Yes. If any oil rig worker you may be corresponding with asks you to help out with a loan or other because they cant access their money DO NOT FALL FOR IT. Of course an oil rig worker can have access to his money. Working offshore today does not mean being cut off from civilization.

How many days can you work offshore?

In offshore operations, workers often work 7 to 14 days in a row, 12 hours a day, and then have 7 to 14 days off. For offshore rigs located far from the coast, drilling crew members live on ships anchored nearby or in facilities on the platform itself.
