Scam messages pretending to be employment services

During the summer, the number and types of scam messages seem to increase. Recently, scam messages have appeared offering job opportunities on behalf of the Employment Services recruitment team. These messages do not originate from the employment authorities, and the authorities do not send such messages. For example, joining various WhatsApp or Telegram groups may expose you to such phishing and scam messages. In these cases, you should proceed as you would with any other suspicious message: check the sender's email address or phone number. If it seems suspicious, do not respond to the message, but delete it.
