Forging letters from professional recruiters, they target young graduates and skilled workers
several large-scale employers bouncing back to the usual pace of international recruitments, fraudsters who had earlier flourished in illegal recruitment business through fake job offers are back.
Forging appointment letters from professional recruiters offering attractive pay packages and liberal terms and conditions, they mostly target young graduates and skilled workers who are keen on working in the United Kingdom (UK).

Noticing the trend, professionals from Kerala in the UK are making aspirants aware of the scam through social media.
