KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 20 — Members of the public should beware a scam offering jobs through the e-mail using Universiti Malaya’s (UM) name.
In a statement today, UM said the scam involved an e-mail titled ’Employment offer letter from University of Malaya, Malaysia’ which made it seem that it was connected to the university.
“There are people who recruit expatriates or foreigners and get a deposit from them to obtain work permits or visas using UM’s name,” it said.
It added that the university’s intake exercises were done through official channels and it would not appoint a third party or agent for this purpose.
UM said the university’s official website was http://um.edu.my and any communication on staff intake was through the domain @um.edu.my. Any other format was false. — Bernama
