Information has been revealed regarding a financial scam falsely promising foreign employment, carried out using photographs of officials of the Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment (SLBFE).

Several complaints have been received regarding this scam, which has been committed by misusing photos posted on the bureau’s official Facebook page.
