CrimeaPRESS reports:
Nowadays, many citizens who want to find a job use the Internet to search for suitable vacancies. Note that in this case, the danger of becoming a victim of remote scammers acting under the guise of private employment agencies is not ruled out. One such example is provided by the police of Sevastopol.
The victim of the attackers was a 17-year-old teenager who found an ad on one of the popular sites with a tempting offer of paid employment assistance.
The young man transferred more than 6 thousand rubles to the swindlers as a reward, but he was never provided with an intermediary service. Realizing that he had been deceived, the victim turned to the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Leninsky district. Currently, the employees of the criminal investigation department are taking all the necessary measures aimed at identifying and searching for the criminal , — said the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city of Sevastopol.
In order to avoid such cases, the Sevastopol police urges citizens to take precautionary measures. If you have found an advertisement for assistance in finding a job for a certain fee, we recommend that before transferring money to strangers, critically consider their tempting offer.
Remember: under the guise of private intermediaries, remote scammers can act who are trying to profit at your expense. The demand to immediately transfer money for the provided information about vacancies (without making sure of its reliability), as well as the promise of very high wages under comfortable working conditions, should arouse suspicion. In any case, do not agree to transfer funds to strangers until you are convinced of their good faith. Ask the prospective intermediary as many clarifying questions as possible (for example, about the address and management of the company he represents, about the legality of the activity and its registration with the relevant government agencies).
Note that the most acceptable option for job seekers is to apply to the Employment Center, which provides citizens with free services. In Sevastopol, this state organization is located at the following address: Rudneva Street, d. 40 , the police remind.
If you have suffered from a crime, then you must immediately contact the nearest territorial unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia or report it by phone 102.
