Scams in the City

If you're living somewhere in the city you should be vigilant with this kind of people. Although there are also scammers in the rural area but not as rampant in the city. I still remember my experience few years back when I firstly arrived in the city, I was looking for a job and applied for a certain agency gladly it was closed now :) (wonder if those people were still in jail until now). I saw there ads in a local newspaper and they were looking for a "marketing assistant". As a newly graduate person and wants to have a job right away, I decided to apply for them.

I went to there office to apply for a job and got amazed because a huge number of applicants were also there waiting and hoping to have a job. It was a long hour of waiting for my interview to came and finally my turn came up. The interviewer ask me some personal and educational background question, And I answered him properly. What I really wonder and confused because after the interview he ask me some amount of money before they will hire me for a certain job. They called it processing and placement fee. Even though I came from a rural area, I was not that easy to be fooled by somebody. I answered him that I will think about it first before I will accept there job offer and pay them for a processing and placement fee.

When I arrived at home my uncle ask me the result of my job interview and I told him that the company is asking for some money for a placement and processing fee. He then told me not to come back on that company because it's just another way of scams. There are lots of scam available in the city right now. And I felt sorry for those people who were victimize by these group of scammers and sad to say most of there victims are people who came from rural area. Maybe if there are only good opportunities in the rural area, these people would not came in the city to look for job and rather stay in the province.
