Scam Alert: Fraudsters Use Nepal Bank’s Name to Run Online Job Scam

A concerning online scam has surfaced as fraudsters misuse the name of Nepal Bank to lure jobseekers with fake employment offers. The rise of digital job scams has put many people, especially young seekers at risk of financial loss and identity theft.

Fake Job Offers Targeting the Public

Scammers have been circulating messages and social media posts claiming that Nepal Bank is hiring for multiple positions. These fake ads often promise attractive salaries and quick selection, making them appealing to unemployed youths and fresh graduates.

Demanding Money for Recruitment

One of the biggest red flags in the scam is that applicants are asked to pay “registration fees,” “training charges,” or “document verification costs.” Genuine recruitment processes at official institutions never require such payments, making these demands a clear indication of fraud.

Misusing a Trusted Name

Nepal Bank is one of the oldest and most trusted financial institutions in the country. By using its name and logo illegally, scammers create a false sense of credibility and trick victims into believing the job opportunities are real.

How Jobseekers Can Stay Safe

To avoid falling victim to such fraud:

• Verify job announcements only through official websites or authorized notices.
  
• Never pay money during any stage of the hiring process.
  
• Avoid sharing personal documents with unverified contacts.
  
• Report suspicious pages or individuals immediately.
  

Need for Public Awareness

As online scams continue to grow, awareness is crucial. Educating jobseekers about safe job-search practices can help prevent fraud and protect thousands of people from financial harm.
