Recent increase in fake "job placement" cases
In recent years, the hope of quickly and easily earning money through working abroad has increased among the population. This has become a means of profit for some individuals. Cases of promising job placements through various "intermediaries," agencies, or personal connections are on the rise.
Law enforcement agencies are urging the public not to fall for such fake promises and to seek employment only through official channels.
The Zamin.uz editorial team appeals: if suspicious individuals offer you job opportunities abroad and demand large sums of money — report this to the relevant authorities. Your family’s wealth and safety are the top priority.
