JICA warns against fraudulent activities circulating on online platforms

The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Bangladesh Office has recently become aware of various fraudulent activities on numerous online platforms.

The scammers misuse JICA's name to endorse fake savings schemes, loan offers, and job opportunities. JICA strongly condemns such deceptive practices and urges the public to remain cautious about such offers and messages.

These scams falsely claim to provide individual loans on behalf of JICA and often request advance fees or loan processing. Some Facebook posts have also provided fictitious savings schemes and employment opportunities in return for money under JICA's name.

JICA strongly condemns these misleading practices and would like to clarify that the organisation neither provides loans to individuals nor charges any fee at any stage of the recruitment process. All genuine information about JICA is available through official communication channels. 

So, the JICA Bangladesh Office asks that the public remain careful, verify, and report any suspicious offers or messages under JICA's name. The organisation will continue supporting Bangladesh's development through transparent and ethical partnerships. 

Please take a look at the official platforms for verified information and to contact JICA.
