Kulim, 12th June 2023 - Malaysian job scam victims who end up stranded in foreign countries are those easily swayed by advertisements on social media offering job opportunities with attractive salaries and other benefits.
Home Minister, Datuk Seri
Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said subsequently, their family members or parents would lodge a missing person''s report or seek help to locate them abroad.
The root cause is the tendency to be easily manipulated into believing the social media campaigns where they are offered lucrative income, comfortable accommodation, paid plane fares and all kinds of things when working abroad.
“And when they get there, things are not as promised. Only a few are able to contact the police,” he told Bernama.
