The use of TikTok as a platform for fake job recruitment is super concerning . I mean, it's already a breeding ground for misinformation and catfishing, but when it comes to something as serious as finding employment abroad, that's just ridiculous . These scammers are preying on people who are genuinely desperate and don't know any better, leaving them with nothing but financial ruin . The fact that some of these agencies are using fake documents and set up interviews is just disgusting . The Kenyan government needs to step up its game and crack down on these agencies ASAP . And TikTok, you need to do something about it too! It's time to take responsibility for the platform's role in enabling this kind of scamming behavior .
Scammers on TikTok r taking advantage of people's hopes 4 a better life abroad. It's like they r preying on people's desperation & vulnerabilities . How can a recruitment agency claim 2 have secured u a job in Amsterdam if they ain't even registered w/ the Kenyan gov? This is just ridiculous!
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, if people can't be careful when searching for jobs online they're f**kin' themselves... Scammers are gonna exploit anyone who's willing to take a chance on a crazy opportunity that sounds too good to be true. And honestly, it's the job seekers' fault for thinking they can just swipe through and find the perfect gig without doing their research. They're so desperate to escape their situation that they overlook red flags left and right.
And let's be real, even if these agencies are registered, it's not a guarantee they're legit. There's gotta be some accountability for these scammers... but I guess that's a hard sell when people are too busy getting their hopes up about finding that dream job abroad . The system's broken, and until people start being more cautious online, we'll just keep seeing these scams pop up.
