Description
A BBC investigation has found that more than 50 people were tricked into working for a design agency that turned out to be fake. They were hired during the lockdown and convinced the company was a successful business. But it had an online universe of fake profiles, stolen work and lies. Workers were all Jobfished.
Charmaine Cozier talks to BBC reporter Catrin Nye who investigated this story for the past 12 months and to former employee, Jordan Carter about what happened to him
The programme also discusses what lessons can we learn to keep safe while searching and applying for jobs and what you can do if your job was not “as advertised”?
We are offered guidance by::
Keith Rosser , Co-Director and Chair of Jobsaware which provides free and independent advice on how to protect your rights as a non-permanent worker, whether that's through an agency, umbrella company or as part of the gig economy.
John Clinch, an employment lawyer at 3CS Corporate Solicitors Ltd
