Fake

United States Embassy in Malawi has warned Malawians to be wary of fraudsters who are demanding money from people in order to offer them employment as Health Surveillance Assistants.

In a statement issued, the embassy says it is aware of recent reports in Zomba of individuals purporting to represent the US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) charging individuals to apply for employment as Health Surveillance Assistant.

According to the statement, the swindlers later disappeared after collecting the money and did not provide the services promised.

The US Embassy has condemned the act saying it does not charge anything for employment.

“The CDC, and all other US government agencies operating in Malawi, do not charge individuals to apply for employment,” says the statement.

It also warns Malawians that if they are asked to pay money to apply for a job with US Government, they should not pay and should immediately report the fraudsters to the Malawi Police Service (MPS) or to the US Embassy.

Meanwhile, the US embassy is working hand in hand with the police to establish people behind the malpractice.
