New Graduates and Teachers have been cautioned about scammers in Papua New Guinea (PNG), particularly those who have recently graduated. They are advised not to engage with fraudsters posing as employers from the Teaching Service Commission and demanding fees. Teaching Service Commission (TSC) Acting Chairman, Mr. Samson Wangihomie, gave this warning following a social media post that was shared. The post encouraged new graduates and teachers who are not yet receiving a salary to reach out to the poster via a provided phone number for assistance, which comes at a cost. He said the poster, “Anonymous Participant” used the TSC’s logo, phone and fax numbers but with the Department of Education’s postal address. This inconsistency highlights the lengths to which these individuals will go to deceive and exploit unwary teachers and recent graduates. Mr. Wangihomie urged teachers and new graduates to avoid falling for such tricks. He stressed that all services offered by the Teaching Service and the Department of Education are provided at no cost. TSC Commissioner Operations Mr. Maini Mike Ugaia also responded urging teachers to be mindful of such scammers. “Please do not entertain such Facebook post. Teachers and new graduates should take heed and take note that you do not get into this trap.” Mr. Ugaia also warned the anonymous participant to cease what he/she is doing as such activities amounts to a serious fraud case. There will come a time where such person or intending persons will be caught. “So, I warn you to stop.”
