Nonexistent PO Box

Nonexistent PO Box

From Pikiran Rakyat

In mid-July, Pikiran Rakyat ran an advertisement for a job opening placed by a social organization cooperating with a Dutch non-governmental organization in entrepreneurship development.

The ad stated that an applicant wishing to take part in their training was required to transfer Rp 75,000 to a BCA account and send a copy of the remittance slip to PO Box 1854 BD Bandung 40000.

I applied and transferred the money as requested. A month later, however, my letter of application was returned by the post office with a note reading "PO Box 1854 BD does not exist".

My money has gone and I have been cheated. Job seekers all over the country should be made aware beware of such a trick.
