Dear Sir,
Unemployment is becoming an increasingly pressing concern in the country. Taking advantage of young people’s desperation to find work, fraudsters are devising new ways to deceive jobseekers through fake job advertisements, bogus training offers and false promises of overseas employment. In many cases, they collect money by guaranteeing jobs and then disappear, block victims’ phone numbers or cut off all communication. Consequently, jobseekers suffer not only financial losses but also emotional distress and uncertainty.
Many families lose their hard-earned savings, fall into debt and see their hopes of employment shattered. Such practices also erode young people's trust in legitimate employment opportunities and undermine a healthy recruitment environment. This situation is unacceptable and demands urgent attention.
I therefore urge law-enforcement agencies and the relevant authorities to identify those behind these fraudulent schemes, take effective action against them and ensure exemplary punishment for the perpetrators.
