Don’t be fooled by high-paying online job offers — you could lose your freedom.

According to recent media reports, criminal groups have been using social media platforms and messaging apps to recruit people with promises of high-paying jobs or work transporting goods. Victims may be lured to designated locations, have their freedom restricted, or even be forced to participate in illegal activities. Some cases have also involved the recruitment of minors. Police are actively investigating these incidents.

Be especially cautious of high-paying job postings, invitations from unknown sources, unsolicited contact from strangers, or requests to travel to unfamiliar locations. Always verify the information carefully and do not trust or cooperate with suspicious requests. This can help prevent fraud, forced involvement in illegal activities, or exploitation by criminal groups.

If you notice anything suspicious, or if you are threatened, controlled, or prevented from leaving, seek help immediately from your teachers, family members, or the police. You can also call the Campus Safety Hotline at 04-2332-0808.
