Recruitment fraud

Recruitment fraud

From Neraca

Earlier this month, 13 young men came to the Telkom office on Jl. Gatot Subroto, South Jakarta. They had apparently been deceived while trying to find employment in this office.

The men said they had given money ranging from Rp 350,000 to Rp 2,000,000 to a person identified as RH. RH promised that he could arrange for them to become Telkom employees.

It later became known that RH was a former employee of a foundation under Telkom's management. Fortunately the man has now been detained by the authorities.

Most of the victims had a high school education, and some of them were university graduates.

I would like to warn the public to be on the alert against such fraud. Telkom always carries out its recruitment by making an announcement in the media, and the applicants are not charged any fees whatsoever.
