The warning reflects growing global concern over cross-border financial crimes targeting migrant communities
Authorities across multiple countries have issued a global advisory warning of a surge in overseas job fraud targeting Indian migrants, with cases reported within the past 24 hours. The advisory highlights increasing use of digital platforms to lure victims.
Scammers are offering high-paying jobs abroad in exchange for upfront fees, often using fake documentation and company identities. “These schemes are becoming more sophisticated,” officials warned.
Indian authorities and diaspora organisations are urging individuals to verify job offers through official channels.
Experts note that economic aspirations and lack of awareness make migrants vulnerable to such scams.
For Indian nationals, the advisory emphasises caution and due diligence.
