Pakistan cyber agency warns public against fraudulent overseas job offers

The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) warned job seekers to verify recruitment offers to avoid falling victim to financial fraud and identity theft. Cybercriminals are advertising fraudulent overseas employment opportunities to deceive people into paying for visas, registration, and processing fees.
Scammers may use these fake recruitment offers as a means to collect sensitive documents, banking information, and other personal details. To protect themselves, the NCCIA recommends that citizens apply through authorised recruitment channels and verify employers via reliable sources or official websites.
The agency advises against paying any advance fees to recruiters whose legitimacy remains unconfirmed. Individuals should never share banking details, passwords, or one-time passwords (OTPs) with unknown parties.
Citizens are urged to report any cybercrime incidents through the agency's helpline at 1799.
