Fake jobs and dangerous deposits


JOHOR BARU: A syndicate has been using a renowned luxury hotel brand to scam job seekers, with one of the victims losing about RM80,000 just four days after being “hired”.

The syndicate – which advertised job opportunities for people to work from the comfort of their homes – would send the job seekers an ecopy of a Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) registration with the hotel name to get them on board.
