Overseas employment scams start with "guaranteed high earnings" and end with passport confiscation, imprisonment, forced labor, and violence. There has been a recent surge in recruiters targeting Korean youth across Southeast Asia, and the double jeopardy of victims being recruited into criminal endeavors is high. Prevention is a matter of screening and procedures. Verify the company's identity with domestic authorities, decline any job offers after tourism or visa-free entry, and review contracts and salary schedules clearly. Check foreign ministry safety alerts and local security; and ⑤ Share travel arrangements with family and friends and prepare emergency contacts. Don't take any chances - prudence will save your life. #overseasjobscams #highpayingjobs #youthsafety #kotra #safetytravelingabroad
