Kathmandu: The Nepali Embassy in Berlin has raised alarm over an increase in fraudulent employment schemes targeting Nepali citizens in Europe.
In a notice issued on Friday, the embassy cautioned Nepalis to remain vigilant, highlighting cases of workers in Romania, Croatia, and Malta being trafficked illegally to Poland and Bulgaria under the pretense of lucrative job opportunities.
The embassy expressed concern about the role of social media platforms, such as TikTok and Facebook, in disseminating false information and luring unsuspecting individuals.
Nepalis with valid work permits were advised to strictly adhere to the terms of their authorization and work only in the designated country. The embassy also urged individuals to avoid engaging in illegal activities and encouraged victims to report such incidents with concrete evidence.
This warning underscores the growing need for awareness among Nepali workers abroad and stricter enforcement to combat trafficking and fraud in European labor markets.
