The Jamaica Constabulary Force, JCF, is urging job seekers, especially young adults, to ensure that employment agencies are legitimate companies before engaging in any business with them.
According to the police, employment agencies are being used as a ploy to defraud people of cash and in more serious cases, to lure people into situations where they are robbed or are otherwise victimized.
The JCF says these fake agencies use different ways to advertise, but the use of social media is especially common.
