一名25岁的香港女子在求职过程中上当受骗，在一个月内损失超过225万港元。她回应一份兼职帮手的招聘广告后，被要求签署文件并借取多笔贷款。香港工会呼吁加强在线招聘平台的雇主验证规定。
受害女子于去年年底因健康问题辞去本地大学研究助理的工作。今年1月，她在网上看到一份时薪90港元的“兼职助手”职位广告，并顺利通过所有“面试”后被录用。
3月，她被要求签署文件，以协助一名“律师”为“内地大佬”提供“融资”支持。当天，她被带到三家贷款公司借款，并开设虚拟银行账户将资金转至诈骗者指定的账户。
她在香港工会联合会周六的记者会上表示：“他们说如果我不帮内地老板，就要面临数百万人民币的违约罚款。”她补充道，诈骗者声称这只是程序，公司会偿还贷款让她还款。
事件曝光后，引发对加强《雇佣条例》和《职业介绍所规例》的呼声，特别是要求在线就业平台验证雇主身份。警方科技及金融罪案调查队正调查此案，地点涉及观塘及九龙东。
