Employment-related scams are increasing across Australia. In this podcast, we spoke with one affected individual (whose identity has been concealed), who explained how fraudsters lure people with fake job offers and demand upfront payments under the pretense of securing employment. We also discussed with Naishad Gadhani, career counsellor and employment coach at Monash University, about how to identify fake job portals and also suggested pathways for job seekers to attain career opportunities.
