showing warehouse interiors in Tachov and Pilsen (the channel "ROBOTA ZA KORDONOM VID OLEKSANDRA DENISIUKA" has around 254 subscribers and videos from 2020-2021). The videos look real. Some jobs were real, at least early on.
You contact the agency. A coordinator named Valentyn, Inna, or Tatiana responds quickly. You get excited about a warehouse job in Tachov at a company like Loxxess or Daikin. Then comes the advance payment. Then the dates shift. Then the phone goes quiet. Then you're blocked.
That's the pattern documented across otzyvtut.com, Layboard, and komentish.com. The agency's partner on the Polish side, a company called Lintar Pl sp.zo.o, receives separate complaints about deducting housing costs from wages despite workers being told housing was free. The two layers of the scheme work together: the Ukrainian agency collects the advance, the Polish coordinator collects housing deductions from your paycheck.
On otzyvua.net, the agency has a 4.9 out of 5 rating from 16 reviews. Sounds great. But look at the pattern: generic positive language, no specific dates or locations mentioned, while every negative review documents precise sums, timelines, and names of staff members. The negative reviews read like police reports. The positive ones read like marketing copy.
On platforms the agency doesn't control, the picture is the opposite. And multiple sources confirm that critics get blocked on social media once complaints start. A real company responds to bad reviews. This one reportedly deletes them.
The public face is Oleksandr Denisiuk, who appears on the YouTube channel and in social media posts. Staff named in client complaints include coordinators Valentyn (+380686423052), Inna, Maryna, Tatiana, and a foreign-based coordinator named Evgeniy. The FOP ownership discrepancies (three different names across registries) suggest the legal structure may be more complex than a simple one-person operation.

Three independent anti-scam databases say yes. moshennik.eu calls it a fraud operation. telltrue.net uses the word "lohotron" (scam). ScamAdviser rates denysiukjob.com.ua as low trust. Over 40 individuals have filed public complaints about losing advance payments without receiving work or refunds. The aggregate rating across documented sources is 1.08 out of 5. That's not a coincidence.
Yes, clients consistently report that the agency demands upfront payment before documents are processed or travel is arranged. Multiple complaints document the same sequence: pay the advance, receive vague timelines, get blocked. If an agency requires full advance payment before confirming your employer, job title, salary, and start date in writing, that's a major warning sign regardless of which agency it is.
The agency advertises placements in Czech Republic (warehouse work in the Tachov/Pilsen area, employers like Loxxess and Daikin appear in their videos), Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia. Construction assembly work and factory positions are also mentioned. That said, clients frequently report that the actual job offered after payment differs significantly from what was described during recruitment.
The agency held License No. 423 from Ukraine's Ministry of Social Policy, issued March 21, 2019. After Ukrainian employment agency law changed in October 2023, the new system requires declarative registration with the Ministry of Economy. Denisiuk Job does not appear in that new registry as of this investigation. Its operating license appears to have lapsed. Contact Ukraine's Ministry of Economy directly if you want current confirmation.
Public complaint platforms and anti-scam aggregators document over 40 individuals who report losing advance payments. The "40+ people" figure appears across multiple independent sources including otzyvtut.com, proverj.com, and general complaint databases. The agency reportedly responds to this by deleting reviews and blocking the accounts that posted them, which makes the real number difficult to verify but almost certainly higher than what's publicly visible.
File a complaint with Ukraine's National Police (Natsionalna Politsiia) and the Ministry of Economy's employment service department. Keep every message, payment receipt, contract, and phone record. If you already traveled abroad and were abandoned, contact the local labor inspectorate in your destination country and the nearest Ukrainian consulate. Document everything before time blurs the details.
You can leave a review at migration.us.com, which collects independent reports about employment and immigration agencies. Client experiences are also documented at proverj.com/denisiuk-job/. Other platforms include Layboard.com and otzyvtut.com. Writing a detailed, factual review helps the next person avoid the same situation.
I've been working in immigration and overseas employment since 2011. In that time I've seen hundreds of agencies, good and bad. Denisiuk Job lands in a category I'd call "documented fraud with a paper trail." That's actually more specific than a lot of operations I review, where nothing can be confirmed either way.
What concerns me here is the contract structure. Using an "information consulting" agreement to sell a job placement service is a deliberate legal move, not an oversight. Someone sat down and decided that framing protects them from the consequences of not delivering jobs. That's not negligence. That's planning.
The housing deduction scheme is also specific. Charging workers 300 PLN per month for accommodation that the Polish employer provides for free is a separate revenue stream built into the operation. When a Ukrainian agency and a Polish partner company are both extracting money from the same worker through different mechanisms, you're looking at a coordinated arrangement, not independent failures.
On the positive side: the agency has a real address, a real registration number, and once held a real license. That means it's findable, and complaints filed with Ukrainian authorities have something to attach to. That's more than you can say for agencies that exist only as a phone number and a Telegram channel.
But findable and trustworthy are not the same thing. Three anti-scam databases flagged this operation independently. Over 40 people say they lost money. The license is gone. The pattern of deleting reviews and blocking clients after payment is consistent across too many sources to be coincidence.
My recommendation: don't use this agency. If you're looking for work in Czech Republic or Poland, go through EURES, the EU's official mobility network, or contact employers directly using verified job boards. The route that costs nothing upfront and puts a written contract in your hands before you board a bus is always the safer one.
