Dear Valued Member,

Thank you for being a part of Mustakbil.com, Pakistan’s leading jobs site. We put every effort to make Mustakbil.com a reliable and safe platform for online job search. We have taken various steps to ensure the safety of the members of our website. As a part of our efforts we send periodic updates to the jobseekers in which we advice on safe online job search and create awareness about various employment scams.

This is an important update to let you know that these days some fake/fraud companies are using a new method to fool jobseekers. They are now using Value Payable Post (VPP) service offered by Post Office to send a parcel containing some fake documents about jobs application/interview/test. Jobseekers are required to pay a certain amount at the time of receiving of the parcel. We strongly advise jobseekers that they should refuse to accept such job related parcels against which they are asked to pay any amount.

We also advise jobseekers that they should never pay any money to anybody during job application, test, interview and selection process.

We have also published a detailed blog post on employment scams, which can be viewed on the following url:
