There are incidents that have been registered with the cyber crimes unit where the job
proposition has turned out to be a lie. The company assures the position and uses it as
a way to extort people of their money in the form of security deposits.

distrust to these job offers and said that their only intention is to get some money out of
it and they have lost faith in the job arrangement altogether.

Proquest says, be aware and safe from the first step of the way. To know about the

They urge people to be informed and make sure there is a good amount of time and
effort spent on getting to know the company in excruciating detail.

hard-earned money and take extra effort from the overburdened and under-equipped
police force.
