Surge in Job Scams in Nepal Spotlights Need for Reliable Recruitment Agencies
By 
Kathmandu – June 2025 — A concerning trend of job-related fraud in Nepal has once again hit the news, raising alarms for hopeful migrant workers and highlighting the crucial need for trustworthy recruitment services. Recent Arrests Shine a Light on Domestic Scam Trend On June 10, 2025, police apprehended three individuals—Rabindra Basukala (44), Laxman Parajuli (44), and Arun Raj Sharma (47)—in Kathmandu and Bhaktapur for allegedly scamming job seekers. They reportedly raked in large sums by promising job placements in the UK and Canada, only to vanish after pocketing the payments. One victim forked out Rs 560,000 for a supposed UK job, while another group collectively lost around Rs 110.7 million for placements abroad. In another incident from May, Jasman Tamang, Bhupal Shrestha, and Min Bahadur Thapa tricked people with fake job offers in Europe, swindling amounts ranging from Rs 520,000 to Rs 8.3 million each.
What This Means for Job Seekers: These alarming trends serve as a stark reminder: not everyone or every agency offering overseas jobs can be trusted. Job seekers are often asked to pay upfront but end up with nothing in return—and authorities may take their time to respond.
