JOHANNESBURG - Government is warning women and young people against taking up fake job offers on social media.
The latest scam targets young women, falsely promising lucrative opportunities in Russia.
What’s even more concerning is that they are being promoted by social media influencers making the deception seem even more credible.
Minister for Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities, Sindisiwe Chikunga, said the Russian job offers are a scam.
"Any recruitment that most take place in South Africa must be a bilateral agreement between South Africa and the other country," she said.
"It has to be done through the diplomatic channels."
