Pakistan government issued a warning for citizens seeking jobs in the Middle East on Monday.
The Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development (MOPHRD) posted pictures of fake UAE-based job advertisements on its social media pages, warning job seekers to not make payments to companies mentioned in the ads in order to process their applications.
The ads published in Pakistani newspapers are issued by fraud companies - against which the government has taken legal action, the brief statement added.
Earlier on Sunday, APP reported that the Bureau of Emigration and Overseas Employment had barred twelve foreign recruiting firms from hiring Pakistani workers due to non-compliance of employment code.
The illegal companies were flouting rules, including not offering promised jobs, timely and agreed salaries and issuing fake visas, a top official from BEOE told APP.
The recently posted ads promised Dubai-based jobs in sales, packaging, finance, security and engineering among others. The salary offer would range from Dh1,000 to Dh4,000.
These firms usually pose as consultancies or travel agencies, providing both local and UAE numbers for calls and receiving documents of the interested job seeker.
Prime Minister Imran Khan's government want to empower Pakistani workforce through vocational training and capacity building. They have taken strict action against those running job scams - mostly Gulf-based - and urged people to not pay them for fake job opportunities.
