Bad people trick Malawian job seekers with fake offers abroad. Police warn about posts on Facebook and Telegram that promise high pay in Malaysia and other Asian countries. These scammers show papers with great monthly wages and free plane tickets to make the deals look real.
The government asks citizens to check with Labor Ministry officials before accepting overseas jobs. This advice comes after three Malawians came home last month from trafficking networks that caught them through online ads. Officials said these three were part of 9,032 foreigners caught in Myanmar for illegal entry and computer crimes.
Many young Malawians try to leave the country because they need work and money. Hard times at home push them to look elsewhere for better chances, making them easy targets for crooks who want to exploit them.
