Police Suspect Rescued Victims of Overseas Job Fraud Syndicates Becoming Recruiters
KUALA LUMPUR: The Royal Malaysian Police have raised concerns about victims of overseas job fraud syndicates who were rescued earlier potentially becoming agents of the syndicate to recruit Malaysians to work abroad.
Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain, the Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID) director, revealed that this suspicion arose during the screening process of individuals rescued in Myanmar recently.
During a press conference at the CID Community Engagement Session in TTDI Community Centre, Mohd Shuhaily stated, “When we screen them at the airport, we realised that these individuals have travelled to other countries under suspicious circumstances.”
He added, “Their responses during questioning seemed rehearsed, indicating that they may have been ‘trained’ to recruit others into the syndicate.”

To address this growing concern, Mohd Shuhaily mentioned that the police have informed the Home Ministry to review the procedures for issuing travel documents to victims of job fraud syndicates seeking employment abroad.
Furthermore, the CID director disclosed that 16 individuals who had previously been involved in employment fraud syndicates have returned to the country, demonstrating a lack of fear or remorse for their actions.
According to Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa, the Bukit Aman CID (Investigation/Legal) deputy director, a total of 326 Malaysians have been rescued from overseas job offer fraud syndicates from 2021 to Feb 23, with 133 individuals still stranded abroad.
Most of the victims were lured to countries such as Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Laos. Research shows that 73 per cent of them were involved in fraudulent activities, 12 per cent worked in customer service roles, eight per cent were employed in casinos, and seven per cent held various positions such as cooks.
These alarming developments highlight the need for increased vigilance and collaboration between law enforcement agencies and government bodies to combat the growing threat of overseas job fraud syndicates.
