Young people need to be aware of scams for sending seasonal workers to the Republic of Korea, an official from Myanmar Overseas Employment Agencies Federation warned.
It is still trying to send seasonal workers to the Republic of Korea. However, in reality, there are many cases in which brokers have asked for money, saying they would send, he said.
“The sending of seasonal workers doesn’t launch yet. We have still tried to help our local agencies to send workers officially. However, there are many cases in which brokers have cheated young peopleokers. So our young people have to be aware of it,” he said.
Brokers have deceived many young people, and some even pay them by lending money.
Currently, there are more than 560 authorized overseas employment agencies, and he advised those who plan to go abroad to do thorough research and directly connect with authorized agencies.
