Literal na "Avoid the trap!, 'Wag mabiktima ng mapagpanggap!"
As the pandemic occurred, need for jobs that allows individuals to stay in the comfort of their homes has soared throughout the depths of the only medium that has made communication to others possible, social media. Since the peak of such, the most popular job that other’s have migrated to was BPO or Call center, which only required some of the easily accessible technology of today. As we find a way to push through the barriers given by the COVID-19 pandemic, so did the lingering desperate deviants.
Numerous accounts in certain FB groups would pretend to be recruiters of infamous Call center agency and take advantage of the situations. Wherein, they lure interested users into giving them information and ghosting them--- cuts off all online communication with someone else, and without an explanation--- as soon as they’ve collected sufficient information. In some cases, some false recruiters would include a requirement of payment just to be hired, albeit, there is no such thing in the first place. Some could say that this is as similar to false investments. Rather than the user actually earning, they are being robbed. These people are one of the aspects that makes the social media a dangerous place again and again.
False job posts about ‘In need’ of new recruits has been circulating the cyberspace of ‘Facebook’ since way before—around 2014 (WhenInManila, 2014) Philippines highest unemployment rate was back in 2006 with a rate of 4.05% , followed by 3.86% back in 2009 (O’Neill, 2022). As of October 2022, The Philippine Statistics Authority reported today that the country's unemployment rate dropped to 4.5 percent from 7.4 percent during the same period last year (National Economic and Development Authority, 2022)
