Therefore, Rina asked related agencies to educate the public not to be complacent about fraud with job vacancies circulating on social media by promising to work as operators of online games, customer services, marketing, and others to conflicting countries.
"So we are very careful in applying for jobs through job vacancies that are not clear, cross-check the validity first. Because in our notes, Indonesian citizens in this sector are increasingly spreading, which was previously only recorded in the Philippines and Cambodia, now it is in Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, and even the UAE (Union of the Arab Emirates)," he concluded.
