Indonesian Ambassador to Cambodia, Santo Darmosumarto noted that many of Indonesian nationals lured by misleading job offers in Cambodia, promising high salaries, light work, attractive facilities, and minimal requirements.

According to Cambodia’s immigration authorities, more than 131,000 Indonesians were legally residing and working in Cambodia in 2024. Many of those involved in online scams had been living in the country for more than six months, Ambassador Santo said.

“This disturbing trend shows that despite all the efforts to inform and warn, too many Indonesians are still falling into the trap of fake overseas job offers,” he added.

In response to the crisis, the embassy pledged to strengthen coordination with relevant agencies in Indonesia to improve prevention, enforcement, and victim support efforts.

Ambassador Santo also emphasized the urgent need for greater digital literacy and public awareness to protect Indonesian citizens from falling prey to fraudulent job schemes and cybercrimes.

“We must empower our people to recognize and avoid illegal job recruitment and online scams that are costing lives and livelihoods,” he stated.
