The Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment (SLBFE) says complaints received by the Bureau regarding financial fraud incidents involving foreign job offers advertised through social media are increasing day by day.
Investigations have revealed that the majority of these advertisements are fake and have not received approval from the Bureau.
Therefore, the SLBFE urges job seekers to verify whether the institution offering such jobs is legally registered with a valid license from the Bureau, and whether the job opportunity has been officially approved by the Bureau, before making any payments or handing over travel documents.
Furthermore, if anyone has information about fraudulent institutions or individuals, the SLBFE requests that they report it to the Police Unit of the Special Investigations Division via 0112882228 or the hotline 1989. (Newswire)
