CNBC AI News, August 11th – Two women have reportedly come forward alleging they were scammed out of thousands of dollars in training fees after responding to fraudulent job postings on 58.com, a popular Chinese online marketplace. The women claim they were even manipulated into establishing shell companies.
According to reports, the women responded to recruitment ads posted by a domestic service company called “Liu Ba Jia Zheng” (六八家政) on 58.com. They paid significant training fees, allegedly amounting to tens of thousands of yuan, based on the recruiter’s promises of monthly salaries exceeding 10,000 yuan.
However, after working for a period, the women discovered that the promised high salaries were unattainable. Instead of the promised earnings, they found their earning potential severely lacking.
Adding insult to injury, the domestic service company allegedly suggested they register personal companies to create the illusion of scale and actively solicit potential job seekers through the 58.com platform, effectively becoming recruiters themselves.
When confronted about discrepancies like the registered business address not matching the actual office location, the individual involved feigned ignorance, claiming to have forgotten who had helped with the business registration.
Legal experts suggest that 58.com has a responsibility to properly vet job postings and should fulfill its duty of due diligence to protect job seekers from fraud. The lawyer emphasized 58.com’s role as trusted platform for employment related services.
As of press time, 58.com has not issued a statement addressing the allegations.
