Job Scams in Pakistan (MA Group of companies)

 I am writing this blog to warn everyone who is looking for jobs through newpaper or online ads. 

Short summary/ TLDR: Scam ads are given in newspapers with attractive salary to lure people in and then they try to kidnap them and ask for ransom  

This happened with someone I know personally and I also found a Facebook post about it. So thought of sharing it here. 

So what they do it, they target people looking for jobs (and potentially from middle class backgrounds). When people looking for job call them on their number and they ask them to come for interview ( usually in Lahore). They ask them to come alone sometimes or they sometimes interview them propely and then say their current branch is under renovation and ask them to join branch in Peshawar. 

Their agenda is to kidnap the individual and ask for ransom money from their parents/relatives. 

I am posting a screenshot where a doctor tells what happened with him
