Watch out! Lure of a foreign job can land you in a big trouble

Many Indians seeking high-paying jobs abroad found themselves trapped in cyber crime operations in Southeast Asia, particularly in Cambodia. These scams, orchestrated by Chinese nationals, involved victims being forced to carry out online frauds targeting the Indian population. The Indian government has been collaborating with local authorities to rescue trapped individuals. Job seekers are advised to thoroughly verify potential employers before accepting any offers. Victims typically came across seemingly legitimate job postings on social media and ended up working in conditions akin to virtual prisons.
